Erik’s Fish and Chips is easily the best fish and chips shop in Queenstown.

I leveled-up my fish & chips order with Monk Fish ($9) and Erik’s Homemade Chips ($7.90) and there were no regret! The meaty monk fish had a nice tight bite to it and had a mild sweet flavor. The extra crispy Erik’s Homemade Chips were so good!

Kai Kart Stewart Island Oban Best Fish And Chips New Zealand

If you could only choose one place to eat on Stewart Island, it’s definitely gonna be Kai Kart! It is Stewart Island’s only Fish & Chips store, yet it is still the best one I ever had in New Zealand. With its fresh seafood and delicious recipes, no doubt people are willing to wait 45 minutes to get their food from Kai Kart.

I order Grilled Blue Cod ($11), half scoop of chips ($5), and Battered Mussels ($8 for six pieces). They had three mussels left so they replace the remaining ones with Blue Cod Fish Bites ($9 for two pieces). The Grilled Blue Cod was simple yet so fresh and tasty. The hot chips were addictively nice and crispy. I love the big sized Battered Mussels and they tasted very fresh and juicy. The delicious Fish Bites are similar to the smaller version of battered fish.

Riverside Takeaways Wairoa Fish and Chips New Zealand

Riverside Takeaways, Wairoa: A local’s favorite fish & chips and takeaway shop in the small town of Wairoa, in the North Island of New Zealand. I had a big meal of double fish and chips set meal with salad for $20 (+$1 for an additional fried egg). The huge battered fish fillets came piping hot and everything’s on point! The texture of the fish was firm, thick yet tender, and the batter’s thickness was just right. The crinkle cuts hot chips were very crispy, and the refreshing salad helped cools the palate down.

Just opposite the road, you can find some picnic tables with the views of Wairoa River to enjoy your takeaway meals. There were many seagulls and a few small native birds surrounding me when I was eating but they weren’t aggressive or trying to steal my food.

River's Catch Rotorua Best Fish and Chips and Fish Tacos

When passing thru Rotorua, River’s Catch is my most favorite fish and chips shop to stop by and to have a guaranteed satisfying feast. The shop is run by a cool chef who is passionate about bringing quality good food to you.

The Double Double combo (30NZD) comes with two fish, two adobo fish tacos, four potato fritters, and chips. The fish tasted really fresh with perfectly soft and flaky texture. I like the thick crunchy batter that did not feel too oily. The basic-looking potato fritters are the best I had so far, they really know how to mix their batter and fry them with the right temperature and timing!

Fresh & Tasty Mangonui Fish and Chips

Mangonui’s Fresh & Tasty Takeaways is a no-frills, local fish n chips and fast food shop. Being so close to the ‘World Famous’ Mangonui Fish & Chips Shop, Fresh & Tasty Mangonui often get overlooked by the tourists. However, when discovered, visitors always leave with satisfaction and positive reviews.

I discovered this shop when I book my stay at the cozy Mangonui Hotel, as the shop is just beside the hotel. You are also welcome to order the food to have it in the bar at the hotel’s ground level.

I got the Mangonui Fresh & Tasty Specials Set B (19NZD). This wholesome set includes two pieces of Blue Warehou fish fillet, two hash browns, two deep fried wontons and chips. That’s like half the price of what you would get charged from the touristy Mangonui Fish Shop!

How about the taste and quality? Well, the fish was fresh and nicely battered. Though, I felt that the fish was a little dry and too firm for my liking. But to be fair, it was a different kind of fish from the previous fish & chips shop I visited (blue warehou contains less fat and tend to be quite firm). The hash browns were very crispy and pretty amazing. The wontons and chips were standard and nothing to complain about.

Operating hours:

Everyday: 11am – 8.30pm

Hoki fish (9.50NZD)

Blue Warehou (8.50NZD)

Gurnard (10.50NZD)

Snapper (12.50NZD)

Chips (small – 3.50NZD; regular – 5.60NZD)

Kumara Chips (9NZD)

Hash Brown (3.50NZD)

Hot Dog (5NZD)

Sea Dog (7.50NZD)

American Hotdog (7.50NZD)

Sausages (3.50NZD)

Prawn Twisters (2.50NZD)

Mussels (2.50NZD)

Scallop (4.50NZD)

Mussel Fritters (8NZD)

Squid Rings 6 pack (6NZD)

Crab Stick (3NZD)

Fish Cake (3NZD)

Potato Fritter (2NZD)

Pineapple Fritter (3.50NZD)

Burgers (9-15.50NZD)

Triple Toasted Sandwiches (7-10NZD)

World's Famous Mangonui Fish Shop fish n chips North Island New Zealand

I discovered the proclaimed world’s famous Mangonui Fish Shop only when I booked a hotel in the small settlement of Mangonui. Knowing that it is quite touristy with higher pricings from the reviews, I decided to give it a try, to see if it’s worth it.

I ordered the Lemonfish with a scoop of Regular Fat Chips (15NZD). The lemonfish has a medium texture (neither too soft nor too firm) with a mild flavor. The fish fillet was pretty well battered and fried. The hot chips were nicely deep fried with a creamy flesh. All in all, the fish and chips were delicious. The pricing of 15NZD is not too bad compared to most parts of New Zealand, though some may think it’s overpriced in this small settlement of Mangonui.

Later that night, I ordered another batch of fish and chips from the nearby, more budget friendly Mangonui Fresh & Tasty Takeaways, to compare the taste.

Mangonui Fish Shop ocean view dining

One attractive perks of eating at Mangonui Fish Shop is that the shop is sitting on top of the water. You get to enjoy the sea view, while having your hot and delicious fish and chips.
