Went for a late lunch all of our food was awesome crispy and not oily. We ordered fish and chips and burgers. All of our food was hot and tasted great.
It's become a once-a-week regular for us after finishing cleaning work on Campus. Relocating to Dunedin in August 2013 we'd tried everything in Andy Bay/South Dunedin and it wasn't until my husband got a job at Polytech in March 2014 that he discovered Flying Squid. Great value and taste - even Blue Cod and Snapper are an affordable treat. The batter used for the fish is light and always crispy.
Sorry guys, we can't comment on other menu items, because we're not tired of the Fish and Chips yet.
I've generally found the staff polite and helpful and unlike many takeaway joints, they smile :-).

Best Take away shop in the City! Good quality Food and nice people plus they have a wide verity of drinks and its the cheapest fish and chip shop I've ever been to but it has the best quality food! I would definitely go there again For there great quality fish or there amazing chips If your looking for fast food anywhere go to the flying squid because there stuff is great!
Just one suggestion to make excellent. that numbers are used for orders just to limit confusion!
You can't seem to go wrong with the Flying Squid, or "Squiddies" as it is known to locals. For many years it has won the annual Critic (Otagon University's Student Association magazine) Fish and Chip review, which reviews local fish and chip places for their value, and taste, of their cuisine.
I have been there a few times myself, and do agree that both the amount, and the taste especially, of what I am getting for my money to be very worthwhile.
Thank you Squiddies for always being their for the students!
Went for the French fries. Saw all the reviews about how amazing they are and had to check for myself. The reviews did not disappoint. Ordered way too much but did not regret it one bit. Great price as well.
Always great, they never disappoint. By far the best fish and chips shop near the student quarter. Absolutely recommended for everyone to visit if you are looking for some fish and chips. I love their big bags of hot chips great move really awesome
I thoroughly enjoyed my meal here. the chips were absolutely excellent, some of the best i've ever had. My partner got battered hoki and it was delicious. also very reasonably priced. staff were very friendly.
We travel 4 km out of way to get our fries here as the oil used is always good quality. I'm very diligent about avoiding plastic packaging. I'm always accommodated in my request for paper wrapping and using my cloth reusable bag.
The owner was very friendly and fish n chips were not greasy at all!! It was so good!
I love this place. Cheap and delish
Best chips in Dunedin and they do GF fish.
Really good fish and chips. Not too greasy and the snapper was delicious. Gets pretty busy during student semesters, not much room to dine but fish and chips are best eaten outdoors anyway.
Really awesome place for chips. They offer shoestring and crinkle in a variety of sizes and are always quick. While they're a fish and chips store, they offer a lot more than just those two items.
Best kumara fries I tried in New Zealand! Awesome - a must take if you are here. Veggie burger and regular fries on the other hand were nothing special. Very friendly and nice team working on meals.
One of the best takeaways in Dunedin! Their blue cod and shoestring chips is simply to die for! The batter on the fish is crisp and light, the fish tastes amazing and they add that finishing touch by topping it off with a little lemon pepper. The chips are cooked perfectly and crisp but still nice and fluffy inside. They have a decent menu with gluten free and dairy free options available as well as burgers. Behind the counter is a selection of chilled drinks as well as a few lollies and treats if you can't quite wait for your meal to be cooked.
Great place to buy lots of takeaways from. The service is good, and because it is often packed, you may wait ~10 mins for your order. Don't have high expectations here, afterall it is a takeaway shop (nothing fancy); however, for a takeaway shop it is clean, fast and cheap - 3 great reasons people go for a feed. They also have lunch deals for some of their burgers. This shop has fed me through exams countless times.
Fish is fresh and very tender.

The best, THE BEST! Chips in town. Crinkle cut, fatties, shoestring, a Mix even! My fave is their garlic salt seasoning. OMG! Addictive, if you're a chip fiend like me. They have been consistent since I was a little kid and my eyes still light up when I see, hear of, go to, The Flying Squid.
In my opinion this place is iconic.
