I don't know what the others are on about. My partner and I were in Ahuriri for a casual date night and got hungry. This place knows how to make great fish and chips! The batter on the fish was so crispy and clean tasting! The garlic butter chips were PERFECT! I'm always disappointed with soggy battered fish and overly buttered chips (without garlic flavour). These guys do it right! Thanks guys!We'll defiantly be back!

I've pretty much been to every place in Napier for fish and chips. And I can say this is a great place taste wise, the fish and egg burger leaves you feeling not too bloated, not guilty for the fat content, it is very fresh and crisp, and is my absolute favorite, I usually drove out to Clive to order there but didn't realize Napier had one until of late.  I usually drown the meals with tomato sauce. But can really agree that this is not needed when I've ordered from here. The thick chips are crisp and perfectly cooked. A bit on the expensive side when it comes to fish and chip takeaways. But when i want to treat myself this is surely the place for a quick meal for me. Always satisfied. 100% recommended the fish and egg burger with thick chips and a nice cold ginger beer. my cravings at the moment being pregnant.

Amazing fish and chips here! Best in the North Island! The freshest blue cod, good selection, and friendly staff. We always get these when we go to Napier for the day and have them on the beach

This is our regular. Been there many times and never had a bad experience. The blue cod is the best fish i have ever tasted still to this day. Service is awesome. My wife is gluten free and they cater for that also which is quite unusal for fish n chip shops. Keep up the good work mark.

They were closed during hours they advertised as being open, but to their credit they opened their doors for me, and the fish 'n' chips were great.

Friendly staff, clean premises, crumbed Gurnard was fresh, both the crumbs and fish were absolutely delicious. I'm a chip connoisseur (addict) and the chips were how every chip shop nationwide should cook their chips - DELECTABLE! My new go-to when in Napier, highly recommend.

We came here for blue cod and we were not disappointed. The blue cod and chips was worth the wait (5 years since our last visit to NZ) and the blue cod did not let us down it was delish.

Best Fish and chips I've had in a long time. Fish was fresh and chips plentiful. The Dutch snacks also made the experience a unique one and it was nice we could sit down and eat

This is an iconic Fish And Chip shop that was previously based by the Surf Club. It moved to its current location and was sold to current owners. More importantly, the new owners appear to have stuck tried and true recipes. The batter is lovely and not greasy, chips are tasty and nice clean store. 😋 when in Napier this is my go too shop 👍

Possibly the best crumbed fish we have ever had! Juicy and generous fillets of fish in a crispy and tasty crumb. The fries were great too. Thank you!

Best F & C I've had in years! Now I can't eat F&C in my own hometown as I will be dissapointed.

Come for the food and ... you'll leave with good food. Great quality fish and chips with good selection of prime fillets and good portion sizes. Service was good. Atmosphere basic, but just outside you've got Napier Harbour which is pretty cool. I'll be back the next time fresh comfort food is required.

Nice place to be on a summer evening. Cool breeze off the harbour, warm sun shinning while my 2 tarakihi and chips are cooked. Very nice but could be better (batter was slightly overdone).

$15 Feed for 3 and still plenty leftover. A little oily but super delicious nonetheless. Drinks are abit overpriced so I recommend getting your drinks elsewhere.
