Reasonable fish & chips - best in Gulf Harbour anyway, probably need to change the oil more frequently as sometimes it does taste a bit stale
Their food is pretty good, especially their crumbed snapper. The prices are nice enough and my food always tastes fresh :) When I have no food at home and when I'm too lazy to cook, this place is the first place that comes to my mind
This is our local fish and chip shop so have had food from here quite a bit. I am quite surprised to see the negative reviews as normally I hear people rave about this place. Personally I quite like it. The chips are always very good, the fish a bit on the greasy side unless you get it crumbed, husband says the burgers and hotdogs good. You have to ask to get the toasted sandwiches cut which is a bit of a pain but they taste as you would expect. We normally phone ahead and most of the time it is a 10-15min wait which is what I would expect. For fish and chips you don't get much better this end of the coast.
If your looking for a quick hearty fix then this is the place to go, with alot on their take away menu, you will surely find something to fill the gap.
Fantastic food at great prices, it may take a few minutes to get your order because they are usually quite busy, but it is worth the wait. Fish and chips are a favorite and their old fashioned potato fritters are the best north if the harbour bridge. Milkshakes are yummy. A real treat and you can walk across the grass and eat eat your food by he Gulf Harbour waterways rotunda.
Hi All,
UK Fish & Chips been there done that......yuck.
Visited the Drunken Crayfish tonight for a feed and the food and service was very good. The blue cod I ordered was delicious and feedback from my other half about her hamburger was also very good. I have been there about 10 times now and it has always been a cut above your average fish and chips shop and a lot better than any UK fish and chips shop that I've been to and I've been to a few.
For starters, I am a big critic of fish and chips restaurants, and have only found a select few I would revisit. I have recently become partial to the Rice Bran Oil and Alfa One Spread that is now purchased and used and find myself not going back to anything else. This is what drew me to the Drunken Crayfish to begin with.
The Drunken Crayfish is one of the best fish and chips places I have come across and I enjoy going in there. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food is fantastic.
We live locally, last night must have been the busiest i have seen Drunken Crayfish, as usual the fish & chips were outstanding , we never go anywhere else, thanks guys the blue cod was huge !, the fresh gurnard was beautiful, see you next week !.

Went here last night, great fish and chips, busy shop, would pay to phone ahead, thanks guys, very friendly, helpful and great food, best i have had in a long time.Regards Jason
Food was all fried really well and in good quality oil. Definitely a nice pit stop. Make sure to ask for lemon wedges (complimentary)
We pop in once in a while and always get a lovely meal.
The children have burger and chips, sometimes crab sticks or fish and chips.
Great value and always good quality.
We love this place, not the cheapest, but we'll worth the expense. Yum! Not greasy, conscientious in their packaging, we are loving there takeaways. Phone your order, the wait is soooo worth it!
Hoki and chips was lovely. I'd prefer only half chips though. Seems wasteful.
They do make very nice burgers. Fair prices.
Lovely staff - I would recommend calling to place your order. Or you can find yourself waiting for your meal from 15 to 30 mins
100% the only place I go to get wonton soup. Best wonton soup on the coast
Really nice food and decent portions!!! Absolutely great value for money. We had the crumbed Snapper and Double Sailor burger. Highly recommended!! We definitely have this more often. Thank you!!
The premium crumbed fish (Gurnard, Tarakihi etc.) is great. My only grumble is the wait time given for my phone order was 20min, but it was 45min before the order was ready
Best chips I think I’ve ever had! They’re so crispy and salty, there can be really long wait times and the younger staff can often be quite stressed out. I would recommend calling in advance so you don’t have to wait! But either way the food is worth the wait!
Had fish and chips from here yesterday. Ordered 2 pc fish, kumara chips and spring roll ... When it arrived it didn't look like enough for both of us so ordered scoop of chips as well.. It seems expensive for the amount you get but trust me... It was definitely enough for 2 people to eat and not feel over full and yuck afterwards. (like back in the day when portion sizes were huge and cheap). The food was cooked really well, crispy fish and chips. Kumara chips not crispy but that's how they generally turn out anyway. Still delicious!
