What People Say

"Highly recommended by guide and lived up to the hype."

Reviewers consistently praise the freshness of the fish and the quality of the chips, making it a top choice for fish and chips in Wellington.

"This is my go-to for Fish and Chips, so this review covers many visits. In my view this is the best FnC in Wellington, always fresh fish and the chips are decent. Occasionally a little oily, especially when it’s busy (ie most of the time) but always good"

"Popped in last minute before closing but still received a friendly welcome and freshly cooked fish and chips. Great fish, good value."

"So much great-looking fresh fish! And such tasty fish and chips! You can ask for chicken salt or garlic salt on your order, too. Oh, and donuts made to order and hot!"

"Had 1 chips and 3 fish and 1 Paua fritter for lunch. Fish&chips still the best in Wellington. But paua fritter is too salty."
