The lemon salt they sprinkle on the crispy battered fish is Devine. It's just a shame that you gotta pay for vinegar at a fish and chip shop.

I love fish and chips, and since I heard NZ was famous for them, I was eager to try somewhere! I'm…read moresure there must be fish and chips closer to home, but sadly, if there are they aren't on Yelp yet, so I decided to go for a bit of a walk to the Ancient Mariner. I was a bit surprised to discover there was minimal seating indoors, although I'm not really sure why, since I've not dined in at many fish shops. The seating was small shippy-things (I'm a bit of a landlubber, so am not sure of their technical term) around large barrels. They were quite uncomfortable to sit on, but since we didn't want to walk all the way home with cold fish, sit on them we did. My husband and I shared two pieces of snapper and chips, with some malt vinegar. And oh god, it was delicious. The fish was amazing - fleshy and white and great flavour, and the batter was the perfect thickness and seasoned with lemon pepper (I think). Chips were chunky and crunchy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. I'll definitely be back here - even if I have to perch on an uncomfortable piece of ship furniture to do so!

I figured that New Zealand would have amazing seafood because of its location. But, I was not expecting it to be this good. They basically have some of the best fish and chips I've ever had in my life. It's fresh, perfectly seasoned and absolutely delicious. And it's located near one of the prettiest parks I've ever seen. I highly recommend taking your order there to enjoy an incredible meal, Kiwi style.

The local Parnellites know all about it though and it packs out on Friday/Saturday night. It's simply of the best fish and chip shops in Auckland - the fish and chips are quite dry and not the greasy shit you get in some takeaways. I always go for the snapper and the fish is good quality as is the batter. I often think the secret of good fish and chips is the batter and they get it bang on in this place. They also sell takeaway shellfish and you can get a little pot of fresh mussels to go with your fish and chips. I think the fish in chips in New Zealand is far better than you get in the UK and this is one of the best places to find it.

With vegan and gluten feee options, this was a great spot for lunch. We tried their tacos for lunch and I have to say it was one of the best vegan and gluten free tacos ever hands down! The tortilla was soft yet crispy with a beet hummus done to perfection with every texture imaginable from crispy chickpeas to the beet chips and the softness from the hummus and slight spiciness. The dish when plated looks like it belongs in an upscale Michelin style restaurant. This place packs a ton of flavor! We also shared their hand cut fries which were large and satisfying. They have the feel of potato skins with the crunchy exterior and a soft and supple interior and the taste is unbelievably satisfying when dipped into the spicy aioli that accompanies it or just plain ketchup if that's your jam. The chicken tacos were also pretty dense and crunchy and fried to perfection. The sauce is sweet and tangy and makes for a filling lunch! This place is a must try for sure! Service is also superb and everything comes up in a timely fashion and fast! Staff is very aware of dietary restrictions which is very helpful!

It has truly been here at the top of Parnell Road (just opposite the entrance to the park) for ages. The gourmet burgers are fantastic, I had fish burger, which was cooked to perfection, not sloppy in the slightest and the bread was fresh with just the right amount of salad in there. My partner had the battered fish and it was amazing. It reminded me of the type you'd get in proper "Chippies" at the seaside back home in the UK. However, I just wish the chips they served were fatter and fluffier on the inside rather than those thin ones that have more than a passing resemblance to frozen oven chips from the supermarket. I was really impressed by the service in the place too. As it was Friday night when we visited, it was fairly busy but the food was still with us in very quick time and given to us with a smile.

Both fish and the kumara chips were crispy and really tasty. There is a couple of chairs with one table outside, other than that, no other sitting areas.

I would say the fried rice is probably my favourite dish from here and close behind that is their lemon chicken. All of my friends rave about their lemon chicken after they had it at my house one time. They are great with taking phone orders too, I have always received everything I ordered with no mistakes. It's so local for me which is great, and when it comes time to pick up there are plenty of free parks on the street outside. I often get one right outside the door which sounds lazy but when you are ordering take aways you are obviously feeling very lazy right? I think this shop is family run as I often see their kids serving at the counter and I do like to support them by choosing to order my take-aways from here, but it is the taste and quality of their food that keeps me coming back.

Charging the usual prices and serving the usual food for an Auckland fish and chip shop - fish, hotdogs, potato fritters, nuggets and chips, as well as a range of Chinese food, Bilbo's could be just another takeaway store, except it's not. What sets it apart as a complete winner in my book is its opening hours. Bilbo's is one of the only takeaway stores in Mt Eden that is open late. Really late. Bilbo's is where you head at the end of your night out. My friends and I used to taxi straight to Bilbo's from our after-balls and big nights in town, grab some hot chips and nuggets and eat them on the walk home. Classic. The staff are pretty friendly at ol Bilbo's too - I imagine by being open so late they see their fair share of craziness, yet they manage to keep a smile on their face and provide very fast service. Good food, fast food, friendly staff, opne late = two thumbs up from me!
