The Chip Basket has a frier dedicated to gluten free foods and his chips even get cooked in there so there's no trace gluten. They dip the fish themselves in their own GF batter.

They even grill fish for you if you don't want it deep fried. The only thing I don't love is their burgers - they are pre-made ones and I'm not fond of the flavour. They're okay, just not quite at the standard as the other food I've eaten from there.

Had been planning to get to this place for ages with my girlfriend, and we finally got our act together and made our way down for a naughty unhealthy dinner and find a nice spot to enjoy it. I have to say I don't think I've had a better fish 'n' chips experience outside an actual restaurant than we did here. The fish was fresh, and the batter not stodgy and heavy, nice and light, and the healthy dose of chips made for a pant-stretchingly good meal. Definitely glad we decided to try it, and will be back again for sure.

The Takapuna Fish Shop is my go-to fishmonger - there's not many on the shore but I've always found…read morethe fish fresh and the price right. However, after my takeaways tonight, i'm not as sold on their fish and chips. Sure they're cheap and it's conveniently located 5mins walk from a beach but I found their fish to be dry (overcooked?) and the batter stodgy. On the plus side the chips where well salted and crunchy, and the owner is always so lovely - very chippa, with a smile on his dial. Whilst T.F.S will continue to be my fishmonger of choice, with sooo many fish and chips shops to try, I think i'll go elsewhere to indulge in this kiwi classic in the future.

We sat inside at one of the two little plastic tables and enjoyed. This is very basic - no napkins, no condiments given (except some lemon), and a faint smell of fish in the air. But the fish is really good!

For this reason I find Gulf Takeaways to be a tease - you can see the Hauraki Gulf from the top of East Coast Road, but the closest beach is still five minutes away by car. But all that's a slight inconvenience in the face of this place being my favourite fish and chip shop on the North Shore. It's got a big gaudy sign on the outside with 'best fish and chips in town' written on it, and it aint lying. Your best bet is crumbed snapper - it aint greasies in the traditional sense - it's not all that oily, and it's always tasty as! Also because it's on an arterial road rather than in a town centre the wait time isn't as bad as the more popular places.

This place is a regular for me (they're literally just up the road from where I'm currently…read morestaying), and over time I've sampled the better part of the menu. It's a bit difficult to give an overall rating, as I have varying opinions on their different dishes. But on the whole I feel they deserve a solid 4 stars. We're currently going through a fried-rice phase, so that's dinner at least several times per week. They do a good job of it, generous portion sizes and succulent cuts of meat, particularly the chicken. I do find some of their fried-rice options a tad bland (easily remedied with a dollop of soy sauce, which we always have on hand), but their curry and satay options have more flavour to them. When I'm planning to eat with my dad, as I often do, I opt for the Singapore noodles, which are his favourite. They're very tasty, I find. As for their 'standard' noodles, they're also flavoursome, and certainly very filling, though a little too much so for my liking. They're quite heavy and 'gloopy'. Be prepared for a food-coma if you overindulge! But the flavours are certainly there. It's a good, hearty dish for the wintertime, though I feel I'll be giving it a miss in the coming months as it's just too heavy for a summer meal. We also occasionally opt for their fried options (fish and chips, et cetera), which are fine, well executed, nothing to write home about either way. I tried their sweet and sour pork a couple of times, and came away underwhelmed, which was disappointing as this tends to be my favoured option at places like this. It was decidedly more 'sour' than 'sweet,' with an unpleasant 'tang' to it. And... no rice!! I would think it'd be standard for s/s dishes to come with rice, as they're sorely in need of something to 'cut' their rich flavour. Other places I frequent all provide rice as a matter of course with s/s options. Service is always pleasant enough, somewhat matter-of-factly but then this place is always bustling and certainly doesn't need to pander to customers.

I order usually three pieces of Tarakihi or Snapper, with five dollars worth of chips and that is sufficient enough for a meal for four. Fish servings are large, however over the years the chip servings have become smaller, so I buy five dollars worth which once was three dollars, but that's no worry. A great bonus also about this fish and chip shop, there is also Chinese food on the menu and other treats such as hot dogs on a stick, chicken bites, and grilled sandwiches. If you must indulge with a deep fried Mars bar, lots to offer and always enjoyed.

As far as fish and chips go they are reasonably satisfying, the burgers are large, and a scoop of chips is actually a scoop of chips.
