This is apparently the best fish and chip shop in the world. I do not agree. Maybe the best on Stewart Island. If they could get the orders correct, that might help. Generous chip portions do not make up for the amount of oil soaking through the paper. Overly greasy fish and chips. read more

We loved the blue cod- crispy, fresh and perfect. The chips were fresh cut and the jalapeño poppers were a bit different, melty Monterey Jack, bits of jalapeño and corn - very good. The service is fast and price is modest. Takeout or eat at the picnic tables or down by the water. read more

Wow. They it's closed but at least this season it's open as outdoor dining and takeaway. Amazing fish and chips. The blue cod is light and crunchy. Perfectly tasty and wrapped in plain paper like it should be Get the half of chips. It's a boatload. With the nice weather it's a real treat. The chips are also perfectly done. Get the aioli for $1 extra. It's well worth it. All freshly fried to order. Right in town. There are picnic benches all around. Just don't feed the birds. It's a great way to watch the day pass by as you wait for the ferry or before you go on a kayak read more

For being such a small place they manage to cook some really good food. We had the blue cod burger and the Deer burger and everyone was really happy with their meal. read more

The best blue cod fish and chips we had the whole three weeks in New Zealand by a large measure. A very small place run while we were there by a woman and a lad who appeared to be her son. The fish was quickly cooked while we waited and the chips were great. Do yourself a favor and stop while on the island. read more

It's a tiny place and the food is decent. There's only about eight seats inside if you're planning to eat here. I ordered the burger which was pretty good. They do a lot of takeaway business, which seems to be their priority. When you're inside you can watch the kitchen and get an idea of what they're making and they were turning out lots of takeaway orders before getting to people that were seated. This in combination with it being a small place means they're going to be slow (this may have also been because there seemed to be some training going on with the cook), so if you have someplace to be don't expect this to be quick. One other suggestion I have would be to have a place to hang coats and things outside in their covered area. When we were there it was pouring rain and their lot was flooded. Everyone eating inside had coats and gear that was fighting for space in the tiny trailer. The waitress asked us if we could put our stuff outside, but didn't have any suggestions on where to put it. If I ever go back to Stewart Island it wouldn't keep me from going back. read more
