You can choose to have your fish beer battered, panko crumbed, tempura battered, gluten-free battered or grilled and you can have hand cut Agria chips,crinkle cut chips, beer battered chips, kumara chips or curly fries. There are several house salads and sides on offer or you can select something from their burger/sandwich menu. We opted to have grilled tarakihi and trevally, hand cut Agria chips and a coleslaw. It was delicious, beautifully cooked and presented and quite reasonably priced too.

I decided to go here based on the fact that it's the number 1 ranked fish and chips spot in…read moreAuckland on Yelp. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this establishment is a smaller one, and not a fine dining restaurant. Since it's a bit smaller, you can see the food being cooked for you behind the counter. I love the fact they you can choose to have a heavier version of F&C with a grilled fish or seared and baked with veggies. I wish I could give it a 4.5/4.75 starts only because there doesn't seem to be a restroom for customers(would rather my hands not smell like fish) and you have to pay $1-2 for condiments. I fearsomely feel like ketchup or tartar(at least ONE) condiment should be complimentary, but I'm not going to dock a star because I'm a little cheap. Overall, the fish is fresh and delicious, the fries are crunchy and golden. My heart's content.

Good quality fish but the chips weren't that great, tasted and looked like they had been recooked - all a little wrinkled and dry. Will give it another go.

The size was all over the map, some where so large they tasted more like baked potato, some were smaller than a coin. Next time we will have crinkle cut. Service was friendly and welcoming. The shop is cute and easy to find.

Good pineapple rings :-). It is over the road from the beach and the massive island bay park and playground with a fenced area for the kids. Not expensive but as good as the gourmet places as far as the fish goes I think. They have got busier lately as word has perhaps got out so ring ahead or just head down with the kids and hang while you wait. Dairy next door to buy some ice blocks for desert. Love it

I'd get those instead of regular fries (chips). The fish fillets are large and one will feed most people. Half order of chips was decent. I could have gone for a little more of both.

Light and airy batter, with a crumbed option on offer if you prefer, coats the lovely fresh fish. The chips as crispy as could be.

We walked in to Cockles since they had a patio to eat on and it was the most beautiful day. The menu was extremely limited (maybe 5 items to eat), but we found out that it was the first week the new owners had it. They said they had some changes coming and didn't want to roll out a whole menu ASAP. They wanted to perfect it and make changes to make the place theirs. The wife and son were very friendly and welcoming. I had the blue cod fish and chips and it was probably some of the best fish & chips I have ever had! I was extremely impressed. They had a decent beer selection, too. I am excited for this couple to see what they do with this place, especially if the fish and chips were that good! (By the looks of the new menu now- it looks amazing!)

We had been wanting to eat here over the last two days but it was closed. So bows our chance! We tried the Kuey Teow Thng (fish ball noodle soup) and roti canai with chicken curry kapitan. Both were very tasty! It was nice to have soup on this cold and blistery morning. But we could not help trying the Teh Tarik Ais. No doubt cold for a regular cold day in Welly! It was worth it! I'd certainly recommend coming here as the food was authentic and the service great!
