Highly recommended! Tonight’s meal of battered snapper and chips was unquestionably the finest we have eaten in a long long time. Well done Lilian and Thomas!
I love this place. The food is delicious and the staff are awesome. The only problem is I have to drive past on a daily basis to work and it is just too tempting.
Fish is really fresh, fried onion good, squid awesome and the fries fried just as Good.
Fantastic quality juicy fresh fish.. Such a great bloke too with a passion for life.. Thank you so much :)
Fantastic fish and chips, so fresh and yummy! And the onion rings and spring rolls were delicious too. Definitely going back, I can see this becoming our favorite spot for fish n chips night
Lovely fresh fish, crispy batter & chips!
Best fish and chips I've had in Auckland yet!
Snapper is superb! Super juicy! Love it!
Delicious chips!! Soft, thick and not oily
Went along on advice of others, had the fish and chips and hotdog to try. didnt think much of hot dog, but the fish was very good, and chips were too. not far from my house so will go back again. Service was friendly and good
Our meal of battered snapper and chips was, without question, the finest fish and chip meal we’ve eaten in a long, long time. Thomas knows his craft - the snapper was deliciously moist and the chips far too ‘more-ish’! Highly recommended, Harvey J Brunt!
I love this place, the best fish and chips and service ever! The fish is always fresh, the batter is crispy and the chips cooked to perfection. I cannot recommend this place enough.
Fresh food, good service and great value for money. This is the best local fish and chip shop I've found in ten years of living in Auckland.
Friends who live nearby say this is the best fish & chips they've tried. Although I've had better from Oceanz at Wynyard Qtr, this place is pretty good for a local. The fish is fresh & chips well cooked. You can see why they get so much repeat business. Great place to pick up dinner & head down the road to Cornwall Park with the family to eat it. Quite reasonably priced too.
I only bought chips from here, I wanted fish and scallops but they were a bit too pricey. The chips were pricey as well, but I didn't want to leave the shop empty handed. So I ended up buying $10.00 chips and I gotta say, their chips are mighty damn fine.
Service is pretty ordinary nothing good, nothing bad. Just like any other takeaway shop around. Just that 'hello' and 'what would like to order?'
The place is quite small and crowded with everything around inside. I ended up waiting outside for my order, but didn't really care. It was hot inside anyways, kinda enjoyed the outdoor breeze.
I think it is ok for what you get. I like it but it's not my first place to go to for fish and chips. They serve a good, crispy battered fish; not oily. The chip servings are a little meagre as you order more for larger groups; if you order for one or two people adequate chips given; large groups of five or more, the chips are not equal in portions and often someone misses out or everyone only has very small serving of chips. But the service is good, polite and courteous, and the owners are always smiling and pleasant. The fish is always good.
Oh my god! It's really good, I don't like eat fish but the fish here is really good, but I think everyone should eat it as soon as possible.
Love fish and chips from here. Can order over the phone and pick up. Staff are very friendly. Menu is simple but that makes it easy. It may be a bit pricier than usual, but the quality is worth it.

These lovely people make the most beautiful fish & chips. I recommend them to you because they are Masters @ their Trade! Enjoy! 😃Arohanui Chiko (Master Painter)
heard alot about this place as it is located at a buzy junction and seen on Campbell Live one nite. Their specialty is the way their chips are fried to perfection to be the best and is nice, healthy and chunky indeed, I reckon it taste nicer if wrapped in newspaper like the NZ Herald. Menu is limited to this technique and special fish/chip shop.
Special fish meal with two fish and some chips for $ 9.90 The owners were very friendly and tidy. To be honest, maybe it was not the best fish and chips, but I was really glad to grab a meal from them.
I love Greenwoods Fresh Catch as I find the Fish and Chips ALWAYS to be fresh, hot and "scrummy"!!! The chips in particular are well cooked and not at all oily or greasy. Recently I tried the scallops and they were so juicy - mouth watering!! I will definitely be ordering those again.
The service is exceptional as well. I have recommended to all my friends living through out Auckland to try these Fish and Chips and they have all raved about them. I know of a family who travels quite a way to come to this shop!
I regularly come here to get my Fish and Chips because I know that I get my monies worth.
Iconic fish and chip place tending to be on a pricier side of things, but absolutely worth trying at least once. I grew up visiting this place many times and apart from atherosclerosis, it has a little place in my heart.

This is another of my favourite fish and chip places. They have won awards for the best chips and I have to agree they are good. I got my usual, battered snapper and one serve of chips, both which were very generous servings, in fact I couldn't actually finish it all there was so much.
Couldn't fault this fish and chip shop it was the bomb diggidy. I'm allergic to fish so got a hot dog and spring roll. I LOVE when a hot dog actually has a proper sausage and not one of those shitty red frankfurters. The chips were the best I've had in ages. Not too fatty and perfectly crunchy. My partner had a bone in his fish but meh at least he can eat fish!! It looked delicious and I was pretty jel I couldn't try it. Customer service was brilliant and the shop is very bright, colourful and vibrant. Best fush & chups near Epsom!
Crunchy fish and chips. Quite nice. Must try the fish. The tempura is nice too.very small take away place. Only open 3 hours a day. The boss is nice and friendly too.
We tried this place for the first time last night and it was easily the best fish and chips I have tasted. The snapper I had was a generous size and sooooo fresh with a perfect cooked batter. the chips were extremely generous fresh tasting and beautifully cooked.
What also impressed me was the immaculate presentation of the food and the premises. We live 50 km away but would definitely drop in for another sample next time up in this area. Other fish and chip shops need to experience the superb good quality food being served here....
Well done guys.
There is a relatively substantial amount of local hype encompassing Greenwoods Fresh Catch, and I am happy to say that it was favourably verified in my opinion. The fish and chips were adequately prepared and tasted great. Even the head cook was dressed appropriately for the occasion. It was relatively costly, but that will be understandable if the location of the business is considered. In addition, the portion sizes were quite proportional anyway.
1st time being here today but have heard of the place ages ago. The old Chinese chef is quite famous as this place is award winning fish n chip shop. Order meal of the day which has 2 fish and 1 chip In it. Cost $9.9. Fish was well prepared and fied not too oily just the way it should be. Chips are nice and crispy. Enjoyed it. Will definitely come back.
Fish and chips are often overrated.. Greasy, heavy batter etc so while we heard this place was meant to be amazing, we were cautious. Very glad to report that the meal was excellent.
Fish was very generous and cooked perfectly. We got the crumbed terakihi, and it was crispy and golden. And definitely not greasy. Chips were nice and crisp on the outside, soft in the middle.
It's not the cheapest place out there ($25.50 for 3 fish and 2 scoops of chips) but worth it.
Greenwoods Fresh Catch is almost certainly uncontested as the best fish and chips in Auckland, wether you want food that is fresh and healthy or tasty and comforting you will find that both are possible here.
On top of this it is both affordable and often comes with more than you order. You won't dare to try another fish and chip shop again.
That's a fabulous treat. Love visiting again and again. Such a spicy potato with super delicious fish. Can't express in words. Simply yummy. I liked so much.
I can see why this place has won awards, the fish and chips are fantasic. Not too greasy and cooked perfectly. I dont live in the area anymore but drive out of my way to go here
Great Fish & Chip Shop, they use light oil which is not too heavy. Recommended!
I absolutely love this little takeaway joint! From the quality of their food, the effort they put into their packaging and the friendly owners. You cannot go wrong with their fish & chips! It delivers what it promises for sure. My favourite would have to be the snapper! You have not tried good fish & chips until you have tried this one, even if you may have to travel a bit for it.
The only thing I'd say is that it's a bit pricy compared to a few other fish & chip shops, but it is absolutely worth it for the quality of their food. Woof!
The owner chef here has been in the fishnchips arena for 25+years and really has perfected the art. The fish is always super fresh and cooked to order so is juicy and tender. And the crumb crust we usually order is light and crisp The chips are excellent - cooked frozen so as not to absorb too much oil ( they use canola) they're crisp and light. Food is served in cardboard trays as chef says newspaper makes the food go soggy , though that also depends on how long after packaging the food gets eaten as a couple of times it was a little limp. Haven't tried the burgers yet but watching their preparation they look good too. Prices are are a little higher than runofthemill places, but I think it's worth it
Ordered from Greenwoods Fresh Catch again this evening (this is our third order from there as it's quite close by). We ordered the squid rings, kumara chips, potato chips and snapper. Pricing is a bit higher than I would expect for good ol' fush n chups but not at Mt Eden Fish Shop standards. The serving sizes were good, plenty of foos for two very hungry adults and a greedy toddler. The squid rings were delightfully tender, the chips were crispy and fluffy (and not oily at all) and the snapper was fresh with just the right amount of batter. They were spot on with getting our order ready (just a touch under the 10 mins quoted). Obviously a lot of thought in the packaging, as it stops the chips going soggy on the trip home. Definitely recommend!
Pro's - Crispy, tasty deep fried fare, without an abundance of grease and friendly operators.
Con's - Slightly higher up the "food chain" in terms of pricing but I suppose you get what you pay for.
If you’re looking for delicious Fnc look no further! We had order 2 and managed to swap out sausages for a spring roll. It was about $21 for 2x fish, 2x potato fritters, 1x scoop or chips, 1x spring roll and 2x canned drinks. Excellent deal for what we got! All super fresh and crunchy. Fish melted in your mouth. We will be back 😊
Different owners since I've been here. Remember all the awards this place use to get (John Campbell was good m8s with the previous owners 😂).
Had the fish burger with grilled gurnard (grilled is extra $). Very nice & so we're the chips.
Grilling should not be extra as it doesn't require any batter👇.
Pretty chuffed to be able to call this fine establishment my local. Great service and the food is always hot and fresh. Thanks team!

Previous owners have moved on. Current owners are lovely. Meal tasted good; I'd return again.
My mom and I had only been in Auckland for a few hours (visiting from the US) and walking outside our Airbnb when we came across this place. Owner was kind in explaining the menu and making recommendations and we both were left very impressed with the quality of food and reasonable price! Will return. The Prawn Twisters were so unique!
Great spot, the fish was delicious. The chips were tasty. The hot dog was yummy and it was all worth the money.
Some of the best fish and chips I have ever had. Glad to have amazing fish and chips in Epsom
We had snapper, kumara chips and prawn cutlets - all delicious
Reasonable price for quality of food. Quick and easy to order online
Best kumara chips I have ever had - not too soft and not too crispy, just right and perfectly seasoned
Best fish and chips we have eaten in a very long time
Very first time buying Fish and Chips from here. Soooooo impressed, fresh fish daily and everything was cooked to perfection and a little touch of extra care, a sprinkle of parsley before bagging. The new owner were very friendly and helpful. I’ll most defiantly be back.
Had an excellent Classic burger which was real tasty for $10-50. Was every bit as good as some of the gourmet Burger joints that charge up to $23 each.
Chips were spot on and all nicely packaged. Would highly recommend this place.
