I love this place! Super fresh seafood, yummy fish and chips and amazing staff who know a lot about seafood :)
I had the gurnard and chips with some calamari rings and everything was delicious. . The gurnard and calamari were so fresh and the chips were crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. It wasn't too oily and the batter was thin and crispy. The staff in the shop were also really friendly.
We have had the Snapper fish n chips combo with salad , it was perfectly batter fried, the fish was perfectly cooked and was soft and delicious. The combo for one has enough quantity and make you feel fuller.

Battered Mussels need less time as they cook so fast! Apart from that nice fish and chips !! Its what you want when looking for a fish and chip shop. Price is obviously relevant to Auckland so what more do you expect.. Nice staff, clean place. would go again
Im gonna give it a 5 even though the mussels needed a minute less the fish is AMAZING its fresh as and super tasty and cooked perfect!!!!! And I know fish alright..
Loved this cute little Fish & chips store! it is pricey from your average f&c eateries but it's definitely worth it, their raw fish was so delicious, all the herbs and flavors was perfect :) Can never go wrong with quality food... Yummmmmm
It's a small fish shop that offers a fairly good range of fish and chips. Always tried beer battered snapper and chips or crumbed snapper and chips. I've also tried Kumara chips which taste like frozen chips. Fish tastes average, bigger portions. Service OK.
Love this place. Been coming here for many years and the fish and chips are consistently great. Also one of the cleanest Fish and Chip shops around.
They have a whole range of fish for sale and also specialty house smoked salmons etc.
I would say the chips aren't the best and have potential to be a lot better
Came here a while back following a loss to one of the local rugby teams during the season. Lost just by 2 points, anyways grabbed some good ol' $5 chips and 6 Scallops. Despite it being a winter at that time, it sure reminded me of the summer where all the great memories of the sunny days came to be. The chips were nicely done and fresh, bot too greasy and the scallops? Well I can't argue, the damn best scallops there are.
The people there were really kind and friendly, despite it being a takeaway shop you would get the ordinary greeting. The waiting time was usual, just like any other takeaway shop.
Inside they also have a display of fresh fish for sale. So whenever you want to get some of the real deal, this is the place to be. It's got the original layout of any takeaway store, for example the main thematic colour is white with a little dining area outside which makes it a plus.
Amazing smoked salmon, a must try! Also really nice smoked fish cakes. Really friendly staff and clean store. Can always count on them to have fresh seafood too.
Really amazing fish and chips! The fish is always very fresh and lightly battered. The chips are easily some of the best in Auckland. The serving sizes and reasonable considering the price but you certainly get what you pay for compared to slightly cheaper Chinese fish and chip shops.
It was not the first time to be there. I really enjoy their deep fried snapper fish even it is selling at $ 8.70. Not a friendly price but very reasonable. Fresh, juicy inside and crispy skin outside. Also friendly staff and clean store.
Have our Friday night fish and chips from here quite often. Quality of the fish is excellent, nicely cooked with just the right amount of batter. Not the cheapest meal but would rather pay a bit more and actually get some fish and not a huge lump of batter as in some establishments. Service is a little erratic, we always order ahead and sometimes hard to understand over the phone, occasionally our order is wrong but we consider this the best option in Mt Eden.
I come here once in awhile for fish and chips and what keeps me coming back is definitely the fish they use. They claim to have the freshest fish in Auckland and there's no doubt that the claim is true. The chips are also quite enjoyable, crisp, thick and lightly salted.
You get what you pay for. The prices are somewhat higher but in return, you get excellent quality food that is perfectly cooked. The wait isn't too long either. There are a couple of seats inside if you need them. It's our local, and luckily for us, the best.
Excellent fish and chips. Slight disappointment is a lack of seasoning on the fish and chips. Salt sachets are given though but its not quite the same.
a bit pricey but the food is nice.. the smoked salmon always hits the spot and the chips ever so yummy.. usually grab the fish of the day and even had the basket last time.. the oyster was quite good .. hard for parking however as on main road by lights
We have been oversea for last two years and this place still serves the best food as I remembered! Exactly same! Best place for real deal smoking salmon also love their fish chips!! Best 20$ you can possible get! You won't disappointing believe me!

Delicious. Need to ask for well done chips though, as they are a bit conservative with cooking time.
Fish is always as it should.
The place is spotless, super hygiene.
Tuna to die for.
Prices OK.
One of my favourites, I always pop in when I am around.
I like the fish and chips wrapped up newspaper it was enjoyable so enjoyable we did struggle to get to the end love it and would I return? that's a Brian jonson...Yes,yes,yes...@apples24.
Brought 3 huge fish heads snapper and some chip there you go...fish n chips going to enjoy very much
Fisherman basket of value
I like seafood they serve here
Don't know what to make of smoked fish samosas (benefit of the doubt given, and maybe I will purchase one day)
Happy to see smoked roe, one of the most delicious things on our earth
0.5 stars under 5 because I had already read the magazines available, and the tartare sauce was a little heavy on the capers (plz mind the cap)
Been here a few times now, absolutely worth it. They put lemon in with your order, it's fresh ingredients, cooked just right, friendly service, even have a cool loyalty card (sugar card), they have salt and pepper sachets to help yourself:), it's a little bit more in price than the normal Asian fish n chip shop but so worth it !:) and of course they have extras like fresh fish to buy and smoked salmon :) yummmy! I don't think they are open too late sometimes? Guess they have to sleep lol:) I'm going there for lunch now!:)
This is my regular fish shop. I usually order the terakihi but regardless of what fish, or the fish cakes, it has always been fresh and cooked well.
The fish always looks fresh in the display cabinet.
The batter is usually pretty good. I try and avoid the peak times as they do get really busy. But they seem well organized behind the counter.
The staff are very pleasant and obliging.
Ive been going here since i remember, and still LOVE IT!
I'm not sure about the below comments, but i have realised since the change of owners the menu has more variety and also the prices are cheaper!! which is a plus.
The staff are always friendly and the fish and chips never disappoints.
We haven't been here for a few weeks, but the fish and chips here are still yummy! The fish is fresh, the batter is crispy and golden, and the chips are crispy outside with plenty of potato inside.
At other shops I never eat the batter as it is usually thick & stodgy, but at this shop I eat the lot. I've found the staff friendly and helpful, and you can get free forks, tomatoe sauce and vinegar.
The shop we used to go too doesn't hold a candle to the fish and chips here, so this is the only place I get fish and chips. .
To ensure your takeaways are at their best make sure you eat them within ASAP. We go down to the park to eat ours. Leaving any takeaways wrapped up for longer than about 5-10 mins means the heat builds up moisture inside the wrapping.
They also sell fresh and smoked fish, and we've tried their smoked salmon fish cakes and they're yummy too.
We purchased fish & chips from here on Monday, Auckland Anniversary day and they were so good we went back the next day for another lot as we were in the area. The fish was fresh & moist, and the batter thin, crispy & tasty. The slices of lemon were a bonus. An overseas visitor with us on Monday said it was the best fish & chips she'd ever tasted and she is over particular about any fish she eats.
This was my best fish and chips experience ever! My friends and I ordered snapper and chips for takeaway, and even after driving it home and serving it about 20 minutes later, it was absolutely delicious! The batter was thin, it was not too greasy (despite being deep fried!), and the chips were wonderful. We devoured our meal, and I can't wait to go back again.
The staff were also very friendly - I'm sorry others have had not so positive experiences. I'm wondering if someone is trying to blackball this restaurant in favour of others in the city. I urge anyone that hasn't tried this place to go see and taste for yourself!
Very shocked to see these other reviews as I have always had positive experiences at this Fish Shop.
I always find the girls working there very pleasant and helpful as they seem to have an eye for different cooking techniques for the fresh fish.
I have been going there for around 5 years now and nothing much has changed, I see the new owner now has a variety of fish on display which is always fresh and I think they smoke their own fish on sight! He is also very friendly.
I think there was a bit of a fall in the quality of fish and chips at the beginning of the year but they are back to usual, delicious crispy fresh fish and chips - I will never go anywhere else.
The food is amazing!!!!
I have been eating here for about 3 years now, and every year it gets better!
Since the new owners have come this place is still the same! With their best fish and chips. The staff are friendly the fish is as fresh as it gets.
I always recommend this place to my friends and family and i still do, it's the fish and chips shop in the town that is the best!!
You just need to go in and try it out!!
It wont let you down! it's the best!
The Best. Ever.
It's pricey, but you get what you pay for. Golden chips, beer batter, and the freshest, freshest fish.
It's a fish shop that doesn't smell like fish - it's that clean.
Take a date there, and watch the sunset with a beer and Mt. Eden Village fish and chips from the top of the mountain.
Perfect
Delicious fish to be had here as it's fresh and excellently cooked. It's renowned as one of the best fish and chips in Auckland and for good reason. While the price might not be as low as your local fish and chip takeaway on the corner, that's because the fish it uses is far superior. I find a lot of takeaways overdo the fish and they look kind of burnt and are a bit soft. What I love about the fish and chips here is that the fish outsides are merely golden and still crisp and the chips are chunky. There isn't as much oil on your hands at the end either, which is a testament to their skills, and also good news since too much oil is bad for health. They serve it with a wedge of lemon for optimal taste. You can sit in the store and people watch or take it somewhere else to eat. If you're a student, there's even a special for you if you show your ID, which is great for after school snacks or afternoon tea. All in all, excellent fish and chips! Highly recommend for a premium experience.
The Mount Eden Village Fish Shop might be a little pricy - but you're paying that premium for the some of the best fish and chips in Auckland. According to a study by Campbell LIve, this place has the freshest fish in Auckland. Whether you believe that or not, you can definitely taste the difference.
I invariably go for the beer battered snapper, but I've heard their burgers are really good too. Their beer batter is excellent and makes for some really delicious (and not so greasy) fried fish. Pair the fish with a scoop of kumara chips and you will definitely be coming back for more!
Came here and ordered Fish and Chips (FOD option only $10!!) and a side of Calamari (6 pieces).
Service was friendly and average pace (waited under 10 minutes). The amount you get for the $10 F&C deal is awesome. We shared the Calamari and the F&C between two people and it was definitely enough. Fish from the counter looks fresh and they also sell housemade fish patés , salads and pies (which I am yet to try). Teeny tiny minus for the price of the sauces because all they provide is complementary malt vinegar. E.g. Watties Chutney would be an extra $3.
Would definitely come back ☺
Great fish and chips, they were hot, fresh and delicious, what a great shop. The batter on the fish and the crispy chips, and the prices were great.

Outstanding fish and chips. We placed a phone order for a seafood basket (snapper, prawns, calamari, chips, with aoli) It was ready in 15 minutes. Absolutely delicious. Crunchy batter and crispy chips. Price very reasonable : just over $36 for two people. Will definitely be back.
I am writing this review based on 3 aspects.
Price, Food, Service
Price: For a fresh fish store in Mt eden it is reasonably priced. However for what it is id say its relatively on the higher side. But you do pay for quality and that is what you recieve quality!
Food: Ive tried the Snapper, Battered Mussels and Chips - fish was excellent id reccomend the fish. The chips arent as crispy as youd like them to be but they do taste nice. The battered mussels are quite small. I am not sure where you possibly found mussels of that size but they where quite small.
Service: service for the store is to be expected of a fish and chip store.
Would I come back again! I would come back for the fish! That was the highlight of the visit for me.
Its a nice clean establishment and is well maintained. Everything is displayed in front of you, so you do see what you are getting which is always a bonus.
I had a fish burger and chips. Great fish burger and great crispy chips. Some reviews complain about the price. I have thrown up from supermarket fish that was clearly not great and fresh. I rather pay a bit more for good quality, fresh fish!! Thanks - I will be coming back!!
The most wonderful fish and chips
Fantastic service wounderfull staff and extremely polite very clean . A+++ would recommend to anyone wanting to get the perfect fish and chips and all sorts of other ranged fish ☺️☺️☺️
All reviews from me are on my website in process of being uploaded ( review me.co.nz ) thanks guys
Mt Eden Village Fish Shop always supply me with beautiful fish. Super fresh and their smoked salmon has a terrific flavour to it. Never disappoints!
This is a fantastic fish shop. The fish is fresh & treated with care. Great fish & chips. There is passion in what they do. If in Mt Eden definitely try this place for your fish.
Nice fish and really good chips. The people running the place are really nice and it doesn't feel like your usual fish and chips shop
Fish is always nice and fresh with thin batter. Kumara chip are great. Really friendly customer service.
Iconic historic fish shop. Excellent service. Fresh, smoked and expertly cooked fish and seafood. Takeaway or eat there.
