Must visit this little gem, amazing food, great atmosphere and best hosts. Not mentioning that you have a view on the farm where your food comes from, it's just breathtaking
There’s a bit of magic here, the team are wonderful, oysters are the fresh and tasty - while you eat you can see the farm and people working on the farm - it’s both a great Kai/feed and a cool experience.
Not only will we stop here when we are nearby, we might even do a trip from Auckland just for a Kai - easily worth it.
We had the number 2 meal, and should have grabbed a few oysters to take home, lesson for the next trip.
I have been visiting this place for over 40 years now, I never pass by without calling in to get a feed, the pawn cutlets are to die for, and no need to mention the oysters 😋 it goes without saying, always friendly staff on, service with a smile, small local business that's deserving of your money, there is a nice seating area right on the waters edge which is a good spot to have a kai.
Nice fish n chip shop. There are few benches outside. They offer fresh/ fried oysters and paua fritters. Fish choices are normally snapper or hoki. Other than seafood, there are burgers, hotdogs, chicken nuggets etc. prices are reasonable, maybe around $10-$12 per person and it’s much better than $23 fish n chips from a cafe.
Delicious fish n chips, so fresh. Mussels were yum and a decent size. Raw fish was sold out. I would definitely go back there, but next time earlier in the day to sample their full range
stopped here for lunch today. there is a space to park a truck if you're coming from the east coast side.
they didn't have any oysters due to it being spawning season, but I got fish, chips, crab stick and a cheeseburger. cost around $16.
the fish was okay, being hoki which was all that was available, it was fresh, not too greasy and the batter was okay.
the chips were beer battered steak cut and very nice.
the cheeseburger was one of the best takeaway cheeseburgers I've had in a while. it wasn't too expensive, seven bucks or so, but it was delicious, nice and simple, the bun fresh, good sauce, patty cooked perfectly, plenty of real cheese, and it came with lettuce, tomato and grated carrots. I'm a big fan of carrots on burgers! only thing that would make the burger better is a slice or two of beetroot!
the kid serving seemed a bit grumpy but he had manners.
the order took about 10 minutes to receive.
there are plenty of tables to eat on down by the water, and a public toilet to use.
all in all, I it was good fish n chips and ill be back again.

Amazing Oysters. They also do taks away food. Suggest to stop in if your travelling through Ohope. They based in Wainui just outside of Ohope
Good fees of fish n chips here at Ohiwa Oyster farm. Their batter is golden and crispy and the times I've gone for snapper, it's been fresh as! 2 battered snapper and 1/2 dozen oysters I my go to. Well recommended.
My favorite fish and chip shop in NZ. I always make sure to visit whenever I'm in the area.
Cute little side of the road setup.
The chips and burgers are good quality and a decent price.
The facilities (bathroom and tables) aren't the best, but you go for the food not for fine dining.
The view of the estuary is nice and there are plenty of stingrays that swim up and down the water as well.
Make sure you have sunblock and a hat on a sunny day as there is only one table under the tree.
If you enjoy fish and chips and are in the area, this is a definite must visit.
Two of us split the number 5 meal for lunch- not a bad value at $18 for a fish, a mussel, a crab stick, 5 oysters, 3 prawn horns, salad and chips. Chips were nothing to write home about but the seafood was all good, and I love how they dressed the salad. Cute roadside stop with fairly quick service. We even saw a weka sneaking around.
Heard so many fabulous comments on how delicious the fish & chips were from here & told totally worth the drive for them..so I guess my expectations were already on high alert, hence my dissapointed in my first visit to Ohiwa oyster farm 😕
They probably had a busy day & that was why they had run out of mussels and all varieties of fish except for hoki(not a type I like).
The fries/chips in my opinion needed more salt, perhaps we caught them on a bad day.
On scenic side, view gorgeous & we even got to see a stingray swimming around.
On second visit..... I'd still prefer more salt on the fish & chips, were good better this time for me, but the scenery as you can see, SOOOO beautiful 💖 the stingrays were plentiful 2day, we saw about 6. Definitely worth a visit & stop 😀
Such an awesome trip in our beautiful back yard great hosts, history korero, Kai was sooo yummy and so nice to have it back in Maori ownership creating amazing opportunities for our people and excited to see the future plans come to life.
My husband was talking about stopping in for some Ohiwa oysters all the way from Auckland! It is such a lovely little spot to stop for a rest and some yummy food. Oysters, scallops and crunchy chips were on the menu for my husband, which he really enjoyed. There were many cars stopping on the day we visited, it is incredibly popular and there may be a wait for your meal if extra busy. Will definitely call in again!
Such delicious kai and beautiful harbour views. I had the crumbed fish and ceviche... it was so fresh and perfectly cooked. Really friendly staff, thanks!
Gorgeous spot for fresh, tasty kai moana
Hands down best takeaways we have picked up in a long time. Highly recommend a visit 👌
