"Unassuming shop serving the best fish and chips ever. Don't be deceived by the looks of a convenience shop. Ordered the 3x blue cod and portions were large, fish was fresh. Big sign at the top says that is under new management but they have had it for over 2.5 years already. Lovely owners who are passionate about what they do"

"The best tower burger I've had in the Dunedin area thus far. Combo fish fillet and chicken nuggets with a scoop of chips is definitely a feast and not too spendy. Also sell toys and treats for kids, ice cream and desserts for kids and kids at heart, and a few medical stuff (i.e. paracetamol, band aids, vicks vapor rub, etc.). Might need to wait though because of how popular and busy this place gets, but if you call ahead, the staff are super friendly and accommodating, and will start your order while you're on your way to the store. Definitely one of the best shops that we come back to every now and then."

"So stopped here, saw it was closing close to our arrival time, so ordered via Uber eats for pick up. So glad we did. Fish was fresh, jumbo sausage was very jumbo as was the portion of chips. Came with plenty of condiments too. Very satisfying. Recommend if in the area."

"One of the best fish and chip stores in Dunedin got the 12.50 combo and did not disappoint - fish was fresh and crunchy, not that oily and chips were lovely too, would recommend. Comes with 2 T sauce and aoli dip in the combo, don't have to buy extra. Would recommend if there are multiple people just get one chips cause they are very generous. Only 5 drive from the beach or St Kilda for a place to eat. I Only negative is not really about the store but smokers on the outdoor seating, not sure if there was a smokefree sign but its not a pleasant smell"
