The standout feature at Two Little Fish is undoubtedly the quality of the fish. Freshly hand-filleted daily, the Gurnard fillets are a must-try, showcasing the dedication to serving only the best. Many patrons rave about the perfectly cooked and seasoned chips, which are fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside, striking the right balance without excessive grease. The generous portion sizes leave diners feeling satisfied without stretching their budget.
On top of that, the friendly staff contribute to a warm and inviting atmosphere, consistently receiving praise for their efficient service. The convenience of takeaway and a solid kids' menu also makes it an appealing choice for families on the go.
Most Disliked
While Two Little Fish has won the hearts of many, some diners mention the challenge of placing phone orders during peak hours due to high demand. It’s wise to expect longer wait times, especially on busy Friday evenings when the crowd reaches full capacity. Also, although the atmosphere is lively, the busy environment can sometimes lead to noise levels that make conversation difficult. Some patrons wish for more diverse dining options beyond fish and chips, feeling limited by the primarily seafood-focused menu.
Lastly, while reservations are accepted, it's advisable to plan ahead as the wait times can extend, particularly in the evenings.

We ordered fish & chips last Saturday. We were very impressed how the fish & chips were cooked. The chips were nicely drained & the Gurnard fillets were perfectly cooked. And they also gave us an extra piece of fish.

Embarking on a delectable takeaway adventure with Two Little Fish unveils a dedication to cleanliness and freshness evident in their hand-filleted crumbed hoki fish—an emblem of Kiwi culinary excellence. This flavourful delight is presented in paper, boasting a burst of flavor and an absence of the typical oil smell, emphasising the establishment's unwavering commitment to quality. Accompanying this culinary marvel is a generously portioned burger, elevating the takeaway experience beyond the ordinary. What distinguishes Two Little Fish is not only the size of their offerings but also the meticulous attention to detail in hand-filleting their fish, with the daily Gurnard fish reaching top-notch levels of premium quality. The efficiency and friendliness of the staff further enhance the overall experience, positioning Two Little Fish as a standout in the realm of takeaway fish and chips. Operating within a limited timeframe from 4.30 pm to 7.30 pm daily adds an exclusive touch, ensuring that each order reflects the pinnacle of freshness. The bustling atmosphere, evident by the line extending out the door, attests to the popularity of this establishment. Keep in mind that attempting to place a phone order can be challenging due to high demand, so plan your takeaway adventure wisely before the 7.30 pm cutoff—an oversight made only once. In the realm of New Zealand's fish and chips, Two Little Fish stands tall as a beacon of authenticity, excellence, and handcrafted quality. This culinary gem is a noteworthy addition to the list of top-notch Kiwi takeaways, promising a takeaway journey that encapsulates the spirit of the Kiwi's beloved dish, complemented by the unmistakable expertise of hand filleting.

Stopped by here on Monday evening and had a great experience. Super friendly staff and an extensive menu for a chippy. I had some scallops, oysters, a pāua patty and some chips. Loved all of it. Chips were cooked perfectly and the portion size was great. Best fish and chips I’ve had in ages. My partner was also very impressed by the vegetarian burger so extra points for that as it’s really hard to find good vegetarian options at chippies.
