FishSmith Herne Bay — Restaurant in Waitematā

This is defz a lil gem n I lurrrrrrv the Red hotdogs, it's a Wellington thang 🥰, the fish is amazing with a crunchy batter, not too thick either, I tried their Indian patty and I would defz get that again, the chips were great the first time we got them however the 2nd time around not as great as the first time however could be coz we got there towards closing time. Burgers were a hit with my famz, I'm based on the Shore n this is defz our new spot for fishNChips. Good size portions, batter is enough n crunchy. It's defz a bit pricey however defz worth it. We usually go to several different fishNchips places for chips, fish, Patty's etc however this spot is a 8/10 from my famz only coz we haven't tried everything from the menu ... yet 😉😁✌️. Defz try them out...

I finally got to try this place after reading about it in the news. Being one of the best places for Fish and Chips in Auckland. Yeah, a couple of years too late...Thank you Covid. I reckon it lived up to its billing as being one of the best. Chips are excellent and the fish portions were huge. Yes it is expensive compared to your standard takeaway shop, but I can understand why. I went with the fish of the day as a starting point. The battered fish was oily, but it wasn't overly oily to the point where it made the batter soggy. The chips were seasoned perfectly. I enjoyed every bite of it and I will definitely be back to try the other types of fish on offer. Highly recommended if you haven't tried it before. Look past the price and enjoy the food. Support local....

Over the last 4 years I come here once every couple of months and always enjoyed their fresh snapper and chips. Today was a different experience, soggy and very oily mushy chips that tasted frozen rather than their fresh Agria potatoes and a VERY over cooked snapper that was dry (certainly not fresh) with really thick stale batter. I ordered online and the prices have increased quite a bit and I was also charged a surcharge which never used to happen, very disappointing given the decrease in quality. I didn’t eat much of it, although what I did eat has left me feeling pretty sick :( Unless the quality increases, I won’t be...
