Erik's Fish and Chips

Amazing fish and chips spot that’s fully gluten free as well! My partner is coeliac so it was great for us to enjoy anything we wanted on the menu. We tried to the fried monkfish with chips and some calamari and it was so good! Very crispy batter and chips, good portions and very friendly staff too.

Fish and fried kiwi were worth the wait! The home made extra crispy chips were not worth the price. 4 starts because everything else was amazing and the fact it is gluten free too. Limited places to sit but good atmosphere.

Soooo good. Best fish and chips in Queenstown and very affordable. Why wait in a queue a mile long for a burger with a strange name when you can have the hottest and crispiest fish and chips. We were able to secure a table and sat down and enjoyed a lovely meal. Ordered the meal deal but added $2.50 for medium chips. NZ$17.50 was a bargain. We will be back.

Great tasting and fresh fish! Love the monk fish and of course the blue cod. So tender and so tasty. There is an indoor sitting area so you can dine in!

Purchased a meal deal, upgrading it to Monk fish. Portion size of the fish piece was quite small, in relation to the fries, which is an additional charge. Even the tomato sauce was an additional charge. All of it came to NZD 18. Average taste. Service took about 15 minutes after placing the order. Ok food if you are absolutely craving this cuisine.

We love Erik’s! Amazing fish and chips and everything just happens to be gluten free and safe for celiacs (just don’t use the malt vinegar on the table if you are celiac). We especially loved the Hoki, Erik’s Homemade Fries, the potato spiral, and the fried kiwi and pineapple! Plus you can go sit by the lake with your amazing food - a Queenstown must!

Nice gluten free fish and chips. Reasonably priced. And it is celiac safe. You can eat while looking at the beautiful ocean in front of you on a sunny day. The hoki fish was my favourite.

Casual spot, basically a food cart. Really good fish and chips! I tried the hoki and blue cod and they were both super fresh and delicious. Service was also really fast!

Loved their Fish and Chips! We tried everything - from the Cod to the Calamari - each was flaky and crisp and flavorful. Delicious! HIGHLY recommend.

One of the things I really wanted to have while traveling to New Zealand was fish and chips because of the strong British influence. There actually wasn't an abundance of choices as I thought, and the best option was Erik's Fish and Chips located in the Queenstown Mall, near Queenstown Bay Beach. This is a small food shack with outdoor and indoor seating that also has a restroom. Order at the counter, pick up, and sit wherever you want. What brought me here was the selection of different fishes (hoki, monk, and blue cod), and even different type of chips (regular, Erik's homemade, and Kumara). There's also other seafood selections, fried vegetable and dessert items, and chicken tenders. I ordered the Fish and Chips Meal Deal. There's a lot of upgrade options, and sauces cost money too! Yes, it is priced for tourists! The price of the fish are PER piece, which is about 120 grams, and all sourced from the South Island. The Fried Monk Fish was good. Moist, tender, meaty, flaky with a mild sweetness. Erik's Homemade Chips were good. A bit too much salt for me, but the chips were really crispy and soft inside. Keeping the skin made it better! Added a Blue Cod. This was similar to the monk fish, but more tender, delicate, flaky, and sweet. Both fishes were not seasoned, so be sure to sprinkle some chicken salt with a splash of vinegar. The way it was battered was messy and uneven, so you don't get the full crispiness. Overall, the fish and chips were good. No, it's not the same as in England, but it's New Zealand's version, and definitely acceptable. Yes, it's pricey, but that's just being in the heart of Queenstown. The fish were prepared well, fresh, and does not have that frozen taste. The staff there were very friendly and nice. I'd order from here again.

Located in a food truck like structure. Very good fish and chips. Came out hot and crispy. There are a few tables inside and some picnic tables outside. Service was good. You order at the window and they'll call your number when food is ready.

I was on a walkabout in Qtown near the end of April 2024. The fried Blue Cod tasted OK. Nothing special. 15 NZD for the DINKY portion in the picture. POOR VALUE for the money. LONG wait for my order, but there were only 2 employees. I had higher expectations based upon the YELP reviews. I walked away DISAPPOINTED. Walk up counter service only, order and wait. Picnic tables out back. No restrooms.

I'll be back in an hour hahaha it's that good.! Food here it's outstanding! I love this place!

Rated as the top f & c in Queenstown, chips were dried out and shriveled, asked for lemon and chicken salt, both were missing even after checking before we left with it takeaway. Fish was good, calamari was over battered. Nothing on f & c in Australia I'm sorry to say. Wildly disappointing.

Delicious fish and definitely go for the home style chips. Very friendly service also. Thanks!

You can order and pay online and set the time then go in for pick up! Highly recommended! Definitely upgrade and go for the blue cod. You can't go wrong. The fish is so good and very meaty. My son's "kids fish and chips" barely had fish, mostly breading. I forgot all the pricing, but see pictures for pricing, sorry some got cut off by the light. The location is tucked away in a little shopping area. When we went at night, almost everything was closed so it's very easy to miss. If you're coming from the heart of the town along the water, turn left by Bottswana Butchery. It's behind that area.

Delicious fish and great service! Perfect for a quick bite. Fish was perfectly fried.

Fish was a tad bland, and the fried cauliflower and onions were super oily. I would pass on this

I had to come here after all the great reviews and it was not a disappointment! The fish was served hot and crispy - delicious with vinegar! I wanted more! Free parking for visitors

I absolutely love this place! First, make sure to order for takeaway. Then grab your tasty lunch when your number is called and head over to the lake for scenic views. The lunch special here is $10 for fish, chips, and a drink. Batter was light and not too greasy. Fish was meaty and good. Instead of regular chips, I upgraded to kumara chips for $4 more. They are massive and filling. You're with someone else, I suggest one person upgrading and the other person getting regular chips, and then sharing! This place definitely hit the spot on my lunch stopover to Queenstown. A wonderful meal that is just the right amount of food for the right price.

This place serves some of the best fish and chips I've ever had in my life. We had several meals here during our stay in Queenstown. I recommend the blue cod and chips with a side of aioli. The fish is juicy and mild, and the batter is crisp and light. I also suggest getting the cauliflower bites, which were absolutely delicious. The portions are massive and enough to share. Everything is freshly made. They have a small dining area that is enclosed. Most people place orders to go, but we opted to eat there and each time we did we left satiated and happy.

My wife and I visited Erik's Fish & Chips for a quick dinner on a recent trip to Queenstown. We ordered the Hoki and Blue Cod with a side of Erik's Homemade Chips. The fish was flakey and meaty with a crisp breading. The chips were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside and paired with a sweet creamy aioli for dipping. These were some of the best fish and chips I have had and a must try when in Queenstown.

So Good. Across the street from the Novotel so that was super convenient for us. It was also raining but all good because they have a separate trailer for dining. Now THESE are fish and chips. Everything is cooked to order. The batter is tasty. Even the kids meals are larger than expected. We ordered the $10 meal and a kids meal to split. I'm a fan of the Hoki which came with the $10 meal because its not as fishy in taste. My husband enjoyed the Dory which definitely was a lot more fish tasting. I wish we could've ordered more--- like the oysters or poutine -- but this was plenty to fill us! Definitely go here if you are in Queenstown!

Yes it really is excellent. Pipping hot and lots of options. I ordered the Dory fish. It is the middle priced fish option and is cheaper than the cod. It was fresh and delicious. Had it with fried cauliflower instead of chips. Very good but not outstanding. I really should not eat fries (chips) and these were a nice alternative. Price and service were very good. Much less expensive than some of the sit down restaurants. Limited outside seating. Recommended.

Friendly and efficient service. Reasonable prices Great food! Try the Cod and spring rolls! Don't miss the mushy peas!

Great fish n' chips in Queenstown near the lake! It's a nice little corner between shops & service was very friendly, took about 15 minutes for the $10 deal (hoki and small fries). They have salt and vinegar on the side, and a couple tables to sit and eat.

4 stars for me. Solidly good fish and chips with a nice breading and crunch. Had I not eaten at Correlli's fish and chips in Devonport a few days earlier (hint: their breading is fantastic) and this may be near the tops for all the various fish and chip places I tried in New Zealand. Liked that they have a variety of fish types and are located across from the Novotel where I was staying.

No ambiance but great food at a good price. It's a "food cart" set up but with a small indoor adjacent room with tables. If the weather is nice most patrons take their food to the lakeside park only a few steps away. We ordered blue cod and chunky fries. With two sodas added, cost was $30. If we had ordered the cheaper fish cost would have been only $20. They don't cook your food until you order so it was hot and crispy.

What? I walked up at 8:40. Nobody was there but I was turned away saying they had closed everything. Why say you are open until 9 if you are going to turn people away at 8:40?

Best fish and chips that I had in all of NZ. Anna and her staff were wonderful too. I preferred the aioli over the sweet pepper sauce but both were good. I tried the hoki and dory but not the halibut. Both great! Battered perfect on each of three occasions. I also really, really enjoyed the calamari.

We didn't get a chance to actually eat the fish and chips. We found a deal on the desserts which some were okay and others were Great. We were already so full by the time we made it here. But the food did smell awesome and we wanted to have some. Next time we are in Queenstown we will stop for the full meal.

Easy fast and reasonable fish and chips. Several different types of Fish to choose from. All lightly fried golden crispy. Great sides as well including mushy peas potatoes spirals curry cheese and chips. Also very unique desserts with deep fried kiwi fruit and pineapple rings. BYOK. Bring your own ketchup otherwise they will charge you.

Erik's Fish & Chips was amazing!! My husband (whose name is also Erik!) and I ate a lot of Fish & Chips while in New Zealand and this was our favorite. While this is a food truck restaurant, an ambience was created through the use of fake grass and cute, round tables. We enjoyed sitting outside, eating our food. The deep fried kiwi was a new, delicious find that I highly recommend! Definitely going to find this place again when we next visit Queenstown.

Good, fast and tasty. Perfect for a snack or a meal.
