Erik's Fish and Chips

We ordered the hoki fish, potato scallops and calamari. The fish was crispy and flavoursome and a decent serving size. The potato scallops were also crispy and fresh, a little oily but also they are deep fried. The calamari looked amazing, however we personally didn't eat it/ like it and found it bland but very well could just be the type of calamari that comes from the area. Cute little eating area, very friendly staff. Thank you.

Tasted fresh for a near closing time purchase. Came here to do a takeaway to eat at the waterfront park. It was near closing time and the staff was still pretty friendly and took our orders. Ordered a family meal and a kids meal and a fried kiwi. The chips were fresh and the hoki was a very big piece and tasted fresh. The batter was crispy too. Children devoured the chips in a short while and even the fussy child liked the fish. The fried kiwi was very mushy but sweet. I will think this item on the menu will need an acquired taste. A family meal and a child’s meal will be very much sufficient for a family unless the family has very big eaters. The fries are a very big portion. It’s easier to takeaway to eat at the waterfront vs sitting in the trailer which seemed rather claustrophobic.

A quick Google search for Fish & Chips recommend Erik's first - and I'm glad it did! I ordered the meal deal with handmade chips and scallops. Everything was fried to absolute perfection. The chips were slightly on the oily side, but nothing dipping them in sauce won't fix. The portions are very generous for the price. Would definitely recommend Erik's to anybody looking for a delicious meal and a quick bite.

The best fully gluten free fish and chip shop I’ve come across in NZ. Lovely to sit in the tables or to walk down and sit by the lakefront. The home style chips were a bit oily, but the regular chips were delicious. We will be back!

Cute little shop in downtown Queenstown. This is an affordable place to eat, which is a little difficult to find in the CBD of Queenstown. The homemade chips are. So good. Thick and friend perfectly. The fish was battered to a crispy perfection without drying out the fillets. I recommend adding the curry sauce as the side. They even have a program for to encourage reading for children. Kids can sign up to get a free meal if they read so many books.

Thanks very much guys!! As everything is gluten free, this is one of the few places I can eat at without worries. The staff were helpful and nice, and the food came quickly. These guys offer everything you could want deep fried - from fish and chips to desserts! They have meal deals, spring rolls and even novelty items like deep fried kiwi fruit.

Delicious fish and chips. Fish and calamari we ordered was fresh and chips were great. Batter on the fish was crispy and not greasy at all. Would have been made better with a wedge of lemon. Convenient tables available next to the chippy.

We ordered and paid for premium blue cod fish, bluff oysters and homemade chips. Most of the chips appeared to have been cooked twice and were full of fat. Those that weren’t , were cold. The oysters were incredibly small, it was hard to believe they were bluff oysters and at $4.50 each , they certainly were underwhelming. The blue cod was definitely not the best though at least it was edible. I highly recommend choosing another venue for your fish and chips.

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.
