Raglan Fish

​We had a lovely lunch sitting outside on a beautiful day—the view here is absolutely spectacular! Nothing beats seafood with a nice view! The undisputed star of the show was the deep-fried flounder. It is incredible value for money as they serve the entire fish; it was exceptionally fresh with silky, flakey meat. If you’re a fan of oysters, the deep-fried ones were large and juicy (though they offer fresh ones too). ​A few things to note for a better experience: we did wait over 30 minutes for our food. While the quality made it worth the wait, the kitchen speed could definitely be improved. We also found the tarakihi to be quite average compared to the stellar flounder. Lastly, the number of flies around the outdoor seating was a bit of a distraction—some citronella candles or fans would go a long way. Overall, a great spot for fresh fish with a view! Will visit again for sure.

Really busy on the the evening we tried to purchase fish and chips. Nominal closing time was 7 pm, but it was well after this that we got our order of chips and various preparations of gurnard. The meal was good, though tempered by the fact that it took 30 mins to order and 90 minutes to prepare. Price of going somewhere that is overly popular I guess

18:10 ordered, 19:25 got the food. Staff didn’t give a heads up about the long wait. Not worth the wait for the above-average food, not to mention it’s a “take away “. Environment: flies were hovering on the sticky tables, stinky smell from “phone order” section of the kitchen. If you after the best fish n chips around waikato, think again.

Really tasty and great location. Kind of pricey but that's because the portions are huge - wasn't able to finish a half scoop of Kumara chips and 1 fish between 2 people! The queues can get quite long so best to order ahead.

Delicious fish and chips! The food is freshly made and deep fried. The staff members are happy and eve gave us extra sauces! My only complaint is that the chips were slightly soggy, maybe because they weren’t that busy that day so it was left out a little bit. But it still tasted good regardless. Anyways, Raglan Fish is a must visit if you are around ⭐️

If you come to Raglan, you must must must have Fish n chips in the most classic kiwi style at the Best Fish n Chips place in the world. And that's big from me, as I was brought up in and around Leigh, which also has an amazing fisheries culture. But just doesn't have a place like Raglan Fish

It was a very busy day despite the rain. Customers come and go. Not sure if we also paid for the beautiful view of the harbor because it’s a bit pricey. Hehe. Service wise, it was a looong 35min wait for our food, only to find out that it’s only fish and there’s no chips. Lol. Well, they usually go together so we assumed we’re getting fish and chips. Like 3 small orders of fish and chips for that price. Hahaha. We’re new in the area. It would have been a better experience if someone from the counter told us that it should be ordered separately. We each got one and a half small battered fish for the amount of around $14 per person. We left the place still hungry and ended up eating again in a nearby restaurant.

Really good crumbed tarakihi and kumara chips. Also had the grilled snapper which was so fresh and tender. Cool old fashion styled place in a great location.

Came here for some simple fish and chips and a quick dinner. Space by the water is nice, and protected even when it's blowing a gale. Fish was fresh and the grilled option was very nice with the lemon. However the chips were kind of limp, and the tomato sauce on offer wasn't that good (and you have to pay extra to get sauce). Overall, decent but not a destination in itself.

Super fresh fish and chips. A basic menu, but you know it's really fresh when the Fishmonger is preparing the fish at the counter, and there is a fisherman tending the lines right up front on the dock. The snapper was tender and nicely complemented by the fresh lemon wedge and the Kumara fries ($12NZ). There is a one dollar up charge for the Kumara fries, compared to the regular chips, but totally worth it. Two types of sauce are available, tartar sauce and a tomato based sauce (Ie ketchup). It was nice to sit on the patio and see the harbour area, including watching the sea gulls and a seal splash in the waves.

Great place to eat fish and chips. Bring your own condiments minus malt vinegar. The tartar sauce was missing something, that was $1. The tomato sauce was not ketchup, that was a $1. They had two specials on th board dory and red cod, $11 for two pieces of fish and regular chips. It was a tempura like batter, it was light. Mine came with extra fried bits from prior orders. The chips were fresh cut from what I could tell. Unsalted, so add your own. The red cod was great. It was moist and flakey. The batter was falling off in places. But it was hot and fresh. The price was awesome. We were happy to find a more than reasonable priced meal, and it was good. There was staff behind the counter on the right filleting fish.

Have eaten here a few times but this time it was the worst. Fish was dry and so thin that the crumbed part was pretty much 90% of the meal and it was certainly not made to order. The chips were way to salty - so much so we could not eat them. It is boxing day and they were crowded but they should bring on more people to make sure the quality remains high. Very disappointing.
