"Bought some fresh snapper to the shop, the guy served the snapper in well packed paper and greeted me politely. The snapper was fresh and tasty and I would love to go back. Only thing I would add is the snapper is kinda expensive but its my first to buy snapper in Whanganui so not sure if its expensive on this location... but definitely fresh and good taste!"

"Awesome clean shop. The fish is always fresh and the takeaways are so delicious. A little bit dearer than your corner fish and chip shop, but the quality superceded our expectations. This is and has been my local fish and chip shop for quite some time now."

"Beautiful fish, flaky, white, thick fillets, with a creamy texture and a mild flavour. Entry (screen door) a bit unclear for someone unfamiliar with the store. I struggled to find a way in as did a potential customer before me (she gave up). Staff nice but exchange brief. Not engaging at all. Clean premises"

"I brought the seafood plater and was a little unsure of the price at first, once at home and unwrapping it, I was hit with the beautiful smell of clean(oil), fresh seafood and very filling so was well worth it. Now it's my new fortnightly dinner for myself while the kids have boring pizza."
