Went to Gibbo's Fresh Fish takeaway shop. They have their own fishing boat that supplies their two…read morestores (this one and another on the wharf). They mainly sell fish and chips but will also grill the fish instead for just 50 cents more. Their kumara chips are very good and not very greasy. They also have a vast selection of other seafood such as various uncooked fish, oysters, and some smoked fish, fritters, marinated mussels, shrimp, scallops, etc. They also have some non-seafood items in the menu. Good seafood, good prices. You order and pay and are given a number which they call when your order is ready.

This is, in fact, the best fish and chip on the planet, and I say that after many baskets at recommended UK locales. At Bobby's the fish is a glorious golden fried, light but tasty, perfectly flaky and delicious slice of heaven. An ample helping of chips comes alongside and the whole ensemble parties in your mouth for NZ$6.

I was in Rotorua looking for some good fish and chips. I was browsing on Google Maps and Koutu Fish…read moreShop came up so I decided to give it a go. This is a hole in a wall place in a residential area. The fishes were fresh and was well seasoned. The fries were crispy and really tasty too! I'm not local so I was taken aback when I turned up and saw it was a Chinese food takeaway with fish and chips. I thought maybe they're good at making Chinese food and they just decided to have fish and chips to appeal to a wider audience. Apparently Chinese food+fish and chips shops are common according to my Kiwi friends. A few days later we ate at a proper sit down restaurant in Auckland that had fish and chips that cost way more, and it wasn't as tasty as what I had at Koutu Fish Shop. I'm coming here again if I'm ever in Rotorua. It's nothing like what we have in the states, especially how Kiwis package the meal in butcher paper.

This is more like a 3.5 star. I visited this mom and pop fish and chips/Chinese takeout joint when…read moreI was staying in the area. It is nothing fancy but they are efficient. I had their fish and chips, deep fried mussels, oysters and scallops. The batter is a bit too thick over the fish but they fish and oysters were not overdone. The mussels were a tad chewy and the scallops were bigger and more moist at another shop in the coromandel region. They also incorporate herbs into their batter mix. Overall, I wouldn't go out of my way to try it but it is decent when in the area.

Since they changed hands we hadn't been back until today when we decided to give them a try. Well we ordered Tarakihi fish (x4) and 2 very big scoops of chips which came to about $22. We didn't wait long for it, paid and drove about 10 minutes back home. When we unwrapped and plated up, the fish still had all the coating on, it was a thinner coating but crunchy and tasty. The fish was fresh, perfectly cooked and delicious, the chips were not greasy. We'll be back again! They now have different package choices for families, that are inexpensive and plentiful! For example...2 fish and a scoop of chips for around $10, plenty for two people...etc.

We both had literally just one bite of every dish and threw the rest in the trash as soon as possible! It was a total waste because the cost was very expensive, but we couldn't eat another bite. It was absolute garbage! I see from the other reviews that the fish and chips got good ratings. I guess we should have tried that instead of the Chinese food but since the workers there were Chinese, we thought the Chinese food would be at least edible. Boy were we wrong!

The scallops were moist on the inside with a light crisp batter on the outside. The snapper was also flaky and moist with that amazing crisp batter. The fries were subpar and unfortunately there was no American style ketchup to go with them. I would have liked a little more salt on the French fries and cut a little thinner as well. It was a little mind boggling that a Chinese restaurant would have such good fish and chips, and I am so glad we decided to put our biases aside to try it!

I'm not…read moresure if the location on Yelp is accurate since it doesn't show on their website, but this is where I ate when I was in Rotorua. Burger Fuel is a burger chain in New Zealand with 1 store in Sydney and some in the Middle East. They try their best to offer "healthier" and fresher burgers. And yes, their burgers are pretty tasty. This burger joint is modernly decorated and bright inside. There's plenty of seating for a large or small group. If you're not a burger person, they have plenty of sides from sweet potato fries and milkshakes, even with soy milk! I chose a Vegan V-Dub sandwich: Pumpkin, carrot, chickpea and ginger pattie, beetroot, salad, relish and an aioli sauce. Yum!!! I love me a good veggie burger. I washed it all down with a dairy free caramel mylk-shake. Sigh, I wish the US had more burger places like Burger Fuel, though I know food tastes better outside of the US because of all the additives and crap they put in our food. I guess I will have to satiate my burger craving by trying to re-create BF's V-Dub. Do you think they'll give me the recipe?!

I'd say it's a big step up from fast food but not as fancy (or as expensive) as the "gourmet" burger. I wanted to try a chicken burger but their options were super limited and they all came with bacon. The point was to go with just chicken for my meat. But oh well. After we put in our order we noticed a sign on the table advertising what looked like the limited edition burger which sounded amazing: chicken breast with creamed corn and melted cheese. Yum!! I ran up to the counter right away and asked to change my order but our burgers were already being made. Which I guess is a good thing when your food is prepared right away. Plus we were pretty hungry so we decided just to eat our original orders. The burgers were great. We ordered the Bio Fuel which basically was all about the fried egg. I highly recommend this burger especially because it was delicious!
