If you're going for dinner, get there before 6 p.m. and watch the line of people coming in for a hot meal.

My family and I were looking for a restaurant in Dunedin and found Fish Hook. We ordered their cod…read morefish. Although it was fresh, the portion was very small. This may not be your choice of Fish and Chips unless you don't mind small servings. Staff was friendly, though. The restaurant faces a church with beautiful architecture.

Recommended as the place to stop-in for fresh seafood while visiting Dunedin, my brother and I were…read moreable to get fish'n'chips for carryout. It was good. We came in during the later afternoon. One of the guides at the cruise terminal had recommended that Bluff oysters were in season, and the best place to get it was a restaurant near the town center: Best Cafe. So we took the shuttle into town from the cruise port (about a 25 minute ride), and immediately searched out the cafe. The inside is airy with a good arrangement of tables. A sign clearly indicated that they were out of oysters (and mussels) for the day, which I have to admit was really disappointing. But the fish fry was recommended as well, so decided to try that. There were open tables, but the constraint was how much fish they could deep fry at one time, so were told a 25 minute wait. They do have a separate door for carryout, so decided to do that instead. We placed and paid for our order, was quoted a time similar to the dine-in wait time (since the fish still had to be cooked). It was ready exactly at the time quoted, and was still piping hot and oily as we ate it walking down the sidewalk while going to the next stop. Blue Cod fillet (NZ$12 for two fillets), elephant fish (NZ$8.50 for one fillet) - Fries cooked in beef tallow (NZ$4.50). All of it was served together, and it was really well fried. The fries were great. The fish was good: the batter was light and really accentuated the large portions of fresh fish used. It was first time eating elephant fish, and it was ok...very firm, not oily at all. The blue cod is really a good fish for fish'n'chips, and is something I would get again for a fish fry. Squid Rings (1/2 dozen for NZ$9) - they were large and definitely fresh. The same batter as the fish was used, and wasn't as successful on the slippery squid, especially for on-the-go. Next time, we will come earlier to try the recommended oysters and different fishes offered and try it dine-in.

Such a friendly owner. We came in right as they were closing without realizing their hours. Not…read moreonly did what I believe was the owner allow us to come, she also came to greet us at the end to make sure our food was good. Unfortunately, they were out of a lot of their menu items so we were limited in what options there were. However, despite that, the food was still tasty. I can't say this is the best fish and chips I've had, but it was still very solid. Both the sole and blue cod were great, though I did prefer the blue cod more. They also had a fried pineapple which reminded me of a sugared donut outside but pineapple inside which was an interesting try (wouldn't say amazing but unique) Inside look like what you'd expect from a family owned shop. There's nothing special inside, but given how friendly they are I would definitely come here for good food and friendly staff.

Mac's might not be the most impressive beer by craft beer enthusiast standards, but it's an easy crowd pleaser so there's that. I'd definitely do it again.

Almost all the traditional dim sum dishes were top tier. The only exception was the lotus wrapped sticky rice (lo mai gai). The rice was wayyyy overcooked and hard so that it wasn't even sticky anymore. Everything else was great. The inside is a typical dim sum feel without anything special or bad. The service was decent. We also tried venison which was cooked well. Overall a fairly priced mall dim sum spot that I would recommend and is a great spot to get your dim sum fix.
