The Ancient Mariner

Ordered two variant of fish. The batter tasted different and fragrant. Fish was nice and soft. Generous portion of fries.

My husband found Ancient Mariner on Google. The reviews made us want to try it. We walked it from the wharf and we were not disappointed! Trevor and Tina do an amazing job and the food is excellent! Lots of chips and the pieces of fish are huge! They are so friendly and personable. We will def be back and spread the word. Thank you from Arizona, Trevor and Tina! You guys rock!

The best Fish and Chips I've tried so far in Auckland. Got Battered Snapper and Crumbed fish of the day. The fish was crispy on the outside, soft on then inside. Could feel sweetness of the fish meat. The handcut chips were good too. The pepper and salt condiments deserve a mention. This perhaps is the first store where I could taste such a strong pepper! Great customer service.

Fresh and clean fish and chips at a decent price. Clean batter on the fish and oil chips are cooked in is clean too, you can taste it.

The chips are always crispy and golden and flavourful, seems to be hand cut potatoes and not just the cheap frozen ones. I really like how the batter on their fish is light and crispy/crunchy even after driving the food home! It helps they put them in ventilated boxes instead of wrapping them up in paper, making it easier to open up and serve and keeps the food from getting soggy, lots of options outside of just tarakihi and hoki for fish and the fish always taste very succulent, fresh, and flavourful without being 'fishy'.
