Highbury Fisheries: Classic Fish and Chips in Birkenhead

Located along Mokoia Road in Birkenhead, Highbury Fisheries has long served the local North Shore community with traditional New Zealand fish and chips and hearty takeaway bites. In an era where takeaway options are increasingly complicated, this suburban fish and chip shop keeps the focus squarely on the classics: crisp golden batter, piping hot chips, savoury fritters, and stacked burgers prepared fresh to order.

Whether dropping by after work or collecting dinner for the household, Highbury Fisheries offers a straightforward, familiar takeaway experience that hits the spot for North Shore locals.

The Seafood and Golden Fryer Favourites

At the core of the menu is an extensive deep-fried selection anchored by standard battered fish and premium snapper fillets. Cooked to produce a light, crunchy shell while keeping the fish inside moist and flaky, the fillets pair naturally with scoops of traditional potato chips or sweeter kumara chips.

Beyond basic fillets, the seafood lineup highlights familiar Kiwi favourites. Customers can add battered oysters, scallops, mussels, crabsticks, and tender squid rings to their parcel. Fritter lovers are particularly well catered for, with a lineup that includes savoury corn fritters, classic potato fritters, and seafood staples like mussel fritters and traditional paua fritters. For those with a sweet tooth, dessert fritters such as battered pineapple rings, donut fritters, and whole battered bananas provide a nostalgic finish.

Burgers, Toasts, and Easy Takeaway Pickup

For diners looking beyond seafood parcels, Highbury Fisheries cooks up an array of satisfying hot options. The burger menu features standard takeaways like hamburgers and cheeseburgers alongside bacon, egg, Hawaiian, and fish burgers, rounded out by a hearty Special Burger for bigger appetites and a vegetarian burger option. Quick comfort comes in the form of toasted sandwiches, featuring classic fillings such as ham, cheese, bacon, and egg.

Ordering is streamlined through an online pickup system that allows patrons to choose their pickup time and pay ahead securely online. Operating Monday through Saturday with extended hours until 8:00 pm on Friday nights, Highbury Fisheries remains a dependable, no-fuss dinner destination in Birkenhead.
