About Theo's Fisheries

Theo's Fisheries is a family-run fish shop, fish deli and wholesale seafood business at 82 Riccarton Road in Riccarton, Christchurch. It opened as a fish and chippery in May 1950, in a shop that had been a butchery, and the business says it has been run by the same family ever since. The shop sells fresh fish and seafood, and it also supplies Christchurch homes and businesses with wholesale seafood.

The fish is filleted, cleaned, smoked and cooked on site each day, and the shop offers traditional fish and chips. Its seafood is described as sourced daily and responsibly caught, from the far north to the deep south of New Zealand. The business has had a number of renovations over the years, most recently by the family's current owners. The website describes a shop that has been a neighbourhood fixture for generations, and it says the staff know their fish. For anyone in Riccarton who wants fish sold fresh and prepared the same day, the shop's 75 years in the same location is the main reason to visit.
