About The Fisherman’s Shop

A family-run fish and chip shop and fresh fish market at 140 Taradale Road in Pirimai, Napier. The website says the owner is a local fisherman with more than 30 years of fishing in the Kahungunu waters, and that the team fillets fish caught in the Bay. The shop has a Fresh Fish Market Chippery and an iced cabinet where whole fresh fish can be bought. Family feast packs, dinner-for-two options and kids packs are offered. The fish on offer each day depends on the weather and the catch, according to the website. The business has a second Chippery on Hastings Street, Napier.

Customers mention fish and chips most often, along with flounder, snapper and crispy batter. One customer says the snapper was perfect, with a thin batter that suited it. Another enjoyed the blue hoki, gurnard and blue nose with chips, and says the fish was juicy and fresh and the chips hot and crisp. A third says the fish is very fresh, the prices are reasonable and the portions are good, and that the owner and staff are friendly. Customers describe the service as great.
