The fish and chips side covers all the usual shop staples — potato fritters, crumbed and battered seafood, squid rings, oysters and mussels — plus a large range of value fish packs bundling fish, sausages, hot dogs and chips together. Salt and pepper squid, chicken and fish are also on the menu, alongside Asian-style snacks like wontons, spring rolls, dim sum and prawn twisters.

On the Chinese side, the menu runs deep, with fried rice, fu young, chow mein, fried noodles, cashew nut dishes, traditional black bean and oyster sauce dishes, dumplings, soups, steam buns and combination Chinese specials. A dedicated kids menu and combo meal deals round things out, and the shop delivers to a wide range of Taupo suburbs.

Fishy Business: Fish, Chips and a Full Chinese Menu in Taupo

Fishy Business Takeaway, on Richmond Avenue in Taupo's Richmond Heights, is a fish and chips shop that doubles as a genuine Chinese takeaway, with a menu big enough to cover almost any craving in one order. The fish and chips side sticks to the fundamentals — fresh Gurnard, Tarakihi and Snapper alongside Hoki, all deep fried to order, plus a long list of value fish packs that bundle fish with sausages, hot dogs, crab sticks and chips.

Fish, Chips and Value Packs

Beyond the classics, Fishy Business runs a large range of combo packs sized from a quick single-fish-and-sausage combo through to family-sized packs with five pieces of fish, hot dogs, potato fritters, nuggets and wontons. Chicken wing packs come in three sizes, and the Yummy Chicken — chicken thighs served with wedges, garlic chilli sauce and honey mustard — stands out as one of the shop's more distinctive offerings.

A Full Chinese Menu Too

What sets Fishy Business apart from a standard fish and chip shop is the depth of its Chinese menu. Fried rice options run from Egg and Chicken through to Seafood, Nasi Goreng and Yangzhou, while the chow mein, fried noodle and fu young sections each cover pork, chicken, beef, prawn and combination versions. There's a full traditional Chinese dishes section too, with black bean, oyster and ginger sauce preparations, plus cashew nut dishes, sweet and sour classics, and lemon or honey chicken and fish.

Dumplings, Soup and More

Rounding out the Chinese side, Fishy Business offers boiled dumplings, a range of BBQ pork and wonton soups, and steam buns including BBQ pork, Shanghai pork and custard varieties. Combination Chinese Specials bundle several dishes together — sweet and sour pork, fried rice, chop suey, roast duck and BBQ pork in varying combinations — for those wanting a broader Chinese banquet-style order.

Burgers, Toasties and Snacks

The burger range covers everything from a simple Ham Burger through to the substantial Mountain Burger and The LAKE Burger, while a toastie selection offers cheese, ham and cheese, steak, mushroom and bacon fillings. Snack options include spring rolls, curry rolls, dim sum, prawn twisters and wontons, alongside salt and pepper squid, chicken and fish.

Kids Meals and Combos

A dedicated kids menu offers four different meal combinations built around fish fingers, chicken nuggets, mini hot dogs and a kiddy burger, each served with chips. There are also straightforward combo meals pairing a burger with chips and a can of drink, for a quick, no-fuss order.
