Mount Fish & Chips is a fish and chip shop on Maunganui Road in Mount Maunganui, Tauranga, rated 4.3 from 523 Google reviews, with online ordering through its website. Customers single out the light, crisp batter and staff who care about the fish they serve.
The mark of good fish and chips is a thin batter that crisps around the fillet rather than smothering it, letting the flavour of fresh fish come through. Everything is cooked to order, so a short wait at busy times is normal, and a good shop will tell you roughly how long. It pays to ask what came in fresh — around the Bay of Plenty that often means snapper — and potato fritters are the classic extra. Many regulars go easy on the vinegar so the fish can speak for itself.
For fresh snapper, oysters and careful frying at the Mount, this Maunganui Road shop is where locals point you.
