"This local legend sells fresh fish as well as frying up arguably Tauranga's best fish and chips – you can pick a fresh fillet yourself and have it cooked up. Grab a seat at the hexagonal outdoor tables on the water’s edge, among the expectant seagulls."

"Bobby's has the freshest fish in the city. How fresh? Well, the shop is perched on a wharf, right next to where the fishing boats dock. Chances are your meal would have been swimming around that morning, and that makes for the best fish and chips in the city."

"What we all got to share was a huge platter of lightly battered snapper fillets that defeated us with its mammoth size. One thing I can confidantly say is it’s the best fish & chips I’ve had in many, many years. Aside from the freshness of the snapper, it was the light batter that assisted in its greatness."
