"A pair of food trucks squeezed into a lane between buildings – order your hoki, monkfish or blue cod from one, and eat inside the other. Ever fancied a deep-fried kiwifruit to finish your meal? You've come to the right place."

Jane Guy

"I ambled down to Earl Street (one of my favorite hidden gems in this wee town) and settled into fish and chip heaven. Kumara wedges, Hoki and deep-fried pineapple (yes!) covered in a light dusting of cinnamon and I was set. The best bit? Fried red onion chunks. Hot, sweet, delicious."

"He's traveled from Cape Reinga to Bluff trying the finest and foulest fish and chips in New Zealand. After months (and years) of essential field research, Erik took to the kitchen to create the very best version of New Zealand's beloved dish. Erik and the team cook up fresh fish and chips using as many local ingredients as possible."

"The freshest fish and chips made while you wait – how can you say no! Erik’s Fish and Chips is made from local produce and ingredients and is cooked in a funky caravan. You can take your order with you and have a picnic on the nearby beach or you can grab a seat in the little demountable building adjacent to the caravan where you’ll find condiments on all the tables."

"Quality of the food-wise, the fish is tender and juicy, wrapped in a batter that is crispy and fragrant."

"Erik’s began in Queenstown but has extended to Wanaka and is famous for the high quality of the food being produced. Rather than a shop, it’s a van selling fish and chips and while orders can be ready in 10 minutes, you can also pre-order online or via phone with delivery also an option for a fee."

"Erik serves up the traditional Kiwi favourites, like battered Blue Cod and Hoki. Hoki has a mild fish flavour, slightly oily with a finer texture that is sourced from South Island Seas. Blue Cod is a local favourite with great texture and lovely flavour. Caught in the bottom half of the South Island. The toothsome, best-in-town fish and chips."

Must Do New Zealand

"We Kiwis and our international visitors love huddling around a parcel of Fish and Chips along with other battered morsels and Erik's Fish & chips is the locals favourite place to buy them from. Erik sources the best local ingredients."
