Opunake Fish, Chips & More

Top choice in Taranaki & Whanganui


This is as good as fish and chips gets. With a lengthy history (since the 1960s), hand-cut chips, a range of fish (including fresh catches of the day to take home), smiling staff and big burgers, one meal here and you'll instantly feel part of the Opunake community. A very chipper fish-and-chipper!
