The scoops of chips are tiny. $10 worth of chips was just enough to go with our steak and salad for 3 people. Scoop of chips is $3.50. I asked for $5 worth. I had to order another $5 scoop to cover 3 people.

Take out blue cod at its best. Its been a long time since I have had Fishnchips from here. However the blue cod is as good as it ever was, nice piece size, flakey and white, and well hung. Chips crispy and a generous portion. One of only a few fishnchip shops open Sunday lunch.

Blue Cod
Fish was greasy, chips were tasteless, needed a good dose of salt and tomato sauce to give some flavour. If this is the best in Invercargil then stay home and make toasties.

Blue Cod
The family got $6 chips with $4 garlic butter on top, was an absolute joke. Very small portion of chips with little to no garlic butter not for $4. Fish was extremely greasy.

Let's be honest, I could tell you about the boring old decor or whether the customer service is friendly and welcoming. But that's not what you want to know.
You want to know if the chips taste good, if the portions are big and if you are getting good bang for your buck.
I don't branch out when I buy fish 'n chips, so I have no idea how many options the menu has.
Pictured you see my standard 1 scoop, 2 potato fritters, 1 piece of fish order. Yes it's a lot I know, but my fiancée isn't marry me for my body - she's marrying me for my sense of humour.
I find myself always coming back to the herbert st takeaways. The portions aren't the biggest I've found else where, but the chips sure are some of the best. They aren't too greasy, and they aren't too salty. My potato fritters are always a little salty but that is just how I like it.
The blue cod here is incredible. If you are visiting invercargill you have to make sure you try the local blue cod at least once while you are here! Blue Cod is always more expensive then Hoki (pictured), but it tastes far better.1
Blue cod is cooked to perfection. I'm not keen on the chips. I don't purchase anything else.

Blue Cod
To be fair, the overall rating is a combination of the below:
Tonight we ordered:
2 x Battered Sausages
1 x Spring Roll
1 x Curry Roll
$5 Chips
The Battered Sausages
Now at $3.00 each, they were tasty but the sausage meat was not the best quality. The batter was thin and crunchy, but not widely spread.
These get a 3 out of 5
The Spring Roll
This was especially tasty. Clearly Homemade, they were made of excellent quality and ingredients.
5 out of 5
The Curry Roll
Again, a sure winner in the combo. Again, excellent quality and tasted great.
5 out of 5
$5 Chips
Wasn't to bad, but nothing to rave about. A fair enough sized portion, but again so so. Nothing spectacular.
Best place to go in the area for fish and chips. Their portions are good and large and their prices are very reasonable. The service is really quick, I can not remember ever waiting for more than 10 minutes for the food. The blue cod is great and the deep fried Mars bars are a family favorite.
