While walking along Marine Parade in Queenstown , we were attracted by the sweet aroma of fish and chips. A brief stop at this "shack" resulted in our discovery of perhaps one of the best fish and chips outlet in town. It serves a wide range of seafood. We ordered fried Bluff Oysters - they were large and juicy. We... More

Recommended to us by locals and it's the best fish 'n chips in the South. Fresh fish, huge portions, reasonable prices and the CEO/chef was an outgoing, humorous bloke that our family would definitely give business to again. Thanks for the laugh and the mean feed!! More

In simple terms this place has nice fish and chips and if you are looking for service with a smile forget it. I think it is time for the man behind the counter to retire and start enjoying life. Positive for this place is the Blue Cod and Chips were cooked well, tartare sauce very good and loved the Kiwi... More

I had heard a lot of great things about Aggy's so I decided to give it a try one day after a walk by the lake. Overall the experience was disappointing, there isn't really anywhere to sit which isn't a big deal because it's kind of got that beach hut thing going for it and in nice weather Queenstown is...

Having read the other comments here on TA, I'm really glad we were served by the guy (sneezing into food while preparing is totally unforgivable). Sure, the service was not exactly out of the copy book (he forgot to give us the marinated fish ( in best Homer Simpson voice: veeery nice), and we had a few items in out... More

always our fall-back now that Hoki Doki has closed up shop. Aggy's is always busy. It's in the best location, right on the waterfront. Fish is well cooked - the chips are good old-fashioned sort. Service terse on occasion! More
