Auckland's Most Talked-About Fish & Chips
Tucked away on New North Road in Morningside, Tipene's Takeaway has become one of Auckland's most loved fish & chip shops. What began as a neighbourhood favourite is now talked about right across Tāmaki Makaurau — and, after a visit from food traveller Mark Wiens and his 20-million-strong audience, around the world.
The difference is in the details. Our oil is always fresh, our fish is well cooked — never oily, never soggy — and our chips come out golden and crunchy on the outside, soft in the middle. Even the fries are properly beer-battered, not the cheap kind. Every order is hand-battered and fried fresh to order using quality New Zealand seafood, so nothing is ever pre-made or reheated.
Regulars rave about the snapper and the lightly crumbed calamari, the grilled fish and the lamb burger, the kūmara fritters and the famous whānau kai that comfortably feeds the whole family. Whatever you order, you'll get the same warm, welcoming service that keeps locals coming back week after week.
Locals keep returning, visitors make the special trip, and food lovers from around the globe now have us on their list. Come in and taste for yourself why Tipene's is Morningside's go-to takeaway.
