Reviews of The Flying Squid
M.
One of the best takeaways in Dunedin! Their blue cod and shoestring chips is simply to die for! The batter on the fish is crisp and light, the fish tastes amazing and they add that finishing touch by topping it off with a little lemon pepper. The chips are cooked perfectly and crisp but still nice and fluffy inside. They have a decent menu with gluten free and dairy free options available as well as burgers. Behind the counter is a selection of chilled drinks as well as a few lollies and treats if you can't quite wait for your meal to be cooked.
L.
Good fish, good serving size and absolutely delicious chips... highly recommend
J.
The chips are very good and a scoop is a very generous amount, though a little too salty. Friendly service.
R.
Love it since my student days! Nice chips, not soaked in oil and was a nice feed with friends :)
D.
Fast and friendly service. Fish and chip are awesome. Not a fan of the seafood stick and oysters from here, too much batter.
S.
This place is the best. best staff and owners. best food. would recommend 10/10.
R.
The owner was very friendly and fish n chips were not greasy at all!! It was so good!
R.
Great fish (Blue Cod) and chips. Lives up to the reputation I've heard from others.
J.
Really awesome place for chips. They offer shoestring and crinkle in a variety of sizes and are always quick. While they're a fish and chips store, they offer a lot more than just those two items.
R.
Really good fish and chips. Not too greasy and the snapper was delicious. Gets pretty busy during student semesters, not much room to dine but fish and chips are best eaten outdoors anyway.
R.
Great place to buy lots of takeaways from. The service is good, and because it is often packed, you may wait ~10 mins for your order. Don't have high expectations here, afterall it is a takeaway shop (nothing fancy); however, for a takeaway shop it is clean, fast and cheap - 3 great reasons people go for a feed. They also have lunch deals for some of their burgers. This shop has fed me through exams countless times.
H.
The best, THE BEST! Chips in town. Crinkle cut, fatties, shoestring, a Mix even! My fave is their garlic salt seasoning. OMG! Addictive, if you're a chip fiend like me. They have been consistent since I was a little kid and my eyes still light up when I see, hear of, go to, The Flying Squid.
In my opinion this place is iconic.
R.
They state gf items on the board but they do not have gf items apart from a sausage which they will cook with gluten items and there chips are not gf. Good food, very yummy the rest of the family enjoyed it. They need to not advertise gf items they no longer have.
D.
Best kumara fries I tried in New Zealand! Awesome - a must take if you are here. Veggie burger and regular fries on the other hand were nothing special. Very friendly and nice team working on meals.
A.
Really nice chips here-soft on the inside and crispy on the outside, not too greasy and well priced. Probably could do with some extra seasoning though, then that would 100% boost it up to a 5 star.
e.
Crinkle cut chips was nice but there burgers were average. I can see why it's popular with the students. And it's reasonably priced.
B.
They were really busy but still managed to get food out fairly quickly and cooked well. Chips ok, vege wontons are a tasty little bundle, burger was good but the battered hoki was chewy. So still having problems finding a good proper piece of battered fish, in Dunedin
P.
Definitely one of the best fish and chip shops in Dunedin. I can highly recommend the blue cod, and the chips are excellent. The students rate this place and they should know. A+++
J.
The curly fries there are just amazing, and the fish tastes like frozen fish, but it's still really good. Plus, you can get the university wifi while waiting. Highly recommend.
J.
More expensive than the other fish and chip shops around Dunedin. Best deal at this place are the $3.80 lunchtime burgers, but still lacking compared to burgers at other fish and chip shops with similar prices without any special added.
L.
i feel the need to revise my previous rating comments. i had to go elsewhere for blue cod whilst the flying squid was closed for christmas holidays. i went to a place that also has good reviews for but found it expensive and got fish that didn't taste like cod. I'm 99.9 % certain it wasn't cod.
it is hard to get good blue cod at a reasonable price so if you find a place that delivers - stick to them. i've never been disappointed by the blue cod from The Flying Squid.
A.
this would have to be the best meal of fish and chips ever. real fish beautifully cooked and brilliant chips that were not dripping with fat. well done
will be back
T.
Just very average fish and chips shop. Do not order mussels, it's disappointing. No lemon, no homemade aioli, but the serving size is quite big.
H.
Great food! Crunchy chips and fish and squid rings are excellent! Had 3 meals and 3 times satisfied. Thank you 😊
G.
Always love Squiddies!!! The best hot chips in Dunedin!! (Ask for extra salt).
S.
Okay fish and chip shop, good location, prices keep getting increase while quality has been going down the past few years, have screwed up my order a few times so I don't frequent it. However it's okay and is always pretty busy.
A.
Probably the best fish n' chips shop in the North Dunedin, it is very close to the Central Library, and the food is very good for it's value - a $2.80 bag of shoestring fries is more then what a single person can eat!!
J.
Very nice chips, descent price, not so descent fish.
R.
Hands down best shoestring chips in Dunedin and only a short walk from the library for efficient study breaks and close to the stadium too for post rugby munches. highly recommend!!
Z.
Great place and never a dull moment - all chips are cooked fresh to order and always piping hot! Awesome work , please don’t go out of business soon
M.
I got ripped into by a fish and chip shop the other day asking for shoe string chips and all sauces. This is been the only place I know that sells shoes stings since I moved to the South Island
k.
Cheap prices and good amount of food always! For less than 8 dollars, I could eat a whole fish burger and medium sized skinny fries! Always my fav 😉
M.
Chips are yum batter a bit thick and gluggy , they were just ok, have been twice now.
S.
Fish and chips made to order and sufficiently drained so you avoid the need to die afterwards. Popular with students, so avoid around peek times.
L.
Nice staff, excellent chips, but fish was semi-finish product.
M.
Good fish and chips.
