Reviews of Gibbo's Fresh Fish
E.Delish😋😋
Primo batter, 👍
fresh fish.💯
Couple King Prawns grilled in garlic butter cooked perfect,
(mean chefy 😝)
Were so juicy an sweet.
Prawns (on skewer are a favorite😋🥰 an have had there previously), so didn't think to ask or read, these were marinated, or covered in a spice
(I love spice jus not on my prawns), if I'd known I probably wouldn't of had it.
Sorry that was NOT nice🤥, no flavour of prawns at all will question next vist, cause it's off my list at Gibbos 🤐
Counter Service, Awesome polite respectful, clean, keeping things topped up, no standing round(that's all the workers) they had each others back👍👍
That was my Saturday lunch out front of Gibbos, watching the world go by licking my fingers👈👋😇👍
D.Very average fish and garlic chips. Place was very busy so there was a bit of a walt but only 10-15mins or so. Fish seemed fresh and the batter was ok. Not bad, but not great.
P.Observes Covid-19 protocols. Yummy fishNchips. Raw fish available but does run out.
R.Just had great fish and chips here fresh off boat. Could do with some more chairs about the tables. Cost $ highly recommended
W.Always luv the fish n chips, kumara chips, wedges.. All yumm. You gotta try it👍
A.Best seafood in town....great selection of kaimoana, best batter and awesome staff. Highly reccommend to everyone 😊
D.Good fish and chips but the portion size can vary from time to time.
G.Went to Gibbo’s Fresh Fish takeaway shop. They have their own fishing boat that supplies their two stores (this one and another on the wharf). They mainly sell fish and chips but will also grill the fish instead for just 50 cents more. Their kumara chips are very good and not very greasy. They also have a vast selection of other seafood such as various uncooked fish, oysters, and some smoked fish, fritters, marinated mussels, shrimp, scallops, etc. They also have some non-seafood items in the menu. Good seafood, good prices.
You order and pay and are given a number which they call when your order is ready.
p.Always fresh fish very popular sometime have to wait a while.
E.Excellent,, best fish n chips i have ever tasted. Hot dogs were yummy. Mussel fritters yummy. A wonderful selctions of seafood to chose from. Everything was very fresh. Awesome atmosphere, clean and tidy place. Thank you gibbos. I highly recommend.
R.Long wait but worth it. $10 fish pieces and chips a decent feed.
R.Most beautiful fish and chips I have ever tasted ever , A must stop if ever hungry for fish and chips in Whakatane
J.Excellent choice of oil-free grilled fish. Spotlessly clean shop.
e.Nice fish bites and chips were very nice
M.Awesome Fish & Chips, friendly service.
T.Hit an miss with this place.
Always fresh fish but not always same batter.
also last two times they were using old oil chips came out tainted brown an could taste it in the chips.
B.Thoroughly enjoyed our mussels, gurnard and snapper. Massive amount of mussels and all perfectly cooked, all so juicy.
We always take the meal down to where the harbour meets the sea to eat.
Be sure to have wet wipes to clean up when finished.
G.The best, definitely drop in for some fresh seafood, or nice takeaways
L.Lovely fresh fish, clean shop.
R.Read the reviews but wasn't as great as expected. We're not local so unbiased. The fresh fish in the display looked good. Partner had a pot of oysters which was $20.50. Ordered takeaways - mussell & paua fritters which were full of herbs n spices and were mush (no chunks of paua or mussel) so tasted like a patty of stuffing mix and were very oily - so was the battered snapper and oysters. They needed more draining. Chips were the best part. Paid over $30 for disappointing fish n chips.
J.Favourite fish n chip shop in town!
J.Haven't been in yet but seems popular with the locals. Just from walking by a couple of times though must say it must be the strongest smelling fish and chip shop in NZ.
D.Best Fish & Chips I have had for a long time, Chips were plentiful, hard and crispy, ( not soggy) Fish was fresh and tasty, batter was firm and good consistency. Highly reccomended
A.Kai is always ON! Service great, fish fresh.
A.Yummy, the fish was cooked perfectly and the taste of the hot chips was yummy too. The oil was clean and you could tell by taste with each bite you took. Also had seafood salad - yummy.
t.It's super fresh. If they provided a lemon wedge I'd give it 5+
T.Great selection of fresh fish. Love getting my seafood fix from here when I'm back home.
R.Best and freshest fish anywhere in the Bay of Plenty and I would venture to say all of New Zealand.
This fish is so fresh it should still be swimming. Never ever frozen. Great serves of chips, wedges and other supplementary additions too.
Extremely friendly service and if by chance you have to wait half an hour for your order, the wait will be well and truly worth it.
D.Excellent fish n chips. The batter was amazing. my family ran fish and chip shops for over a decade and have perfected a batter recipe. This batter can compare with ours.
The staff were very young but their service was astounding. Smiling and friendly. Great to see.
Recommend this to anyone wanting good feed.
B.Gibbos fish n chips on the wharf delicious oysters mussels and fresh fish thanks to the chef blessed day out for 4adults and 4children off to the heads to enjoy
K.Quick and fresh food. There was a queue waiting for their orders, however it was minimised by the efficiency of the friendly and courteous staff who were very kind to everyone, and applying COVID-19 local restrictions. The prices were reasonable for the food delivered.
C.Best Fish and Chips in a long long time
J.Very polite the ladies at the counter, an very helpful. Churr.
M.Good friendly staff, clean and tidy premises. A bit overboard with the music. 3 different songs playing at the same time and not quietly either.
Burger was delicious as was the oysters.
The tarakihi fillet was small and the garlic chips were saturated in garlic butter so much there was a huge puddle at the bottom of the grease proof paper.
S.Although they didn't have Snapper or Tarakihi on the night, the other fish was just as good. I'd also say the portion of chips could be more but overall very tasty fish and chips and would go back again. Staff very friendly too.
M.Some days they are delicious and some days just ok, last Sunday's were absolutely amazing however very dissapointed in size of fish & amount chips given.
Always be prepared for a long wait sometimes up to an hour. Sunday was only 45 mins.
R.Good size fish with a nice batter
P.Awesome,fish is always fresh my No1 fish and chip shop.
T.Dont ever walk in and order at this takeaways always ring in. Phone orders are always served first and you don't have to wait around. Walk-ins take longer waiting time as phone orders get cooked first. We like to go to Gibbos for a real burger. Ingredients are worth the money and we like the real salad too. The kids like the chicken burger and I as mum have the fish burger and dad will have the Hawaiian burger. Very good burgers for the price.
W.Great customer service, fresh fish, cooked how I love it, Yummy Gibbo's Highly recommend to all
C.Will I must say if your in Whaķatane you need to try king st fish is really fresh and a half hr wait at peck times but really need to try yummy
N.As usual a great place to stop and grab a bite then head down to the Beach or Puketapu Lookout to enjoy. Staff are always pleasant and I always get a little extra every time bringing me back for more. Thanks Gibbo's, keep up the awesome work whaanau 😉
S.The fish is certainly fresh. However the "grilled" snapper we had ( which was very tasty) was NOT grilled. They wrap it in tin foil and cook it on the stovetop. Basically it is poached. Strange.
Hard working, friendly staff.
f.Best fish ive had in a long time! Was fresh and the batter nice and crispy. Chips were good, could have been just a little more crispy.
L.Service a bit slow at busy times but the fresh fish was worth the wait.
C.Fish seemed overdone. Scallops only had the main white without the rest. Also overfried.
Previously that day had chips from same shop which were the best I've tasted. We returned for dinner but were left feeling disappointed.
R.Fish of the day is superb..👌
K.I had delicious crispy batter on my fish and the chips were good too
B.Only my 2nd time to Gibbos greasies, an like the lst,
wuz spot on. Kudos to the cook.
Mussles were a treat.
G.Best absolutely fresh caught fish n chips in whakatane. Eating them is believing.
K.Ava, Arielle, Angel your rock. Your service made our customer experience the best in Whakatane. It was a great way to end the day after celebrating my Mothers birthday with our family. Will definitely be recommending Gibbo's to our family and friends, see you next time. Thanks
D.service was good,fresh seafood was good,and the fish and chips are award winning
