Bobby's fresh fish market couldn't be in a more perfect location for getting the freshest seafood in Tauranga if it tried.

Located on the wharf in downtown Tauranga the seafood comes straight off the boats into Bobby's shopfront. Fresh fillets, while snappers, mussels, crabs and crayfish are all piled high.

Best of all, if you can't wait to get home to cook it all then just order it fresh to takeaway to eat as your legs dangle over the side of the wharf.

I love the way they cook there fish...its spongy an moist

Freshly caught fish is cut on site, the chips are well cooked, golden with the right amount of crunchy bits, but if you don’t like too much salt ask them to hold back on the shaker.

Amazing fresh fish. I just wish they would drain the grease a bit longer and not put too much salt on

This fishmonger is regarded as having some of the Bay’s best fish and chips. It’s worth a drive out to the eastern coast if you don’t live near Papamoa. Grab a takeaway and get down to the Papamoa Domain, sit on the sandy beach and watch the surf roll in.

Located right on the inner city wharf next to the trawlers this place screams fresh. Inside there is an abundance of the day’s catch on display. Here you can get good old-fashioned golden battered fish accompanied by a good serve of crispy chips. Find a spot on the picnic tables outside neat the water where you can compete with the seagulls and watch smaller fry swim on by.

This fish n’ chip shop has to top the list for reputation and location. The generous pieces of fish are freshly caught and covered in light, crunchy batter. You can sit at the picnic tables on the waterfront - either in the sun or in a sheltered area - and enjoy. The stunning location on a summer’s day makes it a popular spot for lunch too, and you can browse the stalls at the Cargo Shed next door while your food digests. A friend tells me they also often throw in a few freebies.

The fish is always fresh, a decent size and the batter is seasoned really well. The chips are crispy and delicious.

Everything is fresh and always tastes fantastic. Just like the fish and chips you had when you were young.

Whenever I come home to Tauranga, I always head down to Bobby's for some of his tasty fish. It is so beautiful and fresh as! It's one of my favourite places to visit because you get to eat right on the wharf and smell the sea air.

Best fish & chips! In the Bay! Always delicious
