This is takeaway shop, but price is same with other shop. It takes too long to get your meal.

Had lunch here whilst waiting to visit the Glow worm caves. Gavin was a super friendly & down to earth guy to chat with, while we consumed beautiful blue cod, onion rings, & chips. Everything was cooked to perfection...this man knows his stuff! I liked the way he invites you to add your own salt, if you so desire. If... More

This food caravan takes top place for casual food in Te Anau. The fish, especially the Blue Cod is to die for. Have now been back several times and will continue to do so when here. Delightful couple who own and manage, they always have a kind word. Highly recommend, good value for money.

We stopped in here to refuel our tummies on our return drive to Queenstown from Milford Sound. I had read the reviews on Trip Advisor and really wanted a piece of blue cod while in the deep South. The fish (and chips) here did not disappoint. The fish was fresh, crisp and lightly battered and delicious. Just the thing for... More

We first visited this awesome food cart a few years ago when they just started this business, and had a good impression with their food. This time we saw a good feedback on here and thought we will have to have meal from them again. Glad we did, fresh fish, crispy battered, not too greasy. On top of that, the... More

We ate here for lunch while in Te Anau and enjoyed the (blue cod) fish and chips so much that we returned two days later to get dinner to take back to our hotel. It was inexpensive and tasted amazingly fresh - even better than the fish and chips we've gotten in Sydney. This is a great option for when... More

Ate... More

Go around the town center to take a look after our trip from Milford Sound and spotted Mainly Seafood. Brought Blue Cod and Battered Pawn as part of our dishes for Dinner. Overall, the food is very fresh, even after heated up. It is not superb fish and pawn but the freshness of the seafood is excellent and the taste... More

This is a small van, but great food. They have a huge menu to choose from, and some of the best food too. If you are looking for a good meal at a cheap price, check in to Mainly Seafood. You won't regret it.

Do not miss this delight! We were headed to our Holiday Park, and having read the reviews on TripAdvisor, when I saw the mobile restaurant, we changed our plans for dinner and were not disappointed. I recall the oysters were called Green-lipped oysters and they were the most delicious oysters I have ever put in my mouth, and cooked to... More
