Fish and chips is the most popular takeaway food in New Zealand. Food historians have not been able to pinpoint exactly when the meal became an established part of New Zealand cuisine, but all recognise that the first fish and chips shops were introduced by British settlers before [[World War I]].<ref name="Wassilieff">{{cite web|last1=Wassilieff|first1=Maggy|title=Seafood - Favourite Kiwi fare|url=https://teara.govt.nz/en/seafood/page-2|publisher=[[Te Ara - the Encyclopedia of New Zealand]] |access-date=15 December 2017|date=12 June 2006}}</ref> During the 20th century, nearly every small town and suburb in New Zealand had at least one fish-and-chip shop. As in Britain, Friday night has been the traditional night to eat fish.<ref name="Wassilieff"/>

Traditionally, fish and chips were served in wrappings of greaseproof paper and then newspaper as insulation. With the decline of the newspaper industry, this has become less common although plain, unprinted paper is still popular.

In 1980, four up-and-coming [[New Zealand Labour Party]] politicians, including [[David Lange]], were nicknamed the "[[Fish and Chip Brigade]]" due to a picture published at the time with the group eating fish and chips.<ref>{{cite web|title=Seafood - Favourite Kiwi fare: The Fish and Chip Brigade|url=https://teara.govt.nz/en/photograph/5099/the-fish-and-chip-brigade|publisher=[[Te Ara - the Encyclopedia of New Zealand]] |access-date=14 December 2017}}</ref>
