    Ever had that sinking feeling where check the Yelp reviews on a place after you've ordered? Well thats what happened here and the other reviews were spot on. Yes the chips are great and they are huge servings but thats about the end of the good points.
    For $12 I got a single piece of what was allegedly Barramundi and it was about the size of my palm. Everything else like the day old soggy salad was extra.
    It was comical when they handed over our food and said, "sorry we're out of plastic forks - we only have spoons". As a business owner wouldn't you duck into the local supermarket and grab some?
    And no there is no bin either. When we asked where we could leave our half eaten meals the owner directed us to a laneway beside the shop where a heap of dumpsters were waiting.
    There are so many good fish and chip shops around this area - avoid this one!

    First time I find someone serving me such a poor quality meal ! Too much coating prawn barely cooked, enough salt to burn your tongue.
    Not a fan at all sorry John Dory

    This is the first negative review I have ever given. I love food but that is not what we were served, raw fish is inexcusable. I would leave no stars if I could :-(  I'm not a fussy eater when in Asia I live off street food and have never had a gut wrenching compulsion to spit food out of my mouth, which is what I done on the slimy under cooked food that you will find at this establishment!
