What User likes about Heads & Tails:
This is my local fish shop and wins my vote hands down for the best fish and chips. The fish is fresh, the batter light and crispy - never soggy - and the chips are crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. There is a wonderful array of fresh fish if you prefer to cook your own at home. I often buy fresh salmon here. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Heads & Tails:
We ordered MEDIUM hot chips takeaway which were $5.50 (or close too) to go with our dinner we cooked @ home and I picked up a small portion that would feed one adult. Very disappointing as I was expecting at the very least enough chips to feed 2 adults!! Perhaps they should change the size names they advertise as they are false. Also I was disgusted to see a sign in the shop saying "$3 to use the toilet if you aren't... View all feedback.

I've been into this establishment a few times, and the service has never been good. I went in one evening, and it was quite near closing time, so I interpreted...

Avoid. This place has a terrible atmosphere. There are much better places elsewhere that deserve your time and money.

Ordered three scallops and got unrecognisable tiny bits of fish in gloopy batter. That’s a fraud right there. The ‘grilled’ fish was essentially raw. It was not...

Good service and good food for a reasonable price. Salads in display looked fresh and displaying the fresh fish was a nice touch. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal...
