Flippers is the busiest spot along the kais and out of good ground. eating is hot, fresh, tasty and fast. they season their eating with the seasons of their choice in the pick-up window and the staff is very friendly. it is certainly not cheap, but it is a good quality.

The calamari was incredibly delicious—tender and juicy. The chips were cooked to perfection and didn’t have that overly fishy oil taste. They offered three different seasonings for the chips, which was fantastic! I did find the sauce a bit pricey at $3 for a small container. The service was friendly, which I really appreciated. Overall, great job!

Flippers used to be one of my favourite Fish&Chips places. But last two times fish was overcooked. I gave them another chance tonight and it was same again. It's sad but I'll not buy from them anymore!

We started this food experience with a lemonade that upon further inspection has been out of date since May (4 months). We got the 6 calamari rings and chips with tomato sauce, (I think it was roughly $20 with the drink). The calamari was bland and didn’t even taste like seafood, the chips were hot but tasted more like fish then the calamari. Same thing with the tomato sauce that also tasted like raw fish. The food was hot but I can’t say it was necessarily fresh. Ok value for price size wise.

I highly recommend this restaurant for its crumbed fish and chips. While the prices are a bit higher than average, the quality is outstanding. The fish is cooked fresh to order, and the service was quite good as well.
