We each ordered a piece of fish and small chips each and were quite rudely told one of the kinds of fish we wanted wasn't available and that we would have too many chips. This was appreciated however a little abrupt.The Jewfish in beer batter was moist flakey and nice and crispy, however the two serves of flake we had in tempura were the most toughest pieces of fish we have ever had and was comparable to chicken. The tempura batter was soggy and disappointing.The rustic chips were far too thick and not very nice at all and the straight cut chips were ok, but definitely nothing to rave about.We will definitely not return.

We had a our last night in Darwin here and managed to well and truly feed a family of 4 including 2 teens for just over $50 plus drinks. Everything super fresh and cooked to perfection. Huge selection of seafood most local and wild as opposed to frozen imported.Fully licensed and right on the wharf. Watch the huge fish under the pier if eating at nighttime. We spotted a monster cod, Barra and a few stonefish. 5 minutes drive out of CBD close to the "duck pond."Highly recommend.

Plenty of free, off-street parking. I always receive a warm, friendly welcome and efficient service. The quality of the food is excellent, and this is on a consistent basis. I've never had a bad dining experience here. Can't recommend it enough.

I admit we went mainly because of the novelty of the ridiculous name but we were pleasantly surprised by how good it was. read more I admit we went mainly because of the novelty of the ridiculous name but we were pleasantly surprised by how good it was.

Chips came out for at least 5 people in a basket separate from the fish (which I love) and the fish 2 nice good size pieces for each of us sweet...(6 total) and sitting in the harbour looking at all the yachts and boats moored there and the surrounding apartments thinking yes this is the life but yes good feed
