What User doesn't like about The Fish Box:
Not cheap. But **** good .. there was three of us we had so much food it wasn't funny... Come and check it out see for yourself. If you're hungry this is the place to be View all feedback. What User likes about The Fish Box:
I purchased a family pack for $28, and I have to say, it's some of the best fish I've ever had from any fish and chips shop. The fish was fresh, and the batter was light and crispy, just the right thickness. We enjoyed our meal while taking in the beautiful view of the lake. It was a delightful experience!
