What User likes about Harold's Seafood on the Strand:
Harold's Seafood on the Strand was close to my hotel, and when I noticed how busy it was, I decided to try their fish and chips for myself. I ordered traditional fish and chips (an express order) and waited (ten minutes or so) for the order to be filled.I enjoyed the battered fish and the chips, and had another serving a couple of nights later.Harold's was busy, and I figured that popularity is a sign of both success...

As a couple who love fish N chips, this was the first shop that attracted us on our first day in Townsville. Oh, how wrong we were...fish are so tiny, chips are dry, the salad are in poor quality, grated cheese we're in a small plastic bag & old. Disgusting meal of the night. Service was poor either. Such a **** meal...we never bothered going back. It left a bad taste in our mouth....worst fish N chips shop in Townsv... View all feedback.
