Fishi Business

So unbelievably angry and disappointed - spent $25 on a whole Snapper. Went to cook it, only to discover the shop had not gutted it!! Was not asked if we wanted it gutted or not - the shop just assumed that we would like to (or even know how to) gut a full fish. Why??? By the time we realised the shop was shut - so whole fish thrown in the bin. Won’t be shopping there again!!!

Recently purchased tuna steaks for dinner . Unfortunately the fish was smelly and had to be disposed to avoid illness, after spending over $30 for 3 fillets Contacted the store and explained the circumstances only to be told ,that I should have returned the fish straight away- abit difficult to do so at 8pm in the evening .It’s a shame as the quality of the fish has in the past been fresh and of excellent quality . I asked if ownership had changed to be told “ no”. I suspect it had . Never going back !!

Huge variety of seafood. Well portioned fresh fish and excellent service. Thank you FBI.

Bought a dozen Coffin Bay oysters, a whole snapper and some salmon fillets. The oysters were not fresh, smelled bad and were sittin in a brown juice. The salmon was slimy and the snapper was not cleaned properly and had scales still attached. This shop has definitely changed owners and is being run like a cheap fish and chip shop. I will never go back there which is a real shame as I was a regular customer.

The fish always looks so good and is so fresh. Sometimes the fillets aren't pinboned properly, but hey, it happens. And it's a minor inconvenience to pull out a couple of missed/broken bones myself considering how good the fish always is.I've only been going here since about October 2021, but I've already been back several times and the quality is consistently great. The staff are always very happy and friendly too, even when really busy.If you like doing your own sushi/sashimi at home, I usually get a fillet of each of the tuna, salmon, ocean trout and kingfish which comes in at $40-50 and is more than enough for the two of us. (Don't forget to fry up the salmon skin and salt & slice it the moment it comes out of the pan for deliciously crispy salmon skin chips)

This used to be my go to fresh fish provider other than Queen Victoria Market (QVM) for nearly 3 years. It seems to have changed hands and prices have increased beyond general fish market prices. The marinara mix is not what is used to and now has mega-lumps of salmon and sword fish in the mix but with bones still in the salmon. However, the fish appears to be fresh and there is always a variety based on availability.

Best fish, chips, and calamari in the Ivanhoe/Heidelberg area. Only local place I know of that uses actual calamari rings in batter (the same fantastic batter they use on the fish) rather than the flavorless frozen moulded seafood paste in crumbs that everywhere else serves.

Whoever shucked the oysters this weekend did not have an understanding. Every shell was broken at the edge and the shell grit left for us to eat. Not good, I'd prefer shuck my own.

PSA - the guys leave toilet and don’t wash hands. Witnessed it. No wonder it all smells. Avoid

Fish is always fresh, sashimi salmon and trout always fantastic, just a little pricier than other fish mongers and markets.
