Cripps Family Fish Farm

There were plenty of good sized rainbow trout to catch. They bit readily on the supplied bait (more than the lures). There were also Murray cod, which we didn't try catching but saw someone else catch one.The staff were friendly and helpful.We caught plenty of fish for our liking, and the kids had a good time.

Ordered a medium seafood platter for my daughter's birthday. Fresh and tasty. It was a big winner with the party guests. Ordered over the phone and picked it up at Tallarook farmers market. We will be ordering again in the future!

We had a great time here and we did not land a fish.The operator cam around and gave the kids icey poles as it was hot.When you arrive ask them how active the fish have been. If there are not then I would go for the catch and keep option.If they are active then you might want to go for the catch and release.Why?Because you dont want to be in a position where you catch fish quickly and nee to go home because each fish caught you must buy on the catch and keep option.

We have bought our Christmas seafood from them for the last couple of years and have been very happy. Today we bought their pre packaged marinara mix for a seafood pasta dish and the freshness of the marinara was sensational. We have tried the marinara mix from other places around Frankston and Carrum Downs and this is hands down the freshest we have ever had. 5 stars and highly recommended.

The food was nice, I was expecting fish and chips to be fast and cheap but my son and I waited 30 minutes for our food and payed $31.50 for 1 flake, 2 fish bites, a small chips and 4 nuggets. Apparently there was a 15% charge due to a public holiday which i'm pretty sure today is not.I also had to clean the table myself.

Have taken many visiting family and friends here before lockdownA pleasant day out for all and also have a shop to buy other varieties of fish products you can't catch there all fresh and locally caughtHighly recommend farm and the shop as fish freshest and best quality food l have been going there since it openedStaff always polite and friendly at Cripps Family Fish Farm and Shop

My expectations were too high.. after many visits to the Macclesfield trout farm I did expect a similar experience.. atleast one of the four of us to catch a fish. Nothing. The man who runs the place is lovely but the overall standards of the operation don’t come close to other well established farms. No playground no BBQ and no biting fish. Definitely room for improvement. We’ll give it another go in a couple of years

Fantastic place with friendly and helpful staff. Great setup, loved every second I was there with my mother, we took home 5 beautiful Rainbow Trout. Prices were very reasonable taking into account we took home fresh caught fish! It was my first time fishing / catching.Highly recommend for anyone, beginner or amateur. The best fun. Can't wait to go back again!

Had a wonderful time at the Fish Farm Easter Monday. The staff could not be more helpful. We caught 9 trout , bought them home and cooked them while they were still fresh. We will be returning.

The man that looked after us in the fishing area is fantastic. We are aware of the rules but got a smaller fish one time and we returned it back because of it’s size. The owner of the farm SHOUTED on us while walking in front of EVERYONE, pointing his fingers and yelled “YOU DO THAT AGAIN, YOU’RE GOING HOME! I paid $6 for each fish” very unprofessional should I say. If he thinks we’ve done something inappropriate he should’ve approached us nicely. My husband even apoligised after he raised his voice. The fishes are overpriced we just want to have a good weekend with our kids but turned out to be a horrible one because of his appalling behaviour. “MONEY CAN’T BUY YOU A CLASS MATE.”
