Darwin Fisherman's Wharf Eatery

For a quick dinner it was okay. We had 3 meals. Steak sandwich with the lot, seafood basket and grilled fish and salad. We all agreed the meals were a 7/10 each. The chips seemed like they no even salt and just had a sprinkle when plated. The grilled fish was very over cooked. The scallop in the basket was completely tasteless. This fish and prawns in the seafood basket were awesome and very fresh. The gardens out the back were good.

Darwin Fishermen's Wharf Eatery, May 2022. I had the Fishermen's mixed seafood basket and a prawn fried rice. The quality was reasonable but nothing special, the rice was a bit oily and a little undercooked. Would try them again if I felt like seafood. But there are many other places to try out in Darwin before returning to this reasonable fish and chips.

I was annoyed when on the phone it sounded like the lady told me seafood sticks were $2 but ended up being $2.50 and the serves of chips are to laugh at, see my images of what $6 worth of chips look like. I honestly have felt ripped off. But when I opened the pack and saw that beautiful piece of snapper...awesome. The fish was fresh and was battered well, hot but still crispy. The seafood sticks were good, if only a little on the soft side but had some crispy bits. The chips were above average for fish n chip stores but the amount was a super let down. If you thought $6 of chips could feed your family you’re wrong. This review would've been a 4 or 5. The chips definitely have affected my rating. If I had only bought the fish, it would be 5 stars easy. Edit: Went back again, the second trip was much better, got more chips with my purchase, calamari rings were excellent and the battered snapper was still awesome for the price. Possibly my new fish n chips shop. Updated review to 4 stars, thanks. 18_08_2021_Edit2: Inconsistency is disappointing, new attached image is not $30 of fish n chips on a tiny tray. Called the owner, they advised they weigh all the chips, but in no universe can you tell me there is $30 on that tray.

The one star was for friendly service. The piece of fish (Jew apparently) was sliced so thinly that it was actually crispy - completely dried it out. I estimate that the thickest part of my fish was less than half a centimeter. Do your customers and your business a favour and use thicker, smaller fillets. Your batter is actually quite nice but hotter oil would give a better result as it was quite oily. So disappointed.
