Vegan seafood platter!

Never had a seafood player before. This felt like a unique experience. It was really tasty and had a good range of items. It was nice to have some salads to freshen it up. The prawns were incredible in particular. Nice cocktail too. Great for a special occasion.

Pros: Range of vegan seafood, Fast and friendly service

Phish & Chips + Potato Scallops

The phish was the best part, chips were ok. Potato scallops were really saturated with oil. Once I pressed the majority of the oil out with napkins, they were OK.

We will return next time we are in Newcastle to try the phish burger.

So yummy!

So nice to have the option for vegan fish and chips. Typical somewhat greasy fish and chips but great for what it is!

Yum!

The vegan fish and chips were absolutely delicious! Definitely recommend. We also got the mediterranean salad and omitted the feta; it came with coriander, which in my opinion doesn’t belong in a medi salad..but it was great nonetheless.

Wonderful

Lovely view, lovely staff, lovely food.

One of the first places I have been to in Australia that serves handcut chips.

I ordered the "fish" wrap lunch special. It was a lot of food for a lunch but good value for money.

The only downside is the vegan fish options on the platter are not on the main menu and are the same price as actual fish (17 dollars for 3 "shrimp" with chilli) but great options anyway and so happy to see a fish and chip shop branching out to cater for the vegans and vegetarians!

Gave 4 stars as I was not disappointed with the food or portion sizes.

Pros: Vegan "fish" , Handcut chips

Cons: Not many vegan options, Expensive for side "fish"

Real squid in fake squid

Definitely stuff gets cooked in the same frying oil. It was easy to tell that I’d gotten some animal in my meal opposed to the vege option. But the vege portion of the meal was good. Wouldn’t personally go back because I prefer things not cooked with dead things.

Cons: Cooked in same fryer as dead stuff

Lots of vegan options!

Loved the Phish burger on sweet potato bun, very fish like in texture. Salt and pepper Shquid texture was so much like squid, tasted pretty good. Preferred the burger over the shquid though. Home cut chips were really good. Very helpful staff. Water views (set back behind Honeysuckle Hotel Pub).

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Water views , Friendly & accommodating staff

Not great, wouldn’t go back

I had the phish burger and grilled vegetables. The bun was dry and the burger lacked punch. Not good, but the phish fillet was tasty. Tasted like Gardein..

Pros: Mths phish was tasty, that’s all though

Cons: Dry bun , Tasteless food IMO

Incredible vegan seafood feast

Had the vegan seafood platter which featured chilli garlic prawns, tempura prawns, salt and pepper squid, scallops, and so much more. Was very pricey but honestly didn't mind paying it for what we got and the employees we spoke to were some of the loveliest guys, you could really tell they care about giving more options and about the food!

Pros: Fantastic service and good foox

Cons: Expensive

Vegan fish ... 10/10

Was recommended this via Happy Cow ... the staff were so helpful both on the phone and upon arrival ... the vegan fish wrap special was outstanding and actually had the texture of fish .. So if you have transitioned to plant based and used to enjoy fish & chips then highly recommended ... the potato scallops and hot chips were the best and old school style ... defintely be back once restrictions are lifted ...

Pros: Vegan fish wrap, cocktails & burger , Bonsoy milk , $$ excellent

De-lish!

The vegan fish was de-lish!!
Head on in during the week before 4:30pm and grab the special; A vegan wrap with chips and the choice of beer/ cider on tap for only $16!!!
Non vegan mates were very happy with the cruelty-free, plant-based fish.
On top of that, friendly staff.
Defs recommend!!

Pros: Friendly staff, Great food

Awesome mock fish wraps

Super cool to enjoy vegan seafood out and about. They have recently introduced a vegan seafood share platter.
