Flippers Seafood Takeaway

What a funny little place, where the order window moves with the tide and there are only as many choices as you can count on your hands. No bother, the fish and chips are cheap and plentiful and served right on the dock which gives at least the illusion of freshness. In a city where food is served at standard hours and is quite expensive in the middle of town, this is a nice cheaper option.

Very average. But the positives are that they are fast with a fryer and you won’t be standing in line for long.
Downsides: cardboard tasting batter, dried crumbing. The chips are also not crash hot which is a shame as it can be a fish and chip shop redeeming quality.
Keep in mind, these guys are on a barge and they tend to have a line up as well. But if you enjoy your fish and chips, try somewhere else.

Came here for a quick bite to eat whilst working an expo over at the Chancellor. Was keen to try it as I had heard so much! The fish was ok nothing special to be honest. I felt like there was too much batter and not enough fish. The fish was more like fish cocktails not one large piece of fish which was a bit annoying. The fish cake was a disappointment too it was just like a frozen fish cake. All up I spent $ 20 and it just wasn’t worth unfortunately.

Good selection, reasonable serving sizes (not too big) and not overly oily if you order the crumbed fish not the battered fish. Plus you get the fun novelty of ordering from a floating shop!

We went with high expectations after sussing this place out during the afternoon and seeing the steady flow of business. The potential is there with a lovely location on the water. The menu looked promising however we were disappointed.
They mucked up our order which we unfortunately didn’t realize until we sat down to eat back at the hotel.
The unordered fish was dry and chewy. The trevalla which was on the order was good. The chips were nothing special nor were the fish bites or crab stick.
The scallops were plump and juicy which made them the star of the show. Unfortunately I couldn’t comment on the coleslaw as it didn’t make an appearance.

A pirate’s treasure chest of seafood, mostly all fried and absolutely solid in quality. Some good variety in the choice of combinations, and the batter used is light enough that the seafood remains the star, fairly unadulterated (you know, considering you just had it coated and dunked in a very warm bath of oil). One combo is likely enough to share with someone. We made the mistake of ordering two baskets, which was way too much food. While our hotel had a refrigerator, I don’t think any of the food would have stored very well. So we stuffed ourselves to the gills (oh…ha ha!), not wanting to waste our purchase. Even light batter gets a little heavy and dreary after eating that much food, so order wisely.

Quick and easy fish and chips on the water. The fact that this (and other establishments) float on the water freaks me out a little, but that probably relates to the fact that a) I can’t swim and b) I think drowning would be a terrible way to go.
Flippers is the closest one to the road, and thus generates a lot of traffic. Their products are actually good, but if you get something battered, be prepared for a total grease-​fest.
The potato scallops are tiny disks of evil, and I would not recommend them. This is disappointing, because I particularly like potatoes.
There’s no dining in option for these guys, but there are some convenient chairs nearby, and if you’re not feeling lazy it’s only a short walk to find a patch of grass at Salamanca or near the Cenotaph.
