Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Ate here 2 nights in a row. Fish very fresh and they take many precautions for gluten free, including grilling fish on foil and having a dedicated fryer for French fries. Staff were all very helpful and courteous. Between the two of us & two...dinners, we had 4 different kinds of fish - all very good. Green salad was excellent & portion generous. Not a fancy place and in the same building as a gas station - so not the ambiance of a fancy restaurant - but recommended!More

The best fish and chips I can ever remember eating. We just had whiting, one serve battered, one served crumbed. The fish was delicious - fresh and succulent and the outside perfectly crisp. It isn't the most salubrious setting but the food is so good...it doesn't matter.More

Lucked out and got an assorted seafoods lunch for 6 of us eating in the shop. Everyone was happy. They were doing a busy takeaway business and you could get assorted seafood to take home and cook yourself too.

Great place for some of the best seafood I've had and quite reasonably priced as well. Located attached to the Ampol service station with ample parking out the back. Has a few tables available to dine in. Is extremely popular so may find a table...difficult to obtain. The fish is extremely fresh and beautifully cooked and good sized portionsMore

This looks very unprepossessing as you drive along the main road into Kingscote. It shares its building with a gas station and looks like, well what it is, a chip shop! Do not be put off. It is spotlessly clean, friendly and it serves superb...fish and chips (or chicken nuggets etc) The batter is to die for, the fish is moist and cooked perfectly, chips are good too. We had a salad with ours- this was also excellent and generous. Worth a detour!More

The fish was good and fresh. They batter and then fry the fish rather than batter a bunch ahead of time. Batter could use a tad more seasoning, in my opinion. It's hard to find a place to sit that isn't under a gale force...wind from the ceiling vents.More

Seafood options are extensive but you can’t go past the fresh whiting and fresh calamari, which we had crumbed. Menu and combinations options are extensive. Chips are great.

Arrived on the Island and did not feel like cooking first night. Went looking for this establishment based on the TA reviews. It had some of the freshest seafood we have eaten. The King George Whiting was superb. Service was great and there is plenty...of parking.More

No, while it can be busy, it is a casual place and you just walk in, order and wait.
