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.

After reading reviews my husband and I ordered take away food. We were not disappointed. We ordered gummy shark, house made potato cakes and house made fish cakes. The fish was battered. The batter was light and crunchy. The portion size was huge! The fish cakes were delicious and when biting into the potato cakes they were soft bites of potato perfection. Highly recommend.

We are regulars at Strait off the Boat, the food quality is always great and the service friendly and efficient. We always have the takeaway option, but you can also dine at the restuarant. We have tried all the other Fish and Chip shops in Devonport and Strait off the Boat is in a class of its own!!! Well done and keep up the very high standard!!!

Saw the excellent reviews and after looking up the location i thought 'yeah, sure'. Humble address but i ordered gummy and chips to see what the fuss is about. Now we know! I grew up in the UK on fish and chips and Brisbane has some very nice seafood but this offering was excellent. I cant name you where ive had better. Keep this place a secret. Surprised of Brisbane.

I was very disappointed with my order today. The battered scallops were like marbles, and the flake was overcooked. 6 scallops and the flake was $27, I won’t go there again. Surely the person cooking knows they are dishing up poor quality food.

I’m really surprised by the recent good reviews as my seafood pack was awful. Hadn’t been to the takeaway for maybe two years (had a great meal back then) but this time everything tasted of old burnt oil that should have been changed weeks ago. The chips, thin piece of fish and tough prawns all tasted exactly the same, couldn’t tell what they were. I threw out most of the pack; a waste of good money. One positive was that the young staff were all very courteous!

Sorry I usually rave about SOTB to anyone who will listen but today's meal was very disappointing indeed. The crumbed calamari, prawns and scallops very overcooked and rubbery. The hero is portion of fish (gummy shark) much better, moist and tasty, and a great big serve of chips. But nowhere near the usual high standard! Lovely friendly service as always.

Best Fish and Chips I have eaten. The chips were golden and crunchy, we also had flake, scallops, prawns and calamari. The flake was like chicken of the sea. Absolutely fresh and the batter was first class.

My partner and I had the gummy shark and chips for lunch, magnificent. Large piece of fish with a beautifully crisp non greasy beer batter. The chips are hand cut just like you cut at home, again magnificent. Everything is cooked to your order, absolutely nothing to fault with this place.

The service was good. The amount of food we received was great. It wasn't entirely in-eatable, but most of it was due to the fact that it was COVERED in oil. I understand that it's a take away store that cooks their food in oil, but that doesn't mean the food should be oily. The oil needs to be put at a higher temperature so the food becomes nice and crispy and cooks well without the oil sticking to it.

I discovered this fish and chips shop on Trip Advisor and I was not disappointed. Fast service and when the food came it’s high quality and cooked perfectly. Also the chips are possibly the best I’ve had in a long time! Definitely recommend!

First time at Strait off the Boat. Extremely personable friendly guy taking orders (wearing colourful bucket hut). The absolute best tasting seafood we have ever had. Large servings and the batter was perfect. Also had the homemade potato cakes - so good! Won't be able to buy from anywhere else now, as it will be a disappointment. The amount of customers coming and going while we were there are testament to how good this place is. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Always fantastic food (Flake is best I’ve had in years) but going above and beyond in the current climate. Did a phone order and staff brought out food and eftpos machine out to my car. Double paper bagged to keep it hot too. Great service!

My favourite fish and chips . Always fresh, good sized serves and extra crispy if you ask for it that way. Their pink ling is to die for.
