Best place for fish & chips in St Helens which is situated at the Wharf. A great variety of seafood you can order. Not a lot of seats available but it was nice to sit on the concrete slabs anyway. Their unique buzzer system was...great, not a loud buzz but a guy saying your order is ready ya hearties.More

$30.50 for fish and chips

Outrageous price for fish and chips. $30.50 for grilled flake and chips for one. I'm not sure if I'm more outraged at the price or that I paid that amount for it instead of walking out. It's $21.50 for battered and somehow becomes $9 more...for less work and ingredients. Even $21.50 is insane. On the plus side the staff were very friendly .... somehow I feel like that was part of the con to get me to pay nearly 3 x what I paid last time I bought fish and chips. I could have bought a second hand fishing rod and bait for that price. Enjoy that $30.50 because I won't be back.More

Not Coeliac Friendly

They are not coeliac friendly. Advertise they do GF chips and will offer grilled fish. Day we went - sign out front says no chips due to potato shortage in 2023. Went up the road and had no problems with GF.

Fish and Chips at the Marina

Basically a fish and Chip shop at the marina. It’s not actually floating, yes it is over the water. Traditional seafood take away fare at St Helen’s Marina. Has limited fresh seafood for sale. On the day we visited only Flake and scallops. Could find...much in the way of fresh seafood at St Helen’s. Well worth a visit!More

$21 for fish and chips is ridiculous

And it didn't even fill me up, tiny serve of chips and two small pieces of flake. Fish and chips is a working class staple. Did I mention it cost $21!!!

At the wharf

Take-away fish and chips were the order of the day for lunch. All chips are done gluten free, so with a piece of grilled fish this was to my liking. The fish was flake, it was fresh and oh so tasty. Other seafood available was...also tasty - wife had a seafood chowder which she thoroughly enjoyed.More

Some of the Best Fish and Chips You’ll Have

The fish and chips were perfect, so fresh and beautifully cooked. The view is lovely and the service was friendly and quick. If this review was just about the food and service 5 stars hands down, but it is on the expensive side with a...portion of fish and chips setting you back $19. I would definitely recommend for the food and view but if you’re on a budget or a family with small children you could get 2 of those boxes and an extra small chips on the side, as each box has 2 thick pieces of flake. The boxes see a generous portion size and you could get away with sharing if you ordered extra chips. Overall a great experience but on the pricy side.More
