Always go here at least once while in Hobart. Always order the same thing. Crumbed prawns with chips. A soda and water. We split it so it's really reasonable. Ten fried shrimp and a lot of fries. All perfectly cooked. Probably frozen shrimp but they are still really pretty good. I might not order the oysters but the crumbed shrimp is a yes. The restaurant is always packed and there is always a line. You get in line to order and give them your table number. And not long afterwards your food arrives. Their system works. And they serve a lot of food. Everyone seems very happy. Recommend for a quick inexpensive meal of simple seafood. And yes, we will return next year. No reservations/bookings accept. read more

Fish Frenzy - Crumbed Prawns and chips - Seafood Near Me - Hobart, TAS

Fish was excellent, service was good as well. The chowder is excellent and has lots of seafood. You don't need anything else.

Appears to have quality seafood. Nice location in marina overseeing the ocean. The catch of the day, Blue Eye, was delicious as were the chips. The seafood chowder was good except it was too sweet for me. Good bread accompaniment. read more

A bit pricey, but SO worth it for the serving sizes. I ordered fish&chips + pepsi, and those chips were TO DIE FOR. Fish was average -- though I tried some of my party's calamari and it was delicious -- but man, those chips? Delicious. And it all comes in a cute paper cone (I say 'cute', but that is irrelevant to the size. Monster cones fr). Service was good, saw a cute little herring bird as well. Damn those chips though. They've got me considering a career as a seagull. read more

When in Hobart, seafood is the #1 choice. For our first dinner in town, we met up with friends and let them choose a spot. We were in Salamanca Square already so our friend suggested Fish Frenzy. We dropped in on a Thursday evening (around 7:30pm) and the place was busy. No problems snagging a table. You order at the counter, tell them your table number then they'll bring the dishes out to you. Service is friendly and I even got a free tartar sauce. The menu is short with premium fish, chips, Frenzy favourites, a pier platter for two ($98.00 AUD), shellfish, from the grill and salads. Prices are definitely on the higher end. As others have said, you're paying for the wharf side views. There was also two specials (fresh tassie blue eye and potato wedges) on their chalkboard menu. Tartar and chili coriander sauce ($0.50 AUD each) is in the fridge and ketchup (pay by donation) up on the counter. - 2x Fish frenzy ($21.00 AUD) - two pieces of crumbed fish, three scallops, three calamari and chips. Scallops and calamari were nicely crumbed and tender. Sadly, their fish was dry. Crumbed breading is the way to go; so much healthier and less greasy. Chips were standard. - Grilled octopus (north west coast) ($25.00 AUD) - with chili, oregano and garlic marinade on a garden salad with tzatziki. Octopus had that tender, almost crab like texture to it. Decent portion. One of the better places that we've had fish & chips but be prepared for a heftier bill. read more

Lunch, I had the Blue eye Trevella battered with the Special Of The Day, Tasmanian grilled Scallops in garlic butter. From a separate counter I had a Tasi Sav Blanc. Be sure to get the tarter sauce and chili sauce from the reach in case, extra charge. Fish was amazing as were the scallops. It was the Wooden Boat festival and everything, though busy was on point! read more

Fresh Fish! Oysters a must try and the price is good for what we are offered. Loved the fish burger and the shark attack. The portion is really big and perfect and so is the place. Loved the location. We went on Sunday afternoon and it was pretty full but the service was fast. read more

As other reviews have stated, the prices appear to be higher than other seafood restaurants. I ordered the scallop special not realizing how little amount of food would be on the plate. The four scallops were smaller than the size of a US quarter. Fortunately, I had also ordered the potato wedges which helped fill me up. Although they were called wedges, they were actually potatoes sliced in halves. The chili mayo was a better condiment than the usual ketchup or malt vinegar which I am used to in the States. read more

Hands down the worst food I've had in Australia and possibly the worst seafood I've ever eaten! I wish I could give this place negative stars. Everything is absolutely tasteless. I tried the fried fish, fried scallops, fried calamari, and grilled scallops and it was all overpriced trash. Pro tip: rather than eat here buy frozen seafood at the supermarket and heat it up using the microwave. read more

It's expected that you will indulge in lots of seafood when in Hobart and Fish Frenzy isn't a bad place to do it if you're after something casual. There's views of the water, tall ships and expensive catamarans. The outdoor tables are pleasant on a warm day and it wouldn't be complete without some seagulls eyeing off your chips with their beady little eyes... When it comes to the actual food... well expect to pay a bit for what is essentially run of the mill fish and chips. $30 for grilled fish and average over-dressed salad seems a bit rich to me. Bruny Island oysters (6 for $14) are good but being pre-shucked earlier in the day means you miss out on all those great juices. The chips come wrapped in a paper cone and are big and chunky. Good, but nothing special. What IS special is the views here and the ability to dine so close to the water. So, choose a great day and I'm sure you'll love this experience. read more

A waterfront fried food emporium where you order at the counter, tell them your table number and the food is delivered to you. The prices are high but you are paying more for the location than quality ingredients and cooking. One of us had the Fish Frenzy which was fried fish, scallops, calamari and chips. All were good except the fish which was not particularly tasty. The other had the Blue Eye Trevalla tempuraed with chips and it was much better. read more

Folks, I relocated from Hobart almost ten years ago, and have returned briefly for work. I had the absolute delight to enjoy your food again which appears to have only got better! My kids both have fond memories of eating there with me, and were envious that I was able to enjoy your food again without them this time! Maintaining and improving on such a great standard is terrific, and I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. Taste; quantity; quality - they're all there in spades. Already looking forward to a return visit! read more

Decent fish, pretty good chips, upper end prices in a casual setting. What you're really paying for here is a great location overlooking the wharf. They have a variety of seafood on the menu which can be prepared a variety of ways. I settled on fish (with calamari and scallops) and chips, with a Cascade. This set me back over $30. It was good, but not great. Not complaining but I immediately thought of the $8 takeaway fish and chips I had in Sydney. Still this was not a bad place to spend and afternoon for lunch. read more

A fine example of mediocre seafood in a good setting. Tossed-up giving this a two star review, but changed to a one star for a couple of reasons that will become apparent. First off, the food is nothing special. Everything seems to be bulked up with excessive chips to make the meal seem bigger. The meals themselves are unimaginative. Nothing specifically wrong with them, just mediocre and boring. Which is a surprise given the relatively high prices for the food. Service, however, is the thing that made me knock the star rating down. Simply put, it is on the level of a badly managed McDonalds. Here's a few points: "No, I don't know which table number I am at. We haven't picked one yet. Didn't know we needed to before ordering. No, we won't go back to find a table, then come back and stand to wait in the order line yet again." "No, the people at the table next to us don't have to clear up after themselves, and we won't either. At the prices you charge I expect you to clean up the table after we leave. And perhaps you should consider not badmouthing customers after they leave." Really, there are a lot more pleasant places for seafood around the docks that are better priced, have better food, and don't consider customers to be impediments to their business. read more

I read that Fish Frenzy had the best fish and chips in Australia. I don't know if that is true, but we ordered the fish and chips and loved it. Good food, good service, friendly employees, excellent experience. The Blue Eye Travalla was great. read more

I really like this place! The fish burger with chips was very good, and HUGE. The wine special was very nice. A little pricey at $28AUS but it's on the harbor and you're paying for the view. read more

Overpriced and inflexible with selections. Two battered flake for $15 was possibly the worst flake I have ever had...my local fish and chip shop in Ashburton does better for $6.50. Won't come again. read more

This place is so unreasonably priced it's not even remotely funny. Services is ok, but food is terrible. This place is a glorified fish and chip shop, at 10x the price. Steer clear. read more

If you want fresh Fish & Chips in Hobart, Fish Frezy is the way to go. At the start of the Elizabeth Street Pier, it is located close to Salamanca Square. After coming back from the Three Capes Track (4-day hike), I was absolutely starving. I ordered the calamari, crumbed prawns and chips. Like most fish & chip shops, the food was delivered in less than 10 minutes. The quality of the seafood was fresh and delicious. read more

Fish and chips! No surprises at Fish Frenzy. The fish and chips are delicious but better can be had at a better price. FF offers cool beverages and seating outside and in. Beware of the outside seating and fellow patrons that cannot read signs. Feed the seagulls and beware! read more

The wrap was delish! The price is fairly up there but it's a nice spot that is quick. Great customer service :) read more

Reasonable food, quality service although I suspect the kitchen staff would rather be drinking at the cricket instead of drinks at work.... Considering we spent well in excess of $100 we would expect a more professional experience. read more

Expensive Fish and chips in a fancy wharf setting. It's a nice location but the basic fish and chips is way too expensive for the quality. However it looks like some of the better seafood on the menu looks great. Worth a look for good quality seafood, but for basic fish and chips, try one of the other 3-4 options in the area. read more

I don't get the hype of this place at all. The location on the docks is great, but at the prices charged (eg $28 for fairly average fish and chips) I would expect better quality seafood dishes and table service. Not in a hurry to go back. read more

Great experience, staff was very hospitable, very friendly quick and prompt. The beer batter was amazing and the fish was excellent the chips had a batter on it also which was excellent. Great lunch great location. Travelled down from the NT and was very impressed. read more

Great family restaurant on Hobart's waterfront. Would love to see more Tassie ciders on the drinks menu.
