World Famous Fish N Chips — Restaurant in Huskisson

On Thursday, 27 September, I had to drive to Jervis Bay Territory for a meeting. It was my first time in JBT. At lunch time I asked a colleague about a good place to buy lunch. I was told to drive to Huskisson and check out the main drag. The place that caught my eye is named "World Famous Fish N Chips". I mean, how could I go past a shop with that name? I walked in and was impressed with the selection of fish species on offer as well as other seafood.

I asked for an order of battered cod with chips with a couple of potato scallops. The person serving me from behind the counter was really bright and bubbly, and she asked if I'd like to try their world famous sweet potato scallops instead. I love sweet potato and I love potato scallops, so I said yes. She also asked about my seasoning preferences, which became very specific. I do like a bit of detail. I was very impressed.

The delay between ordering, paying and eat was pretty short. My number was called and I took hold of a nicely weighted package of fish and chips.

On opening the butcher's paper I could see the cod was very lightly battered, the chips looked really good (not soggy and not chewy), and the sweet potato scallops looked magnificent. The sweet potato scallops, were elongated rather than circular like a standard potato scallop. The batter was thin, but it definitely covered all the sweet potato very nicely. It was crisp and the sweet potato itself was cooked, soft but not at all mushy. I really liked the sweet potato scallop. The cod was nice and flaky. The thin batter was crispy and the seasoning was perfect.

I'd happily recommend Huskisson's World Famous Fish N Chips and I highly recommend the sweet...

There are many options for fish and chips but frankly one that promotes itself at “world famous” does help sway the decision. Well how disappointing that experience was. This was the absolute worst fish n chips I have ever had. The order was taken incorrectly twice, but eventually corrected by the young staff member, the speed was very good at less than 15 minutes which was great but once we collected and went to a nearby park only to find the fish was totally inedible, tough and either raw or just a shocking piece of fish, could not tell the difference between the fried and crumbed fish as they were both fried ! , and the potatoe scallops, in a box on their own were were sitting in a pool of oil and the chips were barely cooked. I refused to accept this and returns the poor quality fish and chips direct the manager. She was very accepting of the feedback, she saw the photos of the potato scallops sitting in a pool of oil, and agreed this was unacceptable. She kindly offered a full refund and would address with the staff. Thankfully the manager was understanding and we received a refund but I would have preferred a nice lunch. This is there business. This this what they do, and I’m sure I’m not the first to be disappointed but I am not going to accept $41 for two serves of fish n chips that were absolutely appalling. Thanks for the refund , I will never buy from your store again and I suggest you train your very young staff to live up to the claim of “worlds best fish and chips” as it was by far the worlds worst in...

The absolute best fish cocktails I've ever had!

I haven't eaten fish n chips in years..but had just gotten off a cruise in Huski; so it was a fish and chips type of day. So glad we picked these guys!

Nothing was greasy! The batter was so light and crisp. Didn't feel bleh after eating it- We all know the fish and chips regret feels. But not here..

It was busy. Packed. Always a good sign. We had to wait for our food.. but you should have to wait a bit for food done right.

Staff were lovely. The lady that took my order was very pleasant even though she was clearly run off her feet. Even had a charming young man come and take away our rubbish and place it in the bin for us. (We ate at the tables outside)

Hygienic clean and tidy. No concerns about cleanliness.

Our meal came to $30 and included fish cocktails, crab sticks, potato scallops, chips and 3 drinks. I thought it was good value.

Also had plenty of fresh prawns and fish for sale.

My only suggestion would be more salt. But that's probably just me.

I really hate going to coastal towns and finding that their fish and chip shops do frozen produce which is dripping in oil that tastes rank. These guys are an absolute example of how to do it right...
