Dave’s Seafood — Restaurant in Nambucca Heads

I ordered the barra and chips with plain salt, and my wife ordered two pieces of flathead and a potato scollop with chicken salt. The order was written down correctly by the polite young lad who served us.

We were very impressed with the cleanliness of the facilities and the fact that it didn't have that typical seafood odour.

Unfortunately, we were both very disappointed with the food we received. Both orders were placed in the same container and covered in chicken salt. When you specifically request plain salt because you don't like chicken salt, it completely ruins your meal. 1/5

If I had the time, I would have returned the food.

My wife was not overly impressed with her meal either, even though she had ordered chicken salt...

Will never return. Twice I have tried to come with visitors and a full family, both times we were turned away. First time we were told they stopped cooking at 4.30pm, we came back a few weeks later at 4.00pm after picking up the kids from school. Once again we were told they stopped cooking this time it was at 4.00pm. We easily would have spent $150+. While I appreciate staff working long hours the owners need to work on more tranparency with signage. Simple as having clear cooking hours listed on the door and on google. Such a shame being such a small town and having such limited options to bring visitors for an evening meal...

Bought a kg of fresh fish (flathead) and honestly I haven’t eaten fish this fresh in taste in years (not since I could catch it myself). Being hill-dwellers, we can’t get good fresh s/w fish at home, so we also bought a heap of their frozen packets of fillets, luderick, bream, estuary species. I ate all of them, a dozen or so packets, over about 3 months. Each and every filet tasted great too. We couldn’t stop for fish and chips but we’ll be making pilgrimages here in future to fill up the freezer to take...
