Fork N Fish — Restaurant in Western Australia

As a fish and chips lover I was very disappointed in this place. We paid over $68 for 2 x fish and chips, squid rings, 1 x fish cake, 3 x pineapple fritters, 1 x crab stick and 3 small Woolworth kids’ juices.

The good. The chips were good and so too were the tasty, dusted squid rings.

The bad. For $12.95 you get one (1) small piece of fish with not much fish inside and quite dry. It reminded me of when I’d over-cooked the fish you find in supermarkets in cardboard boxes but was less meaty.

After receiving the order I questioned the price (my partner made the order). When i asked about the huge sign with the deal (see photo) at the front of the restaurant we were told that is a different fish (we had asked for “fish and chips” so I don’t know how the signage could refer to a different “fish and chips”).

I think the place was pulling a fast one. If they weren’t then it is a truly expensive place for what you get. The three little drinks came to $10.50 ($3.50 each). The fish was very overpriced for what you received, most places are $9 around the area (check out Brighton Fish and Chips). We would happily have spent $68+ on The Canteen (great fish and chips and opposite the sea).

The moral of this story is: if you like squid and chips then this is a good place to visit. If you prefer fish and chips then definitely avoid this place because your money can be better spent elsewhere, a place that won’t leave you...

Buyer beware: don’t fork out for fork n fish Unfortunately, this was a thoroughly mediocre fish and chips experience for a very premium price. The fish had a peculiar texture and each piece had an identical shape, suggesting that it might be a molded product. The chips were okay, but a stingy amount by fish and chips standards. Worst of all though was the price. Between a group of three we paid over $100 - 18.90 for a single serve, and something around $65 for a 'pack for two'. Plus premium sauces at $3.90 each. Fish and chips is one of the most simple and cheap meals a person can make - as traditional neighborhood fish and chip shops have demonstrated for years -so to be charging this much is bordering on daylight robbery. It will be insisted by the management that it is a "very premium product" to justify the extreme pricing, but truth be told despite this and and almost beachside location, it's simple tastes like nothing special. I hope they reconsider their business model and manage to attract some...

I used to dream of the days we would treat ourselves to fork and fish. Our normal order consisted of a serving of fish and chips to share with extra chips. Normally, we would struggle to finish this but this time we were highly disappointed. Even a small sized mouse would have been disappointed with the serving we received, let alone a human. We decided to splurge and get gravy which cost $4 extra and the container was one third full and the Gravy was almost a hard consistency. We weren’t greeted nicely with a team dressed in Hawain shirts like normal either. Under the impression there was an owner change so do yourself a favour and don’t waste your time. Buy some frozen fish and chips and cook it yourself and it will be 100% better. Will never go back and will make sure to tell all of our friends and family about our experience. I don’t wish that experience on my worst...
