The Squid Shack — Restaurant in Western Australia

Oh dear this place needs some love and attention. Firstly though staff were friendly but thats as far as it went. We ordered the panko crumbed calamari & chips and the tempura squid and chips. Both over cooked and burnt. Sorry too the worst chips we've ever tasted and all just little bits n pieces, I didnt know chips could taste that bad. We threw out the chips and had to remove the panko crumb and tempura batter from the squid to even attempt to eat the thin chewy tough squid underneath. The place its self was dirty and cold even with a woodfire burning. The netting hanging from ceiling was full of dust and cob webs. The place was dark and uninviting. Its in a fabulous spot! It just seriously needs some pride shown by the owners. But like everything you need to try it and make up your mind, maybe we just went...

If you want the best shark with seriously crispy batter then this is the place. Even after eating you don't feel heavy provided you have a bottle of soft drink. Chips are hit and miss depending how busy they are but when you get them when they're quiet, you'd definitely be in for a delicious meal. One thing though is their squid tastes suspiciously similar to the salt and pepper squid from mckails store... I'm not going to hold it against them because the shark makes up for it. Highly recommended for the shark and chips plus drink! Update: March 2023 I go here with my hubby exclusively for their shark and chips and have been for years now. Always consistent quality food since my last review and have increased from 4 to 5 stars. We love...
