Best food! Squid tender as, prawn tacos delicious! Lamb burger scrumptious, and chicken schnitzel exceptional! Will be back!

S. M.

A stunning meal at Phat Fish. The pulled lamb should on a bed of sweet potato chips was delicious 😋. Crumbed prawns fresh & perfectly cooked. Great experience under the outdoor heaters on a chilly night. Great service as well.

M. H.

Had a lovely family lunch here and were really happy. It was quite busy for lunch but the guy behind the bar was really calm, friendly and professional. They brought us a complementary bread as they were so busy which was nice. When the food arrived it was delicious and very filling. Super happy, will visit again!

N. P.

This was the most delicious fish and chips I have had in years, and the Tasmanian salmon was fantastic too. Highly recommend Phat Fish: great food, great atmosphere, great service!

P.

This is a great place… great service and very clean and tidy. Food was great, seafood super fresh. You can eat inside or out on the street, we elected to eat outside and people watch. Good selection of beers on tap as well as the usual wine, sparkling and spirits. My only nit picking comment would be…. No dessert menu!!

m. g.

We loved our meals at Phat Fish. Ordered the fisherman's basket, salmon sushi, and salt and pepper calamari and it was very nice and good portion.

P. a.

Sea food was fresh and cooked to perfection. The service was very good. We didn't need to wait long at all

j. p.

I just had a meal here tonight, the meal was awesome and I love it!! I had a 12doz of oysters which was really fresh, a stunning pan seared scallops with a Seafood platter.. Staff was friendly, I will definitely gonna be back again soon.

T. S.

3.7. Nice fish cafe off Salamanca place in a heritage building. Pleasant and casual enough and well fitted out. Staff friendly too. I had a nice char grilled salmon with egg, Sicilian olives, egg, tomato, beans, rocket, cucumber, capers and potato. It was a good tasty meal and the salmon was particularly nice. Recommended.

C.

Honestly one of the best seafood lunches I've ever had and I'm not even a fan of seafood! Seafood here was very fresh and tasty. The fried items were not greasy and the Phat Fish chowder was excellent. Highly recommended!

E. L.

Enjoyed a bottle of bubbles and some squid at sunset. Accidentally left my wallet behind and when I called up an hr later Curtis already had informed me he had sent me a Facebook message to let me know he had it. Thank you for the excellent service and honesty.

J. K.

The food was all beautiful at good value - we had the porterhouse, grilled salmon and mussels. Although the service could be better by being more inclusive for people of colour.

J. C.

Friendly and helpful staff, great selection of meals (big and small), and also a good range of beer, wine and spirits too. $12 Mussel Mondays are a real winner too!

S.

Great tacos and fisherman's basket. Also situated on a busy street near the market so very easy to find

F. J.

I have been visiting Tassie for the last 6 months and this is the first time I had my dinner in Phat Fish. I ordered the mussel which is on special every Monday and it was cooked perfectly, the mussels is so tender and full of flavour. You can select from tomato or cream based dish and both are worth trying for $12 each. I also had the Bloody Mary oysters and they are absolutely delicious. The oysters are small but it is full of tassie flavour in it. The seared pepper tuna is good but I guess I’m too full to appreciate it. I will surely come back here for another round of the Tassie Mussels.

B. G.

Great for a meetup with friends when you want nice sharable food - and even better - a friendly place to bring a well-behaved pup!

S. P.

Really nice food. Had a lot of seafood and it was all great. Huge oysters. Great value for money!

D. C.

There's too much truly excellent food and tasty cocktails. Great Saturday night, not so great Sunday morning!

T. T. H.

Loved the ambiance great food, friendly staffs and very good waitress. But food portion slightly small. Do order the Chilli Mussels!

D. L.

Had a lunch during the week, oysters and calamari salad. Quick service, friendly staff, food was excellent and fresh.

J. O.

Is a seafood restaurant but surprisingly does beef steak just as well. Ordered a no frills 300g porterhouse beef steak and yummy good! Must try!

A. M.

Had a sensational grilled salmon. Coming back tuesday for another one 😁

T. C.

Why a restaurant that focuses on fish in their name and on the menu does not stipulate what fish they're actually selling is beyond me. Non of the party were overly impressed with any of the food that got served up. Best thing by far IMO was the fish nuggets for the kids, OK food to have with a beer but if you want seafood and good seafood go somewhere else. Service was great,

S. T.

Enjoyed the most amazing burger at Phat Fish today - the soft shell crab burger! Absolutely enjoyed every last sceric and the kids enjoyed their crumbed fish and chips. Highly recommended!

N. B.

Food is great, service is pub service, not restaurant service so be aware. About the only thing that stops it getting 5 stars though, ambience is fun, drinks are plentiful and the food is top notch fried seafood, perfect for a night on the tiles. Maybe give the cheeseburger croquettes a miss though. A bit gluggy and if the meat is seasoned you can't taste it over all the liquid cheese.

A. H.

The staff are very friendly and the salmon is second to none. Thanks for a great Tassie experience!

M. K.

An excellent venue with a lovely vibe. Staff were super responsive and the food was to die for.

M. G.

Me and my friend thoroughly ten joyed our burgers they were yummy and the service was warm and friendly with a smile.

R. S.

Amazing Taco’s, good service. Highly recommend.

S. G. H.

Have yet to to est here but the platter is on the wishlist. Dropped in for the Fishbowls happy hour and the service was fast, friendly and drinks great value.

W. D.

We enjoyed our food here. Friendly staff.

R. L.

One of the restaurants at Salamanca Place. Fresh seafood. Can sit at bar or outside.

E. T.

We really enjoyed our meals at Phat Fish today. We turned up without a reservation right on kitchen closing time (not intentionally!). The chef very kindly still agreed to take our orders. The Panko crumbed fish taco and grilled chicken and corn taco 🌮 were full of flavour - delicious! My husband thoroughly enjoyed his Panko crumbed ‘fish and chips’. Thankful for the fantastic service as it was also my birthday and the first ‘date day’ my husband I have had since our 9 month old was born!

J. H.

Delicious meals at a great price, the staff most helpful and ,most welcoming

J. N.

Very friendly service, great atmosphere! The winner was definitely the food, AMAZING fresh seafood platter. My husband who has been vegetarian for 3 years couldn’t resist the seafood platter! If you’re a seafood lover then the Phat Fish will definitely not disappoint!

u. t.

Best taste in Salamanka place in regards to fish. But timings on Google and inside store smells need to be improved. Please update your time in website accordingly

E. J. (. I. C.

E joyed the seafood platter, easily fed three adults! Very accommodating of GF requirements, most of the platter was GF friendly and they simply seperate the rest! Can't wait to return next Hobart visit

M. F.

Heard about this place from the locals. Quiet night but got great service from the barman, served me a fine whiskey plus the best Flame Grilled Salmon I have ever had. All the flavours merged so well, cooked to perfection. Can't wait to eat here again. Definitely recommend.

V. B.

We had some oysters and seafood baskets. Every thing was absolutely delicious. The calamari was the nicest I have had in Tasmania, and I am a local, battered oysters were delicious as were the chips. Their recommend drink was very nice as well.

J. N.

Great food here, we were able to sit outside, but toward the end of the night the birds were a bit of an issue. It's a bar atmosphere, so no table service but as long as you like seafood you'll definitely be able to find something here for you. We had the seafood sampler which was just perfect for 2 hungry people, but could have fed 3 normal humans :)

S. W.

Excellent fish tacos - two for $12. Fish and chips was very filling.

R. M.

We had dinner there and went back for lunch a few days later because it was so good. The food was fresh and well cooked, the staff were friendly, the atmosphere relaxed, and the service was at just the right pace to allow you to have a drink or two and have a conversation without feeling rushed. The selection of beer and wine was good, especially the local varieties. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Hobart!

P. G.

Great little seafood restaurant in an awesome location. Food was really delicious and the portion size was perfect, not too small, but enough to satisfy. Friendly staff and overall great value for money. Amazing chips!!!

T. D.

Great place for a speedy lunch, service was very friendly and efficient. We had a very short time frame before boarding plane back to Sydney, group of 4 plus one child had our meals within 20 mins. Batter on the fish and chips was light and crispy, the calamari salad was delicious and plentiful, one piece of advice a circular bowl maybe for the salad to help scoop up the goodness 😜 Would definitely recommend, good work guys. See you next time 👍

B. C.

We had the most amazing dinner one evening so returned a few nights later to eat here again. We were sadly disappointed as the live music was so loud we could barely talk. He was also over produced and a bit average to listen to! It really spoilt our night. If it wasn’t for this I would have rated this restaurant a 5star.

T. T.

Very nice food! Highly recommended

K. H.

Ordered the tuna and a garden salad with haloumi. Overall cost me 41 dollars... I wanted all the items. However they forgot my potatoes included with the tuna and I find that strange, and kind of rude because I had to disturb my friend while he was eating his burger to ask for the other part to my meal. To be fair, not cheap and probably staff should be more attentive. Otherwise good food

A. I.

Second visit a few weeks later: Unfortunately our visit was not as pleasant as our first. The floor looked a bit greasy/unmaintained and our food was quite greasy, total opposite to what we had at our first visit. - First visit when it just opened: Food was very tasty. The place is brand new (just opened a week ago). Polite staff and very affordable. We will definitely come back! Thank you very much PHAT FISH! We really enjoyed the time we spent with you guys!

B.

The most amazing hot apple cider and rum drink ever. Coming from Melbourne, we are spoiled for food choices but Phat fish has been amongst the top dining experiences we’ve had. Reasonable food , amazing cider and service and the Phat Chowder is worth it’s weight in gold. Would come back just to eat here again!

L. Y.

The mussels are very good if u come try too

J. D.

Very good bar/restaurant! Tuesday night and every table full. We had fish and chips, scallops and chips and tacos that were 2-4-$10. All very good, tacos especially! (halloumi and panko fish) Great selection of beers on tap and nice wines. Also alot of other menu items I'd have(crab burger) Good atmosphere with music and stylish set up throughout... Only thing stopping from 5* is wait for food(about 45min) Think place is new tho.. so if they can shorten the wait then 5* defo

M. M.

Nice layout, wonderful food, reasonably priced but terrible service. I arrived with my girlfriend for lunch, we were given a booth to sit in as there was only two other tables taken (the other two booths). After ordering some food drinks (and paying around $70) we drank one each and went outside for a cigarette, when we came back in a local man had been given our seat and had a drink and cutlery in front of him, we weren’t approached about why this was so we chose another table and sat down. I went back up to the bar to order and thought I would ask why our table had been given away, to which the barman/waiter replied “I didn’t give it away, I’m here by myself, I can’t cant guard tables for everyone.” This was extremely disappointing as he seemed to be a really nice man at the start and unfortunately, if you’re a waiter, it is your job to ensure people’s tables aren’t taken, especially when there are plenty of other tables available. All in all the food and atmosphere was great, the waiter was nice too, however I couldn’t help but get the feeling he was too lazy to take responsibility for his mistake or try to rectify it.

L. D.

Great place, food didn't take long to arrive, fish was pretty good and the chips were really good, highly recommend

J. N.

Generally good and well worth the visit, but it appeared as though the staff had forgotten to change out of their comfy-stay-at-home-dag-wear.

S. S.

Pretty awesome. I'd like to see more soft shell crab dishes, and later opening times/late night kitchen food service, but overall fantastic.

Banging mussels and chips and a serious portion to quaff on. Mussels are monstrous. Only sting in the tail was the rancid local dark ale. Note to self: ask for a taster next time.
