The menu centres on daily fresh fish and chips, grilled seafood, salads and a hot seafood chowder that suits the cooler Tasmanian climate.

Calamari and chips rounds out many an order, with portions generous enough for sharing.

Dine-in and takeaway are both available, with indoor and outdoor seating. The space is wheelchair accessible throughout, covering the car park, entrance, seating and toilet facilities. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables, which is a genuine plus for those exploring the waterfront precinct.

Great fish and chips. We ordered beer battered flake, three calamari and chips. It was enough to share, as we’d sampled some food at the nearby markets. There is seating inside and outside the eatery. They are licensed and also provide self service bottles of water and cups. The calamari was excellent and the tartare sauce was included in the price.
The prawns were absolutely delicious—fresh, flavourful, and perfectly cooked. I genuinely loved them, and they were the highlight of my meal. The fish were tasty too.
The staff service was average, but I would not call it poor. The lady serving us seemed a little uninterested or tired, though that is understandable. Everyone can have a bad day, and the place was extremely busy when we visited. The wait time for our order was slightly longer than expected, but again, considering how crowded it was, it made sense.
The location is excellent, right on the waterfront with easy access and beautiful views.
Brilliant Seafood Restaurant with Value for Money Food Selection. The location is brilliantly situated on the water with plenty of indoor and seating outdoors. The food is absolutely delicious and will satisfy.
Delicious Flake and chips. We also enjoyed the crunchy salad.
Shame they were unable to serve coffee after our dinner as they were too busy. We were having a great chat with friends. Instead we moved to a Cafe nearby to enjoy a 8pm coffee.
This is a casual eatery. You order at the counter and they bring your food to the table.
Crumbed scallops and chips were very good and a large portion. Hubby had the fish sandwich and while it was good the bun was way too big for the small piece of fish.
We had such an amazing experience at Fish Frenzy! The food was absolutely incredible — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. We ordered the Pier Platter and it was outstanding. Everything on the plate was delicious and beautifully prepared.
The service was just as impressive — super fast, friendly, and attentive. We were there celebrating a birthday, and the staff went above and beyond by coming over to say happy birthday and have a little chat with the birthday person. That personal touch really made the night extra special.
Highly recommend Fish Frenzy for both the amazing food and the fantastic service. We’ll definitely be back! 🐟✨
We had salmon for a lunch and the food was very tasty. The salmon was fresh and the portion included a big salad. Highly recommend eating here while visiting in Hobart!
Bustling riverside fish and chip restaurant on Sullivan’s Cove Hobart, offering a great semi-casual dining experience with incredible water views. I ordered the grilled flathead, which was the fish of the day, and it tasted particularly fresh! It was served with a large serving of crispy chips and salad. Although busy in the early evening on a Saturday, the wait time for my meal to be served wasn’t long. Friendly and hard working staff rounded off a great experience.
