Fish and chip shops across Tasmania are well rated as a group, with several rating especially highly and at least one rating poorly, drawn from a large body of customer reviews. The listings are spread across many suburbs and towns, with Hobart, Bridport, Bellerive, Devonport, Glenorchy and Ulverstone among the places that come up most.
All of them are family friendly, most of them do dine-in, and a minority offer delivery. Gluten free options are recorded at a small number of them, and halal food at a small number as well. Flake and hoki turn up widely on menus here, flathead, prawns and scallops at several shops, and whiting, squid and calamari occasionally. Potato cakes are widespread, with potato scallops, dim sims and fish cakes at several shops, and souvlaki, spring rolls, Chiko rolls and salt and pepper squid appearing occasionally. Traditional Aussie menus dominate, while multi-cuisine, modern and Greek-Aussie kitchens each turn up at several shops and Italian-Aussie occasionally. Both light and crispy batter and traditional thick batter are recorded at several shops.
On the shop menus here that we could collect and price, surveyed in May 2026, plain chips sat around $6 and ran from $4 to $10, a single piece of fish sat around $14 across a $5 to $24 spread, and a typical main came in near $16, between $11 and $28.
Strait Off The Boat Takeaway in Devonport is strongly rated, with battered flathead and potato cakes as its signature and its chips, fish freshness and value all praised in reviews.
