About
Skippers Fish Shop is a well-regarded fish and chip shop in St Helens, Tasmania, drawing both locals and visitors passing through the region. With a solid four-plus star reputation across a large number of reviews, it has built a following on the strength of fresh, quality seafood and friendly staff who clearly care about what they’re serving.
The menu has plenty to work with. Flake is a highlight, cooked to a standard that regulars come back for, and the gemfish has earned its own devoted following for its soft, melt-in-the-mouth texture. Oysters and gummy shark are also worth seeking out, and the chips are consistently praised for being cooked just right. The Captains Box offers a generous serve for two, and dim sims round out the menu alongside other quick bites. Coffee is available as well, making it a handy stop at any point in the day.
The shop operates as a takeaway venue with outdoor seating, free parking, and wheelchair access. Card and mobile payments are accepted, and there is a kids’ menu, making it a practical choice for families. The venue is open for lunch and dinner and handles groups and tourists with ease. It is not the cheapest option in the area, but the freshness and quality of the food justify the price for most who make the trip.
For anyone exploring the St Helens area and after quality fish and chips near the waterfront, Skippers is a strong choice. Phone ahead during the dinner rush to avoid a wait.

Best fish and chips we have had in Australia! We went for the gemfish and it was melt-in-the-mouth delicacy. Will definitely go again when we are in the area. The -1 star was for the pack of sea gulls preying on our food.
The staff is really friendly, and it’s easily seen that they take pride in their work!
Easily seen in their service, and seafood quality, which is excellent!
I highly recommend the oysters, and their gummy shark, although just about everything on the menu is really tasty! If you can’t decide, go for a captain’s box!
Can’t wait to go there again!
We had the Captains Box which was perfect us two. The chips were cooked to perfection and the flake was outstanding! Overall amazing!

Delicious food
10/10 couldn’t fault it
Cleanest shop, staff are super friendly and the food is sensational
Food was delicious, had been craving some decent fish n chips and it hit the spot. Not the cheapest place, but was fresh, tasty, hot and not too much of a wait time. They also sell other food such as dim rims and chicken nuggets which is good. Like the idea of putting your own salt and sauces on the food.
Pretty reasonable range are both cooked seafood and take home seafood service would benefit from a smile. Lovely location.
Amazing oysters! Best I’ve had in Tassie so far. Great prices and good views. Only $32 for the dozen.
