I have been here a few more times since my last review. Still great value with fast friendly service. We always go to Victor Harbor when we have family visiting and this is one take away place we make sure we go to. The fish is always fresh and quite decent pieces, we always have more than enough chips - so the seagulls are always happy. We usually just walk over to the beach and eat them there. Always busy, which is a good sign. Never been disappointed. Highly recommend you give them a try.

It was my first time at Victor Harbour and I happen to walk pass this fish and chips shop who claims to be the second best fish and chips shop in South Australia.
Hey!!! Such a big claim need to be put to the test. I went inside and order. The fish was cheap it was only $6 for a piece. After we got our order we went to the harbour and sat there to enjoy our meal. It was indeed one of the best fish and chips I have ever eaten.
If the second best fish and chips is this place, I truly wonder who the first is. If anyone knows please let me know.
Highly recommended if you're in the area. :)

This place serves up amazing fish and chips. I went here yesterday afternoon with some mates and ordered Butterfish, 2 crabsticks and chips for under $11, the fish was so fresh and perfectly cooked, the chips had a nice crunch to them and I also really enjoyed their crabsticks. They have dining both in and outside, but we normally just have take away and go and sit by the beach. Service was fast and friendly and butterfish very reasonably priced compared to their other fish. Definitely a place I will be visiting regularly over the christmas break. They now do eftpos with a minimum of $10.

The best value and best tasting fish and chips in victor harbor !! I only ever have take away from there as I love going and sitting by the beach and eating instead of indoors luckily it is only a 2 minute wall to the beach from there . The only issue is the fact that they are located on the main street means it is very hard to get front of building parking but that is out control of the business

Have been here a few times now, mainly in the warmer months when you don't feel like cooking. We usually pick up a large serving of chips, a few potato cakes and a couple of pieces of fish and head to a bench overlooking the beach. I found the staff to be quite friendly (even in busy times) and they cook the food just right - no complaints. I just think that they do charge a bit to much. I have only had take-away and not eaten in. The tables always seem to be full up though. Make sure you have cash on you because they don't do eftpos! I didn't realise this until I ordered and had to pay straight away. There is an ATM across the road - use it before you enter!!!! I will return in the warmer months.

A great location just up from a large reserve, so very convenient to grab lunch and then find a table or sit on lawn on a nice day. The store isnt modern, but it ozzes the fish and chip shops of days gone by. I have no complaints of the quality of the food served. Enjoyed every morsel. A very popular take away shop on weekends and holidays

I did not really like this store. The inside was quite old and tacky but reminiscent of your old fish and chip shop. The food was better than I expected although certainly not the best in SA, I come from Mount Gambier and they always had the best in SA in my opinion. Reasonably priced considering it is in Victor Harbor and the staff are friendly. It was not busy when we went so we were served straight away and the fish and chips were hot and fresh.

Approximate cost: $10

Nice fish and chips. Fish had a nice, thin batter, so you can taste the fish. Chips were crisp and cooked just right.
Shop looking a bit tired, but clean. Price, not cheap.
Service, OK, could be a bit friendlier (although, I know from experience, preparing food can be a draining task, a lot of fickle customers nowadays), so may have just been 'one of those days'.
Sign outside advertises 'The Best Fish & Chips In SA'. Big claim; could be!; I'm not sure?; make up your own mind.
But you shouldnt be disappointed with the taste.

Having bought fish and chips here before, we visited again recently and glad to say they still are the best on the south coast. The steak sandwich I had was excellent and I found myself eating some of my partners fish and chips too! Wonderful fish and chips and steak sandwich. I will be back!
