“Should have learn't the 1st time”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 June 2013 NEW

Went to Joe's fish shack for lunch and was very disappointed. This was the second time but thought would give it another go again. Big mistake. For approx $30 a head I expect something at least a little better other than the view. Ordered the grilled Samon. Don't serve the fish skin down as it then turns to mush. A... More

“A little downmarket”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 May 2013

There's a lot of competition nearby for fresh seafood and views of the marina. Our barramundi and chips was served quite quickly, with large portions for around $17.95. The meals included sachets of ketchup and tartare, but plastic cutlery and rather curt service left us a little disappointed. I had to ask for lemon wedges (a fish and chippery that... More

“Good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2013

Great location right on the water. I have been here twice and the food is reasonable priced for WA and the portions huge. The first time I went was in the evening and the food was great but this week it could have been warmer, nevertheless there was loads of food and it tasted fine. One of the problems, and... More

Hi Lawjules 09, Thank you for your comments & feedback after your recent visit to Joe's Fish Shack. In regard to your comments about the smell of fuel, one of the attractions of the Fishing Boat Harbour is that it is working harbour & from time to time there accidents occur & unfortunately the day prior to your visit there...

“Nice Barramundi but vinegar watered down”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 April 2013

I got the barramundi with fish. It was nicely cooked but the chips weren’t great so I asked for vinegar. We were given a bottle that was very clear in colour and it tasted really watery, barely a taste of vinegar off it and just made my chips far worse. $31 too much for what I got but the service...

“Cheap and great”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 April 2013

There'd a whole swag of these joints on the Freo front...this is my favourite......sit outside inn the benches with the self-order counter..on the right of the restaurant proper...and just order the fish and chips with a beer or wine. Cheap as chips and the fishing boats within spitting distance...Fisherman's Wharf eat your heart out.

Not fantastic, but certainly not bad. Great seafood and great outlook to the water. Probably time they thought about freshening up the building its looking a little tired
