Frying Nemo - STUART PARK

I admit we went mainly because of the novelty of the ridiculous name but we were pleasantly surprised by how good it was.

What a location with great freshly cooked fish and super cooked fish. We had two non fish eaters with us who really enjoyed the chicken schnitzel. Service was friendly and very helpful, setting is basic but that is part of the fun.

Four of us had dinner here tonight after reading the great reviews.We were particularly looking forward to the chips after so many people were raving about them.The set up is nice and the views over the marina were lovely.We were initially served by a friendly girl, however part way through ordering, a man took over quite abruptly. We each ordered a piece of fish and small chips each and were quite rudely told one of the kinds of fish we wanted wasn't available and that we would have too many chips. This was appreciated however a little abrupt.The Jewfish in beer batter was moist flakey and nice and crispy, however the two serves of flake we had in tempura were the most toughest pieces of fish we have ever had and was comparable to chicken. The tempura batter was soggy and disappointing.The rustic chips were far too thick and not very nice at all and the straight cut chips were ok, but definitely nothing to rave about.We will definitely not return.

As well as being a really friendly guy, owner Eddy leads a focused and friendly team whose aim is to make your experience here as perfect as possible. We had a our last night in Darwin here and managed to well and truly feed a family of 4 including 2 teens for just over $50 plus drinks. Everything super fresh and cooked to perfection. Huge selection of seafood most local and wild as opposed to frozen imported.Fully licensed and right on the wharf. Watch the huge fish under the pier if eating at nighttime. We spotted a monster cod, Barra and a few stonefish. 5 minutes drive out of CBD close to the "duck pond."Highly recommend.

We like to find places that the locals go to when we travel so we visited here on the basis of other reviews and we loved it. We had barramundi and chips which were cooked perfectly. We were going to get takeaway but when we saw you could sit overlooking a marina, we ordered some drinks to go with our food and enjoyed the view. It was more expensive than you'd pay in other capital cities in Oz but half the price of the same meal in our hotel and the view was lovely.
