Returned to the new fish market last night (Sat) for dinner. Not a great experience. Very long queues. Went to Squid Inc but they really are having teething problems. This large salt and pepper squid was an eye watering $39. And it was so overcooked it was completely inedible. Credit to them for giving me money back with no fuss. Will stick to the fresh and grilled stuff next time. It still like this place a lot however.

$39….! Holy
You are the reason prices are like this.
Simply say No
Being stupid enough to pay for trash and complain about it
Yeah, it’s taking the piss. Keep complaining if it’s not up to the price we’re paying.
Think it’s gonna be a lil while before we go back. Very disappointing
Wonder how much these shops are getting slogged on rent.
Everything is going up and the quality is going down at most places.
I don’t know if it’s the colour balance in your photo, but that looks completely unappetising.
And it’s possible to make cooked seafood look great. There is a fish and chips shop on the QVB lower level on the way to Town Hall that I have walked past for ages and the food looks amazing. I sometimes wonder if they’ve done something clever with the lights.
Anyway, I’ve never stopped to try it because it’s never the right time for fish and chips (or whatever is on offer) but by heaven it looks good. I like to eat fish and chips within a stones’s throw of salt water and the possibility of a swim afterwards. QVB doesn’t work for me, but that’s no fault of the shop.
That’s a Calamoney
$40 for that is an absolute rip offÂ
I was gonna say that actually looks pretty yummy for a snack.
…39 bucks? Did the chef come out and wash your car as well?
My peasant pockes will be steering clear of the fish markets.
I went there yesterday and went to another place that was more reasonably priced but still a bit pricey. Seems like the options available vary quite a bit in terms of value.
At first glance, they look OK. Then I read that it overcooked, but you got a refund. So good for you!
But at $39, that is pricey! Thanks for the update mate, looks like I’ll give this place a pass now.
Sounds like you copped the ultimate ripoff. It’s the newer retailers that are charging way more compared to the existing ones that moved over from the original SFM.
