Sweetlips

Bathhouse building and Sweetlips were renovated recently and so this place has a nice bright look to it. The fish and chips is consistently good and the crispy batter is not overly done. The service is usually friendly. Birds do try to come in and join your party but take this as testament of how you are around the corner from the bay. Get more squid rings. You’re welcome.

This place is like most other fish and chip shops in Fremantle, but they do have fairly good fish and chips… Not too oily which is good. Very quick service, and they bring the food to your table which is a nice change from the normal (which is go and collect it yourself). The prices are reasonable too

Decent fish and chips, but nothing fantastic. Pretty expensive at $ 15 for a large fish plus some chips. Great ambience though, right on the water. Friendly and efficient service.

i enjoyed the fresh fish. i enjoyed the prices. i enjoyed the area right by the wharf.
the chips were nice and crisp and the fish was so light and crunchy battered.
overall it was a good experience. however, the salad we ordered wasn’t much and tasted very bitter. also, the oysters, which were cheap, were probably the worst i have ever eaten.
for a cheaper alternative to the other fish and chips places i suggest sweetlips. avoid the sides and go with what they do best, the fried seafood.
3 stars if perfect for my first outing here. it was good enough that we plan on eating here again during our trip.

Like most of the fish and chips restaurants in Fremantle, Sweetlips claims to be the best. Now, I can’t say I’ve tried them all, but with its fresh fish and seafood cooked to order, Sweetlips is definitely a contender. As you queue (and you probably will have to — this place is popular!) you can see their wonderful selection of fresh seafood laid out in the fridge in front of you, and after you’ve ordered, you can watch them prepare and cook your fish. One of my favourite snacks is their cup of squid — a sign outside proclaims that if it’s not ready in three minutes, it’s free. I’ve often plotted to order it and then somehow distract the chef so that he takes longer than three minutes. Not because it’s expensive — it’s only $ 5.95 — but because that sign outside is like a challenge. However, I don’t think I’d have much hope — once that chef gets going, he’s like a runaway training hurtling down a track — there’s no stopping him. He tosses squid in flour and fries at the speed of light; there’s no way it’s taking longer than three minutes. But that’s ok, because it means I get delicious crispy squid in just a few minutes. Yum!
