Fish & Chips in Huonville

Tangaroa Kai -Strictly Seafood - I have had fish and chips a few times from these lovey ladies, they park just down from the Globe Hotel on the Esplanade in Huonville.  They have fresh fish from Dover Wharf.  They are only there until 7:00pm and only on Thursday, Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays.  They have a web page Strictly Seafood . Keep an eye out if you want some really nice fish and chips.  Makes a nice meal to take back to your accommodation at  Riverfront Estate .

Why Is the Huon River such a great spot to fish

That's easy, the Huon River. This is a spring afternoon on the banks of the Huon River.  This shot shows why its such a great river to fish in the summer  This afternoon the white bait, a small bait fish were running up and down the river banks.  This could mean its likely to be a great trout season with this sort of early movements of bait fish. So if you are looking for some accommodation in the Huon Valley as a base for you fishing holiday in consider booking  Riverfront Estate  over the Xmas or New Year period.
