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 .
