Flathead a Fine experience.

Flathead  Fish mongers and Fish Cafe, located 4 main road south Hobart, a pleasurable experience to say the least. A small restaurant  rather than just a cafe,so bookings definitely recommended. Tables for two to a largish group can be catered for.A clean, tidy modern dining room, with candle lit tables making it great for dinner for two.

 Although fresh fish is sold on the premises, that fish shop smell is not there, the seafood available is well displayed and looks very fresh.

The menu contained only seafood dishes, entree and mains, with a good variety in each. The oysters were about as fresh as possible and we were told had been shucked only 1 hour earlier. 1/2 a dozen for $15.90. The prawn and chili kebab, another entree, available at $4.50 each, were cooked just right, not to much chili but enough for the average person.

Mains are most reasonably priced for the excellent quality that is served to you, I simply had to have 'The Lot' which had scallops, calamari, a Thai fish cake and piece of battered blue eye. The batter light and cooked to perfection as was everything. other mains available included Sri Lankan yellow fish.curry at $27.90. Fish of the day, grilled fish for a healthy option and also Pirates Bay octopus, char grilled.

I'm a fussy person when it comes to the drinks menu, but I found the wine list contained a good variety and even had the good old 1/2 or full carafe of wine. Most wines were available by the glass, which is a rare find. A variety of beers were available as well as a cider from Ireland either apple or pear.

Desserts, if you can fit one in, are mostly $7.50 all served with ice cream (the good quality yummy ones).

 Table service was prompt, with out waitress being most friendly, I would give this dining experience a 4 out of 5 and highly recomend you visit.
