The crab meat was like a paste. I was embarrassed to have started serving them. 3 of them were opened and discarded, the rest were put in the freezer to be returned. Upon returning to Samtass to ask for a refund, they would only refund the weight of the remaining crabs instead of refunding the amount shown on the receipt. They then told me to call the office to speak to Tony, the manager, which I did. I left a message with the office for Tony to call back and have received no response. I now regret spending over $1k with them this Christmas and will be taking my business elsewhere and sharing this experience with others.

Most of the options you can find at any of the other fish mongers in the markets, however they often stock Giant Crabs, that not only taste great, but also look really cool.

Paul's Seafood is my favourite seafood restaurant in the whole of Adelaide, and is the one place I…read morecan always rely on for great tasting food. Their simple approach to restauranteering works in their favour, letting the food speak for itself and saving the customer from the bullshit. The menu consists mainly of fish and chip style dishes. Though simple, Paul's does each dish magnificently, taking the philosophy of "less is more" to heart. The fish and shellfish is fresh and well-prepared and always satisfying. My favourite dish has to be the spicy crumbed prawns - crunchy deep fried prawns with a lot of kick, and they never disappoint. For such a simple dish, I've never had better prawns anywhere else in Australia - and that's saying a lot considering the great seafood available in this country. The interior decor is simple and even a little out-dated - but I feel that this only adds to the restaurant's traditional fish-shop feel. The upstairs balcony area is perfect for balmy summer nights, and complimenting a plate of fish and chips with a nice cold beer makes for excellent dining.

The place has a really good atmosphere - they've managed to keep it down-to-earth and unassuming, but produce excellent dishes. The rawness (in terms of flavour) of each dish makes the whole experience more organic and real. You just want good seafood, and Paul's provides just that. There's a nice balcony sitting area upstairs, which is great for hanging out in summer. The place gets pretty busy, which is always a good sign.

Always busy, and often with groups, the dinner is good tasting, straight-up italian food. Mid morning and Mid arvos are always busy with friends catching up over a good coffee and often a cake (and the range is great).

This place is worth driving a few suburbs for…read more It's no Greasy Joe's - the place is bright and immaculate as are the staff in their neat uniforms. The chips are way up on the chip quality scale and the seafood is as fresh as the salads. It's not a franchise, so there's no regulation two slices of tomato per burger etc. Quality control is by the pride of a well-run family owned business. The prices are reasonable too, especially considering the tasty freshness of the salad ingredients. I honestly can't think of a bad word to say about this place, except that it shuts a bit early - 8.30pm most days. Parking's a snip - straight out the front. It's sort of around the corner at the Gilles Plains shopping centre on North East Road.

Simple, laid back and efficient…read more I haven't eaten here for years but just popped in on a whim. Place was over half full at 7:30pm on a cold Thursday night with more people coming in as we were seated. There's no pretentiousness here, either with the decor, on the menu or from the staff. They just let the food do the talking. I had fried soft shell crab as an entree and the grilled Moreton Bay bugs for my main. The sauces are served on the side so you choose whether to drown your food in them or experience the tasty seafood au naturel. Both were excellent, although for the price I would've expected the quantity of bugs to be slightly larger as most places I've been to normally serve three (six halves) rather than two of the critters. The rest of the family had the salmon and the kids meal, which was from all reports more than acceptable. I'm not sure whether they're hand cut, but their preference to serve very chunky chips piping hot is terrific, as much less oil soaks in. I know this because I didn't feel the need to wash my meal down with a lot of water afterwards which can often be the case with seafood that is too greasy. The service was very efficient and methodical and the staff friendly. What more can I say? If you're looking for airs and graces and fancy food then this isn't the place for you. However if a great meal where simplicity goes hand in hand with bringing out the flavours of the food is your cup of tea, at a reasonable price (really not much more than an average pub meal), then do yourself a favour and give Paul's a try.

The…read moreseafood itself wasn't really that great considering that all they really do is either grill, fry batter, it or bread fry it. I got some type of white fish and well let's just say it wasn't that great. I think the fried calamari that they had was excellent and the french fries were fresh. Daughtry that I ordered also came with a salad which was just shredded iceberg lettuce with a tomato on it so not that great. You know I've tried to once and I don't think I'd come back here again.

An award winning seafood restaurant on popular Hutt Street, Louca's shows you the fish filleted and prepped to go sitting next to the bar, focussing on fresh produce with bare flavours letting the seafood sing. A small establishment it's best to book ahead unless you want to sit outside or come in early. Staff are attentive, helpful and chatty and the wine list is excellent with a decent beer selection. Louca's isn't too pricey compared to other eateries and the platters are decadent. The seafood here isn't fancy, its just great produce cooked simply in a nice setting. Good for a few mates who want to do something fancier than fish and chips at the pup or from the takeaway.

There are some imported barra's and other fish on the menu but I'd stick with what you know is spectacular in your own back yard. What was nice though is that you could go from a simple "fish and chips" up to a grilled atlantic salmon or seafood platter for 2 with oysters etc. We dined on prawns, salt and pepper squid, mussels and kingfish. The prawns were a bit tough but had a nice charcoal grilled flavour and the salt and pepper squid came in huge slices that were very well seasoned and succulent. The highlight of the menu was the tomato broth mussels. A huge pot came out and we proceeded to suck all the juices and meat from each well cooked shell. All meals were perfect for sharing and it was all complemented well by a simple SA wine list. The service was nice, but a little busy at the time and overall we were impressed with the cost of our meal for the quality of the dishes - good seafood ain't cheap people! On a side note, I don't quite understand why all seafood restaurants look the same - white tiles, white tables, white kitchen/bar? As Neale Whittaker from The Block would put it - "it feels 90s and dated." I look forward to the day when someone in Adelaide does it a little differently.

I love oysters, but I have to say that Metro Oyster Bar did not meet my expectations. For some reason, their oysters were really salty-- far too salty for my liking, which may have been what they were going for, but I was not a fan. One of the waiters seemed quite reluctant to serve us, like he hated his job, but the other one was friendly, attentive, and joked around with us quite a bit. I quite enjoyed her as our server. There isn't much more I can say about this place other than how I felt it was completely average. The prices were a little on the higher end (which is, of course, to be expected), the servers are 50/50 (you may get one who hates their job and seems reluctant to serve you, but you also may get one who loves interacting with people), and the food is pretty average. Overall, I wouldn't complain about this place, but I don't know if I would recommend it.

One of these is the potato and cheese twister. It sounds like a health fanatic's nightmare. Potato covered with parmesan cheese, deep fried. Yum, but oh so bad for you! You have to try it at least once though. I also had a chicken yiros. I was actually pleasantly surprised that it was quite light. A lot of these places will make a yiros with greasy meat, wilted greens and not really take much care with it as it's all getting wrapped up anyway. I got the exact opposite. As I said it was a pleasant surprise.
