Freycinet Marine Farm

While the food tasted fresh, it was an atrocious 30-minute wait time with pathetic portion sizes. The service and portion do not match the high price ($30~$40/dish). It is mostly self-service, from picking up the food to clearing the table, which would be fine if there was more value for money. I would recommend the fish and chips above the other dishes. I would not recommend the abalone, as it costs $35 for 3 small pieces. Overall, the food tastes good, but don't expect to have a full stomach from it.

Fantastic place to stop for fresh seafood on the way to Freycinet National Park. We really enjoyed the fresh oysters. The cooked prawns and seafood chowder were also delicious and full of flavor. The space is open, clean, and welcoming, with plenty of seating and ample on-site parking. A great spot to relax and enjoy quality local seafood. Highly recommended!

5 star for its class of dining experience. This is no 7 course degustation, but the class of seafood is second to none. Even the flavours added are only to compliment the main star, not overbare and consume it. You can really taste the freshness and full flavour.

Freycinet, Original, Nam Jin, Kilpatrick, Mediterranean . All of them are fresh and not smelly! Really smooth and there is no bad aftertaste. Matched very well with all the sauce combinations both grilled and natural 👍🏻 Freycinet is a mixed one between shallot + perrerberry, apple cider vinegar cucumber + native finger lime and caviar + bloody mary dressing. Nam Jin is a spicy tangy thai sauce. Kilpatrick is bacon and spicy sauce while mediterranean is spinach, ricotta, sourdough crumbs, parmesan and lemon. . #aufoodies #aufood #tasmania #freycinet #marinefarm #oysters #bacon

We got practically everything on the menu. The food was hella delicious. it’s a tad pricey, so don’t expect ‘wholesale’ prices. They’re not a wholesale centre! if you’re asian, then you’re in for a treat - they have a wide selection of your typical ‘asian’ sauces to go with your food.

Foods on the pricey side but not too much to turn you away, unfortunately they were out of lobster so I had to go with fish and chips. The tartar sauce in my opinion wasn't that nice but that could just be me, we did receive an extra oyster though. Might stop in next holiday and give it another shot

Well seasoned and cooked food! The Italian guys in the kitchen are absolutely unstoppable! They are fast and skilled! It can't be otherwise in a busy place like this!! I absolutely recommend this place!!

My wife and I stopped here while in Freycinet as we were looking to taste some local seafood. We ordered the mussels, scallops plus fish & chips. Each dish was fantastic and full of flavour. The mussels were our fav with a Sri Lankan curry which was both unique and delicious. The fish had a light crispy batter and was tender and soft. The scallops were plenty and simply amazing, perfectly cooked and paired with a Turkish bread slice. Everything tasted fresh off the shore and was one of the best seafood encounters we have ever had. A memorable experience for us Sydney siders looking to relish in fine Tassie seafood.

Fresh seafood in an open space restaurant. The oysters were about half the price compared to the Melshell oysters at another restaurant we had the day before. But they also weren't as juicy and were smaller in size. Overall a good experience.

Our last stop before we made it to Bicheno was at Freycinet Marine Farm to grab fresh mussels and oysters for home. They farm mussels, oysters, abalone, sea urchin and scallops. We dropped in on a Saturday afternoon (around 3:45pm). Seating is picnic table style. There's 10 options on the menu otherwise, you can pick your seafood of choice from the display case. They also had drinks available. - Mussels ($10.00 AUD/kg) - we got a kilogram of mussels to cook at home. These were tasty. We cooked them in a white wine, garlic and onion mixture. - 2x Natural oysters ($22.00 AUD/dozen) - we got these au natural which is my favourite way to go. They were a little smaller and less plump than the ones we had on Bruny Island but still fresh. Solid spot to grab seafood, whether it's to stay or for takeout.

Well this is definitely a tourist "focused" spot and it is expensive but the food (at least for us) was very good. We liked the salmon. For $14 two nice slices of plus a good salad. Note that this is a picnic table kind of place but we showed up at 1pm and it did take a while to get food as the tour buses had just arrived. However unlike other reviewers we very much liked the oyster al naturale. They had a nice brine and great flavor. They went well with the sparkling wine served there. The Black Lip abalone was done in lemon on the half shell. It was a bit dry in parts but overall had a nice flavor. We really liked the farmed mussels in broth. They were large and flavorful. Really tasty. Overall this is one of the few quick spots on the peninsula here and if you Malte sure to go Early or late not a bad place to sample the cuisine.

Had a chance to try some abalone as well as some cooked oysters here. Excellent flavors, all caught/raised within 5km of where I was eating. Long lines and they sell out quickly so get here as soon as you can after your day at Freycinet.

Its a pity that what probably started as a genuine seafood shack has now been morphed into a tourist trap. It's not the owners' fault - they're probably rolling in cash in their Sydney or Melbourne penthouses, as they've struck the tourist trap lottery. The oysters were not shucked properly, leaving little bits of shell in them. The natural oysters were tasteless - just bland nothingness. And at $12 for a half dozen, $20 for a dozen, you're not getting a bargain eating at this "marine farm". Lightly poached oysters in soy and ginger were better, but very light flavour. Abalone roll ($25) was a big disappointment. The abalone was sliced very thinly, then grilled - which make them really tough to chew and tasteless. You need to serve abalone in thicker slices, and only lightly cook it to preserve the flavours. The bread roll it was served with was generically bland and tasteless - reminded me of rolls served as airplane food. Overall, I'm never come back to this place again, as the tourist trap disease has set in, and nothing can save it.

We visited this place on our way to the Freycinet National Park. The location was convenient, about 20 minutes from the parking lot of the park. We ordered a dozen of oysters (cooked trio, $25 AUD) and a box of sea urchin ($15 AUD). The oysters were fresh and grilled to perfection with yummy sauce. But at $25 AUD a dozen, it's actually more expensive than other oyster farms we've visited in Tasmania (we've seen $13 AUD a dozen in other places). It's good to visit if you are on the way, but there're plenty of other seafood options in Tasmania if you are looking for something cheaper.

They don't have an extensive seafood selection here, but everything looked good and we enjoyed our mussels and scallops. Also note that if the weather is cold, all of their seating is outdoor (mostly covered) picnic style. Good pit stop on your drive into Freycinet National Park. Hopefully you'll manage to order before the throngs of tourists on those massive tour buses arrive.

Delicious poached with ginger and soy - avoid going at busy times - 11:30 was perfect!

A perfect spot to sample all the good local seafood freycinet has to offer. The crayfish, abalone and mussels were particular highlights, but everything was superb. It's definitely a casual affair--you bus your own tables--but don't be fooled; this is world-class seafood. Good local wines to match, too! A must visit.

The food here is pretty good but it does seem like a tourist trap. Busses drop ppl off and they order expensive shellfish varieties. The food was pretty good. A few of the dishes are on the overly creative side so I'd recommend the more basic plain oysters over the salsa infused ones. Not a bad place to visit.

Discovered this place on the way to Coles Bay and we were eager to try it out after having a wonderful meal at Get Shucked on Bruny Island a few days before. Whereas Get Shucked only has oysters, this place has scallops, mussels, salmon, lobster and various other items when in season. We tried the garlic scallops with bread, mussels steamed with lemon, and oysters with salmon, brie, ginger and shallots. The scallops seemed a little overcooked and didn't seem matched with the garlic broth is was served in. The mussels were perfectly steamed and wonderfully tender and tasty. The oysters with salmon, brie, ginger and shallots sounded good, which is why we ordered it, but it just didn't work for us. The combination of salmon and brie just made it too salty. Though I liked the mussels, the other two items averaged out my impression of the food to just OK. It's as if they can do plain steamed just fine, but anything more complex than that is beyond their core competency.
