Freycinet Marine Farm

Oysters were good, I still prefer the Bruny Island ones but these were still fresh and also great price at $28/doz. Abalone was nice and tender. Scallops were the small Tasmanian scallops, the sauce was very tasty, with a thick slice of bread that was super saturated in butter and sauce, it was so crispy and soft! Also tried the Moules Mariniere mussels, the sauce was great, they were the tiny black Australian ones and I don't know where they source their mussels but these were the freshest and sweetest mussels I've had in Australia! Every dish was about $30 each.

One of the most iconic seafood restaurants in Tassie. The entire outdoor seating area's floor is made up of oyster/mussel shells. Food was exquisite. We got 6 oysters with a fresh lemon, moules mariniere and Tasmanian scallops. The seasoning and sauce of the mussel dish was the best I have had anywhere so far (and I've tried the same dish in several places around the world, especially France). Would come back there without hesitation as the quality was just superb. Keep up the great work!

Came early and shop was already busy. Don't miss out on the mussles, they were my favourite with bread to soak up the remaining sauce. The scallops were succulent and sauce was light which complemented the scallops well. The mediterranean oysters had too mich breadcrumb which overpowdered the oysters so would that a miss.

After a brilliant couple of hours on the oyster bay farm tour (which I can't recommend enough if you like oysters) we stopped in the restaurant for some scallops and chips - they were the best and the cheapest we had during our time in Tasmania - a must try!! We had the oysters and the mussels during the tour and both were exceptional - not possible to be any fresher

The oysters they serve are huge and 200% freshness! Loving the environment too. We went early in the morning so no crowds no waiting! Definitely will come again if we re-visit Tasmania.

We had a variety of the oysters, mussels and the scallop plate with chips. All incredible, tasty and fresh. The only disappointment was the bread served with the mussels, I'd love a basket of warm sourdough and butter to mop up the delicious mussel sauce, instead it was a crappy aeroplane style bread roll. Would be a lovely lil extra. Plenty of tables when we arrived just before midday. Definitely a must do for lunch when visiting freycinet.

Amazing seafood at fair prices. The oysters were fresh and delicious. The scallops are also highly recommended! The only non-seafood dish we tried, the chips, were also very tasty and crispy, and went very well with the scallops

We stopped here after a morning of hiking wineglass bay and mount Amos. The sun was shining and it was packed. We queued up to order our food. We got 12 oysters, mussels and chips. I have to say we were blown away by how fresh and delicious it all was. It was perfect for what we wanted after a tiring morning. Very laid back chilled vibes for a casual lunch.

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.
