    Fantastic event

    Mike_R, Oct 2025
    Fabulous fish and salads, all employees were very friendly, we totally enjoyed the evening ended too early wanted to attend a second night but our timeline did not allow

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Thank you so much for your review. I'm really happy to hear you enjoyed the evening. The fish fry is the best night on the island! We absolutely love it! You'll have to come back over again and slot as many into your itinerary as possible!!

    Prefer using Baunti...

    Maureen_H, Oct 2025
    Prefer using Baunti tours. Seems as though you are rushed through with no time to actually take things in. The dancing could be longer as I noticed that everyone was enjoying themselves.

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Thank you for your review. You are absolutely more than welcome to book with whoever you wish! The dancing is always a great time, and we love that everyone gets up for a good dance. Unfortunately as much as we would love to continue on all night, we do have rules and times that we have to abide by! I hope you enjoyed the night even though it wasn't with your preferred supplier!

    The best fish I've ever eaten

    Shelley_P, Oct 2025
    So much food. All you can eat. The deep fried fish is the best I've ever eaten. Trent Christian was a perfect MC / Entertainer. The Baunti Byuutis and their traditional dancing were lovely to watch. The sunset Orn Da Cliff struggled to impress through the cloud cover but the whole evening was none the less thoroughly enjoyable. 10/10

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Thank you so much for your review. We are so lucky we have such a great team who present at the fish fry. I'm so glad you enjoyed the evening! I always wish we could guarantee those sunsets, because when they come out, they are absolutely spectacular!

    Great night out. The best fish I’ve ever eaten and it was great to try other island dishes.

    Jeanette_R, Sep 2025
    Great night out to experience Norfolk Island hospitality. Delicious main meal and great entertainment .

    The Fish Fry was smoothly run & a great time was had by all. The food, music & the dancers were all exceptional. It was an authentic & joyful experience.

    Delightful cultural experience.

    Jim_M, Sep 2025
    Delightful setting, perfect weather and stunning sunset. Generous servings of salads and fried fish and affordable bar prices. The local dancers were engaging.

    Thank you for your review. I'm really happy to hear you enjoyed our famous Island Fish Fry!

    Lovely sunset and entertainment

    Wensie_Z, Apr 2025
    Lovely sunset, beautiful singing and entertaining dancing by Bounty Beauties. The fish fry was a nice way to end an evening. This trumpeter fish was very nice, the other dishes were average but overall still a wonderful evening.

    Response from Host, Apr 2025

    Thank you for your review. I'm glad you enjoyed the evening. Sorry you didn't enjoy the other dishes, but glad you had a lovely evening!

    Fish Fry Norfolk Island

    Virginia_M, Apr 2025
    The fish was nice and there was plenty of it. There were many island style salads which were not what we would particularly eat. But we did give some of them a try as they were part of Norfolk Island culture. The venue was good it was just a shame the night was extremely wet so we were not able to watch the sunset.

    Response from Host, Apr 2025

    Thank you for taking the time to review our famous Island Fish Fry! Such a shame the weather didn't play nicely for you to be able to enjoy a beautiful sunset. I'm happy you enjoyed the rest of the evening and tried some of our local dishes.

    Fish Dinner

    Anonymous, Mar 2025
    A pleasant night out. Maybe a tad expensive when you consider what you get for your money. $95.00 for fish and chips.

    Response from Host, Apr 2025

    Thanks for your review. I'm sorry you felt that it was just Fish and Chips. We always have a huge array of salads and local dishes as well as coconut pie for dessert. Funnily enough, we don't have chips at the fish fry!

    Island Fish Fry

    Kay_C, Jan 2025
    This was a lovely night out, with great food and a spectacular view. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the gentleman singing had a great voice and was extremely happy. There was also a display by ‘the Bounty Beauties’ doing their native dancing. You can also take your own drinks if you wish. Would definitely recommend this tour.

    Response from Host, Feb 2025

    Thank you so much! I'm so happy you enjoyed the evening.

    Absolutely amazing

    Michelle_M, Jan 2025
    Everything was excellent from when we were picked up from our accommodation , The Fish Fry and being dropped back to our accommodation.

    Response from Host, Jan 2025

    Thank you for your review. I'm really happy to hear you enjoyed our Island Fish Fry! It's such a great night, one of my personal favourites!

    Great night at Fish Fry

    Jill_B, Dec 2024
    The food, the entertainment and the sunset. The people were lovely and the setting was beautiful. We had an island singer singing original songs and dancing girls doing Tahitian dancing.

    Really happy to hear you enjoyed our Famous Island Fish Fry! Its such a fun night, and one we really love.

    Michelle_F, Nov 2024
    Held on cliffs under cover. Beautiful singing and nice dancing. The food was tasty, but not sure worth the price paid.

    Response from Host, Dec 2024

    Thanks for your review! I'm glad you enjoyed the evening.

    Not my thing.

    Tess_N, Nov 2024
    I wish I could say I enjoyed this. Certainly everyone there worked hard and seemed to enjoy their jobs. The location was spectacular. I settled in for a fun night. Trent the muso was very good but we expected more islander music, less village people. But lining up for a rather ordinary buffet with 180 people jostling for a piece of fried fish and undercooked rice took all the fun out of it. Scraping our own plates into the chook buckets took the cake.

    Response from Host, Nov 2024

    Thank you for your review. I'm sorry the evening didn't meet your expectations. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your time on Norfolk Island

    A Must Do

    Daphne_W, Sep 2024
    Do not go to Norfolk Island without going to The Fish Fry Dinner, the food was over the top in taste, and the huge amount on offer. Also there was entertainment and dancing. Best fun ever.

    Response from Host, Sep 2024

    Thank you for your review. I'm so glad you enjoyed the evening! We agree that it is an absolute must do!!

    Highly Recommended show and dinner.

    Wendy_K, Aug 2024
    The view and venue were great. The entertainment and food was amazing. Everyone got involved. It was good to hear about the history of the locals.

    Response from Host, Sep 2024

    Thank you so much for your review. I'm really happy you enjoyed the evening!

    Orn da cliff

    Meredith_G, Aug 2024
    The setting was stunning. It was so green and the sun setting through the pine trees was beautiful. The fish was delicious and it was interesting to try traditional food. The DJ made it an entertaining evening with all the old songs. I also enjoyed the Baunti Beauties dancing.

    Response from Host, Aug 2024

    Thanks so much for your review. I'm really glad you had a great evening!

    Great Experience, plentiful food.

    Kingsley_K, May 2024
    The fish was great, a great selection of salads and plenty of food (you could go back for seconds!) Terrific that local food (mashed sweet potato and banana bread) was used. Juice was one only (tropical) Music was live throughout (relaxing and not over bearing), with the Norfolk Island Choir a standout. Certainly worth the high cost.

    Response from Host, May 2024

    Thank you for your review. I'm so glad you enjoyed the evening!

    Delicious food

    Noelene_H, Jan 2024
    What a spectacular location this was! The food was outstanding and it was great to try some local specialties - all delicious. The cultural aspect of the night was good, but I was expecting more if I’m honest. It finished rather abruptly as there was another night tour that some of the guests were booked to go on. I would recommend this to anyone though - a good night.

    Response from Host, Jan 2024

    Thank you for your review. I'm really glad you enjoyed the evening, and I will pass this feedback on.

    Fish Fry

    Natalie_M, Jan 2024
    Great experience. Well organised with excellent food. This fish was fresh ans crispy and there was a great variety of sides including local dishes of pilaf, Ana and coconut bread. Lovely entertainment and spectacular views.

    Response from Host, Jan 2024

    Thank you so much for taking the time to review our Island Fish Fry! I'm glad you enjoyed trying our local dishes too!

    O What a night!

    Rod_C, Oct 2023
    What a night...one of the best nights anyone could experience. Great food and entertainment. Highly recommended

    Response from Host, Nov 2023

    Thank you so much for your review. I'm so glad you enjoyed our Island Fish Fry so much! It is a personal favourite!

    Disappointed and overpriced for what one got.

    Alan_E, Sep 2023
    It was not what I thought it would be. I was expecting a bit more seafood. It was just fish and salad to me and I was not really over the moon with the local salad additions.

    Response from Host, Sep 2023

    Thank you for your review Alan. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the evening. As the name of the tour states, it is an Island Fish Fry, so Fish is the main part of the meal to be served along with the different types of salads. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy our local dishes very much. Really glad you tried them though, as that is part of the experience. I do hope you enjoyed the music and entertainment including our Island dancers, and i hope you enjoyed your time on Norfolk Island.

    Lovely meal

    David_B, Mar 2023
    Lovely meal. Fish is so fresh. The DJ was great. Very friendly & entertaining. We felt the dancing lacked a bit but perhaps it was just that night

    Response from Host, Mar 2023

    Thanks for this! I'm glad you enjoyed the evening! The dancing certainly depends on the crowd, but i'm really glad you enjoyed it otherwise!

    We regretted going

    Val_P, Mar 2023
    It was a beautiful day yet we were seated indoors with 160 others under a tin roof. So noisy, crowded and uncomfortable. People kept bashing their chairs against us due to the overcrowding. The fish was delicious but the salads were very average.

    Response from Host, Mar 2023

    Thanks for your review Val. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the evening or the salads or local dishes. We will take your feedback on board.

    Nice experience

    Annie_S, Mar 2023
    The view and sunset were spectacular , MC great , lovely dancing , food good and some traditional dishes but a bit overpriced. .

    Peter_C, Mar 2023

    Response from Host, Mar 2023
