About
Fishpen Takeaway is a well-regarded fish and chip shop in Merimbula, drawing both locals and visitors with a menu built around fresh, carefully cooked seafood. The fish arrives with a light, crispy batter and a flakiness that regulars keep coming back for, while the calamari is consistently praised for its fresh flavour and delicate crumb coating. Chips are a highlight too, cooked well and served generously. The battered sav rounds out the classic Australian takeaway experience nicely.
The shop is open seven days from late morning through to early evening, making it an easy stop for lunch or a relaxed dinner. Dine-in and takeaway are both available, and outdoor seating nearby adds to the appeal for those who want to settle in after collecting their order. Family-friendly facilities, a kids’ menu, vegetarian options, and gluten-free choices mean there is something for most tables. Free parking with wheelchair-accessible entry makes visiting straightforward for everyone.
During busy holiday periods, the kitchen keeps pace well, with family packs reportedly ready in under ten minutes without any drop in quality. Service can be brisk, which suits the steady flow of tourists and day-trippers that Merimbula attracts through the warmer months. Card and mobile payments are accepted.
With a solid reputation built on fresh seafood and reliably crispy batter, Fishpen Takeaway is one of the better fish and chips options on the New South Wales South Coast. See opening hours and the full menu below.

This was the best fish and chips we’ve had in a long time! The whole meal was fresh and salted really well. The fish was beautifully flakey, light and had a great crisp. The battered sav was also battered delicately and was yummy. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone who wants a fresh and delicious fish and chips!
Great spot for fish and chips. Fish was great, a really nice light batter so you could actually taste the fish. A bit stingy on the chicken salt.
Can’t eat in but just a few steps and you can enjoy on the beach or at nearby picnic tables.
Can be super busy during holiday season so plan ahead and order before arriving.
One of the best fish and chips we’ve had. Absolutely delicious. I just wish the staff were a bit (a lot) more friendly. But delicious food anyway.
Ordered a family pack at a busy time during holidays and it was ready in less than 10 minutes and the fish and calamari were great and crispy. Would definitely order from there again.
Food was ordinary in quality and quantity. The nearby store had better taste. Service was frustrating and unfriendly enough to look for another store when the nearby shop closes early.
Overall, a very enjoyable experience. The fish was fresh and flavoursome with a light, crispy batter. The calamari was also fresh and well cooked, coated in a light crumb. The chips were excellent. Service was quick, prices were reasonable, and I’d definitely recommend it.
No selection of fish to choose from and too much salt on the chips for my liking. Wedge of lemon was great and the fish was very delicious. I rate it 20 out of 10! It was the best. Service was fast though. The place could do with a renovation or even a spruce up.
By far the best seafood takeaway in the area , great spots to go sit not far from the business. Food is A1 , fresh, cooked well & delicious 😋
Stop in every time when in Merimbula
