About
Aussie Fish & Chips is a well-regarded fish and chip shop in Nelson Bay, drawing in both locals and visitors who make their way to Port Stephens looking for a proper feed. The shop carries a strong reputation built on fresh, quality fish and generous portions, and the battered fish in particular gets consistent praise for its light, crunchy coating that doesn’t leave you feeling weighed down by heavy oil.
The menu covers solid ground, from barramundi and hoki fillets to prawn sticks and potato scallops, with the seafood basket standing out as the signature order. Regulars and first-timers alike tend to recommend it. There’s also a salad bar and a kids’ menu, making it a comfortable choice for families dining in or grabbing takeaway after a day out in Nelson Bay. Chicken salt on the hot fries is a popular call, and the house tartare sauce gets a mention from those in the know.
The shop takes gluten-free requirements seriously, with a dedicated fryer and chips, grilled options on a separate grill, and gluten-free sauces and chicken salt. Families with coeliac members have found it a reliable stop, which isn’t always easy to say about a traditional fish and chip shop. Staff are friendly and approachable, the kind of crew happy to talk through the menu or help with dietary needs.
During busy lunch and dinner periods, especially in peak tourist season, wait times can stretch a little, so phoning ahead or timing your visit accordingly is a good idea. Dine-in seating is available if you’d prefer to eat on the spot.

The best and freshest prawn cutlets and chips I’ve ever had! The oil and batter wasn’t heavy and soaking like some other fish and chip places. Pricing pretty good also! Make sure to try the tartar sauce – yum! Highly recommend this place.

Delicious fish and chips. The Hoki fish filet was fresh, flaky, mild with a delicious coating. I highly recommend getting chicken salt on the hot crisp fries. The two guys working that day were kind and helpful. This was a truly Australian fish and chips experience and we plan to return to try the snapper. The seating area is limited outside. It’s a popular place and the food is really good.
Great fish & chips. Excellent service! 🙂 We ordered the Seafood Basket and BBQ for One. Amazing.
We had a wonderful experience at Aussie Fish and Chips today! The food was fresh, delicious, and perfectly cooked. The owner was incredibly kind — he even gave us extra fish for the kids, which truly made our day. Excellent service and great value. Highly recommended for families!
Aussie fish and chips is honestly some of the best I have ever had.
The fish was incredibly fresh and absolutely worth the wait. The chips were perfect too, and you can always tell they are great when they come out that bright radioactive yellow. We found this shop by chance, and it was so good that we went back again the next day. The customer service was excellent as well, and the owner was extremely friendly. If you are in the area and craving fish and chips, definitely give this place a go !
