About
Skippers Take Away has earned a solid reputation as one of Umina Beach’s most reliable fish and chip shops, drawing regulars from across the Central Coast peninsula for its fresh, hot food and friendly counter service. The menu centres on classic favourites, with the fish and chips consistently praised for crispy batter, generous serves of thick chips, and quality fish options including hoki, flathead, and shark (flake). Burgers and chips with gravy also get a good run, and the scallops have their own loyal following.
The shop sits on Umina’s main street and operates for both lunch and dinner, with dine-in, takeaway, and delivery all available. It’s a family-friendly spot with a kids’ menu on offer, and a wheelchair-accessible entrance means the whole group can get in without a fuss. Reservations are accepted, which is handy given how busy the place gets, particularly on warmer days when the kitchen is turning out fresh meals at a solid pace.
Service can be swift on quieter shifts, though peak periods can stretch wait times out a little, so phoning ahead for larger orders is a smart move. Alcohol and cocktails are available on site for those dining in. With 271 reviews behind it and a well-rated track record, Skippers is a longstanding fixture on the Umina Beach dining scene.
Phone ahead during the dinner rush to keep your wait to a minimum.

An iconic fish and chip shop on the Main Street of Umina. Excellent service and seafood, however the chips didn’t taste hand cut like they used to be. Otherwise a great takeaway joint!
Excellent original fish and chip joint, fat thick chips, fresh fish, churchy scallops and great burgers, a regular for us. Best on the peninsular.
Great fish and chip
First time we have been
Crispy batter delicious hoki, flathead and shark, and really good thick chips
Definitely going back
My own mushy peas
Ordered lunch packs and a fish burger. Food was decent for the price you are paying. Panko calamari rings were fresh & good 👍. Paid for the homemade tartare sauce and was pleased to see there was enough to share between the lunch packs and not the pitiful squeezy masterfood ones.
Great fish cocktails. Staff looked liked they needed a much awaited holiday. Keep up the good work.
The fish and chips were hot and very tasty and because they only had small calamari left they gave extra.
Everything we got was really tasty and fresh (hamburger, chips and gravy). Definitely recommend if you’re after fish and chips.
Delicious, speedy, and friendly. This business was workong in 40 degree heat, so busy, and made everything fresh in 20 mins! 5 star team and food was so fresh 😋
