About
South Seas Fish & Chips has earned one of the highest ratings of any fish and chip shop in the Charters Towers area, sitting close to five stars across its reviews. That kind of reputation is hard to build and harder to maintain, and it shows in the consistency of what comes out of the kitchen.
The menu covers the classics done well. Battered, crumbed, and grilled fish are all available, and regulars note each style comes out tender and moist with the kind of crispy finish that’s easy to get wrong. Calamari rings are a signature, and the fish burgers draw genuine praise, with more than one visitor calling them the best they’ve had. Potato scallops are a highlight too, prepared in the old-fashioned style that long-time fans of the dish will appreciate. Chip serves are generous, particularly at the medium size, which is always a good sign.
The shop itself is kept neat and tidy, and service is consistently described as warm and attentive. Takeaway is available, and the venue is family friendly with a kids’ menu on offer. Free parking makes a visit easy, and the shop accepts both credit card and mobile payments. Open for lunch and dinner, it attracts a steady mix of locals and visitors passing through Charters Towers.
Phone ahead during the dinner rush to keep wait times short.

Ordered,crumbed fish,chips,prawn cutlets and two potato scallops.Perfectly cooked and the potato scallops were as good as the ones I used to get after school in the 1970’s,Was very pleased with the entire meal.
Shop presents well ordered and clean and the young lady who served me was great.
I’m pleased this fish and chip shop is here in town and providing us with a good service.
Group of five visiting Charters Towers for the weekend. Ordered a piece of crumbed, battered and grilled fish – all were cooked beautifully and were tender & moist. Potato scallops and chips were great and the verdict on the two burgers was “just like the burgers we used to get as kids”.
Two days ago we had the fish and chipss special with added squid rings. I am dead serious when I say it was the best fish and chips I have EVER had ANYWHERE. The servings were generous and so delicious. We are going back today for more before we have to leave the town. Don’t know how you do it, but just keep doing it!
Best fish burger I’ve ever had. The fish and chips were great with heaps of chips in the medium serve. Well done south seas
Absolutely delicious! Beautiful and tasty burgers and perfectly cooked potato scallops.
Absolutely wonderful fish and chips. Lovely staff. So glad we stopped here.
Fresh fish cooked perfectly one of best fish and chips I ever had and that’s something because I had fish and chips from every state and multiple places in each state quite often
Good quality fish and chips!
Ordered a crumbed and battered fish, 6 calamari rings and a half a scoop of chips. Fish was a decent portion size and it fed two people.
