The signature combination of flathead and prawns is what regulars keep coming back for, with the battered prawns earning particular praise. Flathead cooked well is no small thing, and this shop handles it with care.
The menu goes beyond straight seafood. Burgers, including a works burger that gets enthusiastic mentions, and chicken salt chips round out a classic takeaway spread.

Staff come up consistently as friendly and accommodating, which holds across different visits and group sizes.
Portion sizes vary, so keep that in mind when ordering, particularly at peak times. Overall a solid, well-rated neighbourhood spot for fish and chips in the Cleveland area. Phone ahead during the dinner rush to avoid a wait.

By far the worst fish and chips we have ever had. Only shop open in the area due to public holiday and after waiting 45 mins for just a serve of chips with calamari and fish the delay was unbelievable considering there were only 2-3 other customers in the shop the whole time we were there. After receiving our food, none of us could eat the any of the disgusting chips or calamari which was so full of oil even the seagulls wouldn’t touch any of it . Very annoyed.
Great food & customer service. Tonight my husband pointed out a board inside that has a sign saying “If you’re hungry & have no money, these tickets have been prepaid by our local community. Please take one to staff, & we will prepare your meal”. I absolutely love this! Brilliant idea & a amazing support for the community.
This little hole in the wall was such a pleasant surprise. We were needing a feed before the ferry and were left happy as a clam! We ordered the rocks deal crumbed and everything was fabulous. The crumb was light and all the seafood tasted so fresh. We also order the prawn cutlets and they were so large and handmade for sure! I will definitely be back. ☺️
We visited this store today with friends and had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious, the store was clean, and the staff were genuinely lovely. We had six kids with us, who aren’t exactly quiet, but we felt very welcome and comfortable the whole time. Prices were very reasonable too. Thank you for such great service and a relaxed atmosphere!
My wife and I had fish and chips for lunch today. Very nice and fresh as well. In addition , we had coffee also which hit the spot. Well worth the visit…
Don’t be fooled by the quiet exterior, it’s a hidden gem! Been so long since I had just decent fish and chips! Fish was fresh and beautiful, chicken salt was perfect and the burger was a classic!
