About
The Opossum Bay Store is a well-rated takeaway and local general store serving up fish and chips on the southern outskirts of Hobart. It doubles as a spot to grab basic groceries and bait and tackle, making it a handy stop for anyone heading out on the water or exploring this quiet corner of Tasmania.
The fish and chips here have earned a strong following, with regulars and visitors alike making the drive down from Hobart specifically for them. The batter is consistently described as thin and crunchy, and the serves are generous, with notably large pieces of fish cooked to order. Flathead features on the menu alongside chicken medallions, and the chicken schnitzel burger has also drawn plenty of praise. Prices are considered very reasonable for the quality on offer. Coffee is available too, rounding out the menu for a casual lunch stop.
The atmosphere is relaxed and family friendly, and the service is a clear highlight. The staff are known for being warm and genuinely welcoming, whether you are a local or passing through for the first time.
Free parking is available on site, and the store accepts credit cards, debit cards, and mobile payments. Phone ahead if you are planning a visit later in the day, as the store closes at 6 p.m.

Best fish’n’chips I’ve found in Australia!!
We just happened to stop in today and were pleasantly surprised at how good they were (being a Kiwi, I’m fussy when it comes to F+C haha)
The man there was really friendly!
Highly recommend!
Nice food and really friendly staff , fishing bait sell in store if you forget bring your bait .
Old mate working here either doesn’t care or has no idea how to multitask.
Took 20 minutes to cook some bacon and egg rolls and 10 minutes to make 5 coffees for another gentleman. Even left the coffees sitting there ready for 2 minutes while he messed around somewhere else, came back out and then put them into a takeaway tray and handed them over.
At least the bacon and egg rolls were alright. I’d have thought he would have burned the eggs given how long he was cooking for.
amazing food and customer service, german bloke that works there never misses a beat. best chicken schnitzel burger i’ve had in a while and the prices and very reasonable. would recommend to anyone even if your not local.
Honestly best fish and chippies I’ve ever had xox my partner and I will often drive down from Hobart just to get them ❤️❤️❤️ the guy was super nice and friendly
Magnificent fish and chips! Cruncy and hot chips, and the biggest piece of fish I’ve seen for a long time, cooked perfectly with wafer thin, crunchy batter. Great serving size, amazing price and service! Highly recommended if you like your fish and chips as it should be, with some of the most beautiful beaches and scenery to eat it with!
Great fish and chips and friendly service!! Super cheap for what you get and the chicken medallions are the best I’ve ever had. Fresh flathead and all food was perfectly cooked. Definitely give this place a try if you’re in the area 🙂
Extensive menu too- photos attached as I couldn’t find an updated one online.
Great little takeaway shop . Has some basic groceries bait and tackle .
