About
Salt on Tamar is a takeaway fish and chip shop in Trevallyn that has quietly built a strong reputation among locals and visitors alike. With well over four and a half stars across a healthy number of reviews, it ranks among the most highly regarded fish and chips spots in the Launceston area, and the food consistently backs that up.
The potato cakes draw serious praise, with regulars raving about the extraordinary crunch on the outside and the fluffy, light interior. That kind of texture points to oil that’s properly hot and batter that’s done right, and it shows across the broader menu too. The shop has picked up recognition as an award-winning fish and chip shop, which aligns with what people experience when they visit. Beyond the classics, the menu extends to chicken pita and a kids’ menu, making it a solid choice for families after a casual, no-fuss meal.
Delivery is available, and the food apparently holds up well on the way, which is a genuinely hard thing to get right. For those collecting in person, wheelchair-accessible car parking is on hand, and card and tap payments are accepted. The shop is family friendly and popular across both lunch and dinner service.
Anyone passing through Trevallyn or staying in Launceston and hunting for honest, well-executed takeaway is unlikely to be disappointed here. Phone ahead during the dinner rush to keep wait times down.

Absolutely 10/10, best potato cakes I’ve had in my life, the crunch on them was unbelievable and they were fluffy inside. The chicken pita was also amazing. And this was delivered to me 3kms away! Can only imagine how fresh it is in store. Definitely recommend and also fantastic prices!

fish & chips.SHOP.
They really are some of the best fish and chips I’ve ever had! So good!! Takeaway only.
I have not had takeaway in a very long time. Not only do i just not eat it, I got tired of sloppy food, oily rubbish, underwhelming taste and just half assed service. I accidently found Salt on Tamar as I was doing something for a friend and a post came up about how good their potato cakes are. I started looking at what other people had written and it was ALL good so I thought “might be time to go and see about this’. So my whole family and I trundled across the other side of town and braved it! Well – all I can say is OMG and WOW. Not only are the staff friendly, helpful and patient (there were sooooo many great choices so we took a wee while). the food was mindblowingly fabulous. The potato cakes ARE the best I have ever had. The food was perfectly cooked. NOHING dripped with soggy oil. ALL of us could not speak as we were just ripping into the delicious food. All you heard in our cars (where we sat to eat it hot and fresh) were continual mmmmmm yummy and OMG delicious comments between bites. We got a differing array of foods as each of us brought something different and I can honestly, hand on heart – tell you that it is the best takeaway I have EVER had. I have lived all over Australia and this is literally the best takeaway ever! Do yourself a favour and see for yourself.
Really tasty fish burger with the lot.
Soft bun, decent sized piece of fried fish and full of flavour. Rare to get beetroot, pineapple, as well as fried egg included
Lived in Riverside all my life, never been to ‘Salt on Tamar’ until today. Was so happy with my chicken Cajun fries and cheeseburger. I will be back soon!! Plus I got a Blue V energy drink as well for only $25 all up! Ripper job
After moving from Brisbane to Launceston there was a lot of testing to find my new local fish and chip shop and to say Salt on Tamar is amazing would be an understatement.
Their calamari, chips and potato cakes are exactly what you crave with the best crunch and perfect amount chicken salt.
An absolute must when looking for fresh seafood and amazing chips!
It’s pretty busy. Came here because of google reviews, ordered snacks and then were informed that main courses will be ready in one hour only. Waited 10 minutes for our snacks and went to another place to grab fish n chips. Snacks were ok but i would appreciate if we were told about 1 hour of cooking time when I started ordering my food.
