The food is what keeps regulars coming back. Flake is a highlight here, cooked so the inside stays moist while the batter crisps up nicely.

I love this fish and chips, and I feel lucky to have found this place! At first, I only ordered fish and chips, but when I got some sauce and a Coke to go with it, it tasted even better. If you want to have amazing fish and chips, you have to try this place!
Ordered here for the second time and ate on the beach. The meal for 2 deal fills both me and my partner up well and the battered sausages are so so good! Food isn’t greasy or taste like oil and the batter is fresh and the flake tastes so good! Genuinely the best fish and chips we’ve had!
Best fish and chippery in Chelsea. This time had grilled Flake, chips, spring roll which were all cooked perfectly. Brown crisp clean. Definitely my go to for Take away. Owners are very friendly and yes they do have Pineapple rings and Banana fritters. Delish.
One of the cleanest Fish and chips Place I have ever visited. The guy who saved me was very friendly and efficient and had a lot of local school bus and say hello to him. He seems like a community legend. The food is decent too! I also happen to try the matcha flavoured tea which had real matcha, bit on the sweeter side but not that sweet 😊🙌
Fish and chips is moist on inside and crispy on the outside. Sadly sauce is always extra now.
By far the best fish and chips we’ve had in a long time! The flake was beautifully fresh and so tasty with a great crisp to it. The chips and potato cakes were outstanding too. We’ll definitely be back. Thanks!
Southern Seas looked like it was owned by a local family who served my friends and I the best fish and chips on Australia Day without ANY public holiday surcharge!! I highly recommend anyone in the area to check this place out as the fish + extras were crispy and fresh. Chips could use more seasoning but willing to look past that given the extremely fast service and hard work put in on public holidays.
Lovely place to sit down and have a great fish and chips with mates. The services was splendid with no delays. Communication is great. Lovely staff and great food.
