Takeaway in Campbell Parade
A no-frills Campbell Parade seafood takeaway doing classic battered fish and chips a short walk up from the sand.
If you're coming straight off the beach and want honest, generously portioned fish and chips without a sit-down bill, this is the sort of old-school seafood shop we'd point you to on the Campbell Parade strip. It leans into Aussie takeaway tradition - battered fish, potato cakes, oysters and prawns by the platter - and cheerfully bills itself as the "home of the deep-fried Mars Bar." It's a fill-the-bag-and-eat-on-the-grass proposition rather than a destination in its own right.
Battered fish and chips (the shareable two-fish, one-chips deal), potato cakes and a battered sav; seafood platters with oysters and prawns for a group, and the deep-fried Mars Bar if you're curious.
Casual counter-service takeaway; order and go.
Local tip: Carry your parcel across to the grassy verge or the sand rather than eating on the busy footpath - the chips travel the short distance just fine.
Worth knowing: It's a functional takeaway, not a view or dine-in experience, and quality is standard fry-shop fare rather than a special occasion.
We confirm each venue is currently trading; hours, prices and menus still change, so check the venue's own site for those before you go.
