Looking for the best fish and chips in Coffs Harbour? There’s nothing better on a sunny day than eating fish and chips by the water (even if you do have to fight off enormous seagulls).  We are spoilt here in Coffs Harbour with so many beautiful picnic spots making it the perfect choice to enjoy a family meal out.  Being by the water also means we know that our seafood is freshly caught from the ocean.

It is widely known that Australia produces some of the best seafood in the world and Friday night Fish n’ Chips is still also a long time tradition in many Aussie households.  Despite what one might assume though, not all fish and chips are created equal.
