About Aireys Inlet Fish & Chips

Golden, crisp-battered catch wrapped in traditional paper parcels makes this coastal pit stop an essential detour on the Great Ocean Road. Regulars know to pull off after visiting the lighthouse for crunchy potato cakes, piping-hot chips, and flake cooked with a clean crunch. Non-seafood eaters can grab a hearty lamb souvlaki or bacon burger without missing a beat, while the kitchen whips up spicy prawn tacos for anyone craving something with a kick. Orders land fresh on the outdoor tables beside a cup of tartare sauce.

  • Butcher Paper Parcels: Fish orders come neatly boxed and labelled beside generous portions of salted chips wrapped in butcher paper parcels.
  • Beyond the Fryer: The counter serves grilled fish tacos, spicy prawn tacos, and seasoned lamb souvlaki alongside classic fried flake.
  • Great Ocean Road Pit Stop: An easy refuel spot with outdoor bench seating just moments from coastal lookouts and the Split Point Lighthouse.

  • Variety Beyond Classic Fish and Chips

    Groups with diverse tastes can order beyond traditional battered fish, choosing lamb souvlaki, burgers, and seafood tacos to keep everyone satisfied.

    I had the spicy prawn Tacos, the right amount of spice, lovely fresh flavours. My son said it was the best souvalaki he had ever had. My husbands flake was cooked perfectly, moist flesh, crispy batter.

  • Careful Paper and Boxed Packaging

    Orders are neatly prepared with fish packed in labeled boxes while chips are wrapped in classic butcher paper parcels for organized takeaway.

    The fish was neatly packed in a box, with labels explaining the different sizes. The chips were wrapped in butcher paper—thoughtfully presented with care.

  • Nostalgic Childhood Coastal Comfort

    The crispy, clean-fried barramundi and paper-wrapped chips deliver a nostalgic coastal fish-and-chip standard reminiscent of childhood trips.

    Hands down the best fish and chip shop since my early days as a kid. Perfect battered fresh barramundi and chips were great.

  • Golden Crispiness and Familiar Warmth

    The golden-brown, crispy batter and welcoming coastal counter service create a satisfying, comforting seaside meal to round out the day.

    My fish and chips had that perfect batter crispiness to oil ratio, and everything was nicely golden brown.
