About Apollo Seafoods

Break up the long Great Ocean Road drive with golden, crackling fish and chips served with generous warmth. This vintage Colac counter fries up crisp flake alongside breadcrumbed fresh fillets and thick 200g porterhouse steak sandwiches straight off the flat-top. Road-trippers often walk away with unexpected extras tucked into their parcels—think hot handfuls of chips or a slab of fish on the house. Grab a tub of rich gravy for dipping or pair your order with a cold burger with the lot.

  • House-Crumbed Fish: Breadcrumbed fillets fried crisp outside while keeping the fish tender within.
  • Porterhouse Steak Sandwich: A 200g cut served juicy with the lot right off the hot plate.
  • Great Ocean Road Refuel: A go-to pitstop for travelers returning to Melbourne via Colac, known for generous bonus bites.
