About Bell Street Fish & Chips

Fresh off the Torquay surf, locals flock here for hot parcels of crisp, golden flake and crunchy potato cakes without the greasy pool at the bottom of the butcher paper. The clean-tiled room moves holiday rushes through with military rhythm, parceling up takeaway seafood packs to tote straight down to the beach or unwrap on the sunny outdoor deck. It ends on sea air, flaky white fish, and chips dusted with savory chicken salt.

  • Clean-fried seafood: Lightly battered flake and fresh catch served crisp and hot without heavy residual oil.
  • Seafood share packs: Multi-item bundles with prawns, calamari, scallops, and chips packed for beach dining.
  • Outdoor dining deck: Equipped with sunlit tables, ocean glimpses, and an outdoor charging point for flat phones.
