Captain & Co Fish & Chips

Whole market fish filleted in-house and dropped straight into crisp, clean oil set this Bayside fish bar apart from your run-of-the-mill chippery. The front display fridge showcases the daily catch, ready for a golden crust or a turn on the grill. Regulars point newcomers toward the mixed grill loaded with calamari and prawns in garlic butter, while the kitchen easily pulls off Barramundi tossed with ginger and bok choy alongside house-made wasabi mayo. Fried fish comes out flaky without a trace of heavy grease, paired with thick-cut potato chips and house salads. Dedicated fryers turn out gluten-free battered fillets and vegetable tempura that actually crunch. Pull up a weathered timber table inside, or grab a family pack wrapped tight for a five-minute stroll down toward the Brighton water.
