About East Beach Fish and Chips

Crisp, golden coastal takeaway steps from the Port Fairy waterfront makes East Beach Fish and Chips an easy oceanside pick. The counter keeps things straightforward with an a la carte board instead of set family packs, letting you tailor the haul to your appetite. Regulars point to the light, non-greasy batter hugging fresh blue grenadier and whiting, paired alongside crunchy chips and fluffy potato cakes. Beyond the standard deep-fryer fare, the kitchen runs marinated grilled squid alongside house-made burgers stacked with beetroot and egg. For a proper milk-bar spin, order the cheese-stuffed kransky dipped in batter, wrap the parcel in butcher paper, and head forty meters down the road to eat by the water.

  • Fresh Coastal Fry: Light, non-greasy batter coating fresh catch like blue grenadier, whiting, and scallops served in traditional paper.
  • Beyond the Fryer: Skip set combo boxes with an entirely custom a la carte menu, rounded out by marinated grilled squid and cheese-stuffed kranskys.
  • Nostalgic Seaside Staples: Fluffy potato cakes, South Melbourne dim sims, and homemade burgers with the lot, just footsteps from East Beach.

    Alongside classic fried fish, fresh squid and calamari are prepared grilled on the flat top for a smoky, tender alternative.
