About Hunky Dory Fish & Chips

Craving a proper coastal fish and chip fix without the grease slick? This Bay Street staple nails the brief, slinging battered flake alongside grilled salmon paired with Greek salad and citrus-dressed fennel. Locals drop in straight from the beach or dodge chilly bay winds inside the heated dining room, tucking into tender calamari and hot chips.

  • Beyond the Fryer: From classic battered flake to seasoned grilled salmon with Greek salad and citrus-dressed fennel.
  • All-Weather Sit-Down Dining: Spacious indoor tables and an outdoor heated dining area offer shelter from coastal winds.
  • Swift Counter-to-Table Service: Fast kitchen turnarounds ensure hot chips, calamari, and seafood packs land on tables without delay.
