Off the boats this morning

Order ahead. Skip the queue.

Fish bought off the boats most mornings, and gone when it’s gone. Pick a time, pay when you collect, and walk straight past the Friday queue.

  • Fritters contain shellfish, egg and gluten. Hot dogs contain gluten and soy.

    About us

    The little chippy by the beach

    The best things don't need rushing. We buy fish off the boats most mornings, cut our chips by hand before we open, and change the oil more often than we need to. Same corner of Westshore since 1986, now run by the second generation.
