12 of The Best Fish and Chips on The Central Coast

We’ll be honest, we think that fish and chips on the Central Coast are pretty seasonless. Perfect in summer after a long day at the beach.

Perfect in winter if rugged up and watching the sun set. And actually, pretty good takeaway for a Friday night at home with a wine or two.

So where to find the best fish and chips on the Central Coast? Here’s our top 10.

TOP PICK

1. Avoca Seafoods

When it comes to fish and chips on the Central Coast, award-winning Avoca Seafoods had to be on the top of our list. This is an Avoca Beach institution and a favourite with locals and tourists alike. You can grab your traditional fish and chips but also deep fried mussel, cold ready-to-peel prawns and even gluten-free fish and chips. A winner.

2. Terrigal Beach Fish and Chip Co

Grabbing some hot chips to go after a swim in the ocean in Terrigal Beach is what summers are about. And winter if you’re brave enough. Throughout the week, Terrigal Beach Fish and Chip Co generally do $10 lunch specials, like four pieces of squid, chips and a salad. Don’t leave without trying their homemade tartare sauce.

3, Woy Woy Fisherman’s Wharf

For those who like the option of either takeaway fish and chips or eating them in a fine dining restaurant, then the Woy Woy Fisherman’s Wharf is where it’s at. This is one of the oldest fish and chip shops in the whole of the region. Ask locals and they’ll tell you about visiting when it was just a whole in the wall. But even today, this is the freshest fish you’ll find.

4. The Box on The Water, Ettalong

It might look like a pretty slick Ettalong restaurant from the outside but swing around the back of The Box on the Water and you’ll find the kiosk which offers fish and chips to go. Either sit on the beach or on the grass bank just outside for a picnic. And it’s the perfect spot for kids with a park and cycle track running next to it.
