About Charlie de Cod Southport

A quintessential Chirn Park fisho that skips the scale, dishing out set-priced fillets, golden potato scallops, and diner-style steak burgers. Thinly crumbed barramundi and calamari hit the fryer without soaking up grease. Regulars count on hot seafood late into the evening and doors that stay open on Mondays, walking away with hefty parcels dusted in chicken salt.

  • Set-Price Fish Fillets: Fillets are priced per piece rather than weighed per gram at variable rates.
  • Off-Peak Takeaway Hours: Stays open on Mondays and late into the evening after nearby seafood spots close.
  • Clean-Fried Favourites: Seafood and calamari come thinly crumbed and crisp without heavy grease.

  • Open for Takeaway on Mondays

    Reliable dinner service is available at the start of the week when surrounding fish and chip shops remain shuttered.

    No other fish and chips was open on a Monday around Ashmore.

  • Extended Late-Evening Trading Hours

    Late-night operations let diners pick up hot cooked seafood well past 7:00 PM when other coastal takeaways have ceased trading.

    Thankyou for being one of the only seafood shops that actually stay open later on the Coast to serve your customers.

Before you head over

Practical advice on parking, pricing, and operating hours for a seamless visit.

  • Use Alternate Parking Behind the Chemist

    Finding a spot on the main street can be tricky; head behind the chemist or check the back streets for easier vehicle access.

  • Order Fish by Set Piece Pricing

    Unlike venues that weigh fillets at market rates, fish portions have straightforward set pricing so you know what you are spending upfront.

  • Rely on Monday and Evening Hours

    When other seafood spots close on Mondays or shut their doors by 7:00 PM, Charlie de Cod offers extended hours and start-of-the-week service.
