Plan your visitAbout Kingfish & Chips
Tucked by the water in Jacobs Well, this takeaway spot turns out golden, light-battered seafood without the heavy grease. Fish is fried crisp in a delicate tempura coat, calamari stays tender, and the kitchen hand-cuts and dips its own potato scallops. Across the street from the caravan park, regulars grab packed share boxes and walk round the corner to eat at the picnic tables while boats drift across the bay at sunset. Beside the hot fryer, a retail counter stocks fresh, uncooked prawns and bugs ready for the esky.
- Crisp Tempura Batter: Seafood comes coated in an airy tempura-style batter, keeping fillets crisp and avoiding post-meal heaviness.
- House-Made Potato Scallops: Handmade on-site with a thin batter layer rather than sourced from standard commercial frozen stock.
- Fresh Seafood Counter: A dedicated counter displays fresh, uncooked prawns and bugs alongside hot fried takeaway parcels.

Why Choose Kingfish & Chips
Fresh seafood, light tempura-style batter, and relaxed waterfront meals in Jacobs Well
Crisp, Light Batter That Avoids Greasiness
Cooked to order with an ultra-light, crisp coating that lets the quality of fresh fish and calamari lead without feeling heavy or oily.
It was light, crisp, and perfectly cooked, without being greasy or heavy.
R Pom Generous Homemade Potato Scallops
Rather than standardized frozen patties, potatoes are hand-prepped and battered into large, satisfying scallops.
this time, I got three home made potato scallops. As long as the fish. They were pretty yummy too. With a thin tasty layer of batter.

What really made the experience special was enjoying the meal overlooking the water at sunset, with boats scattered across the bay and a relaxed coastal atmosphere.

Before you head over
Practical advice for ordering ahead, picking seating spots, and planning your visit to Jacobs Well.
Order Ahead During Peak Rush
Peak periods can bring queues of around 10 people or order mix-ups during rushes. Utilizing the online ordering option or calling ahead early in the morning lets you set a pickup time and bypass ordering delays.
Take Your Meal Waterfront
Seating directly at the venue is restricted to a small number of outdoor tables and chairs. Instead, plan to walk your order down to the picnic area tables nearby overlooking the water or over to Calypso Bay.
Park Off-Road or Walk From Nearby
Off-road parking is available just a short walk away, making it easy to pop in from the road or walk over if you are staying at the caravan park across the street.
