Plan your visitAbout Kingfish & Chips
Crisp, golden-battered fish and hand-cut seafood make this Jacobs Well takeaway counter the go-to coastal picnic spot. Regulars grab parcels of hot chips alongside housemade potato scallops—sliced thick and fried in a light batter—then walk steps over to the water's edge. Beyond the fryer, an iced counter displays fresh Moreton Bay bugs and raw prawns ready to take home. Most take their boxes straight down to the picnic tables at sunset, eating hot calamari with lemon and tartare while the boats drift across the bay.
- Housemade Potato Scallops: Prepares oversized potato scallops battered from scratch in-house rather than fried from commercial frozen packs.
- Fresh Display Counter: Stocks raw prawns and bugs in a display case for home cooks alongside hot cook-to-order takeaway meals.
- Waterfront Picnic Setting: Steps from waterfront picnic tables overlooking boats scattered across the bay at sunset.

Jane Tregaskis Homemade Potato Scallops
I got three home made potato scallops. As long as the fish. They were pretty yummy too. With a thin tasty layer of batter.
David Thorn Seafood Basket
The Seafood Basket was the best seafood I’ve had in a while with the items battered in a very light, crispy batter, crumbed items lightly crumbed so the seafood was the hero and the chips were perfect.

Before you head over
Practical advice on ordering, timing, and finding the best picnic spots nearby.
Order Ahead During Peak Hours
During busy lunch rushes or events, utilize the online ordering option or arrange your pickup time ahead to skip queues and ensure your meal is ready on time.
Head to the Waterfront Picnic Spots
Seating inside and immediately outside is very limited; grab your takeaway and walk around the corner to the scenic waterfront picnic tables and parks.
Size Up the Homemade Potato Scallops
Large in-house battered potato scallops and freshly cooked seafood make for filling portions, so balance your side orders accordingly.
