Tingalpa regulars drop by this suburban seafood counter for heaping platters and scratch-made fried favorites cooked to order. Nothing here tastes pulled straight from a freezer carton—the team breads whiting on-site, shapes hand-cut potato scallops, and batters thick calamari rings fresh. Tables under the covered terrace fill up fast with families digging into feast-sized catches, while a dedicated gluten-free setup lets celiac diners safely order battered sea perch alongside chef specials like snapper spooned with coconut relish.
- Scratch-battered seafood: Whiting, plump cutlets, and thick calamari rings are crumbed and battered in-house rather than poured from commercial freezer packs.
- Generous family spreads: Feast-sized platters arrive generously loaded with grilled and fried catches alongside crisp chips and seafood salad.
- Dedicated gluten-free menu: Celiac diners safely order dedicated gluten-free battered fish, chips, and tailored seafood baskets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are gluten-free options available?
Yes, gluten-free fish and chips and seafood platters are available, with options like cod and sea perch. Some diners note that the gluten-free crumb texture can differ from regular batter, so ordering fish grilled is also an option.
How large are the seafood platters and portion sizes?
Portions are substantial. Shared seafood platters are notably generous and can often satisfy more people than their stated serving size, such as a platter for three feeding four diners. Staff are also available to help advise on the right platter size for your group.
Is there seating to dine in, or is it takeaway only?
The cafe offers a dine-in setup with a covered seating area with tables, and amenities such as self-serve cold water, clean cups, and cutlery. Takeaway is also readily packaged in trays with paper sleeves or with fish separated from chips for transport.
