About Selfish Fish N Chips

Fresh, clean-fried seafood right along the Tweed River—served piping hot without a trace of grease. Regulars head straight for the breezy outdoor deck overlooking the water, cold beer in hand, tearing into crisp potato scallops and tender calamari. The kitchen pulls off whole butterfly prawns stacked high on soft milk buns alongside grilled snapper and generous seafood baskets. A dedicated self-service counter lets you grab all the sauce sachets and chicken salt you want without paying extra.

  • Licensed Waterfront Deck: Unpack generous seafood baskets or calamari with a cold beer or wine on the outdoor deck overlooking the Tweed River.
  • Self-Service Condiment Bar: Help yourself to complimentary tomato sauce sachets, chicken salt, and napkins from the dedicated station.
  • Clean-Fried Seafood & Burgers: Crisp battered snapper, flaky barramundi, and loaded butterfly prawn milk buns fried clean without the grease.

Why Choose Selfish Fish N Chips

Why locals and coastal visitors choose Selfish Fish N Chips for fresh seafood by the Tweed River

  • Crisp Seafood Without the Grease

    Orders arrive crisp and well-fried without excess oil, delivering classic battered seafood and chips that leave tummies satisfied rather than heavy.

    All cooked to perfection and no grease in sight.

  • Specialty Seafood Burgers

    Beyond classic fillets, the kitchen prepares specialty burgers including whole butterfly prawn burgers on milk buns and grilled cod maverick burgers.

    Simple filling on milkbun with freshly crumbed chunk and juicy prawns.

    It has a verandah out the back of the place.

  • Help-Yourself Condiment Station

    A dedicated station allows customers to grab complimentary tomato sauce sachets, chicken salt, regular salt, and napkins without paying counter surcharges.

    They had a station for salt, chicken salt, napkins, and free tomato sauce - in this day and age!

  • Convenient Parkside Access

    Convenient parking and straightforward parkside access make it easy to pick up substantial seafood baskets or casual lunches on sunny coastal days.

    Located, just off the swimming area of Tweed Heads, was a perfect location! Parking was easy, menu had a good selection.

Before you head over

Helpful tips on timing, condiments, and parking for your visit

  • Account for Peak Wait Times

    Peak lunch periods, Friday evenings around 7pm, and holiday rushes can create long counter queues and kitchen delays. Allow extra preparation time or visit slightly outside peak hours.

  • Help Yourself at the Condiment Bar

    Save on extras by visiting the self-service condiment station, where complimentary tomato sauce sachets, chicken salt, regular salt, and napkins are freely available.

  • Park in the Free Rear Spaces

    Take advantage of the 3-hour free parking situated directly behind the venue or in the adjacent shopping centre area for easy walking access to the counter and deck.
