  • Cinnamon Sugar Pineapple Rings

    Battered pineapple rings coated in cinnamon sugar offer a sweet, nostalgic side to complete seafood packs.

    The pineapple rings were battered then dipped in cinnamon sugar - so good.

  • Fresh Grilled Salmon Packs

    Healthier options like grilled salmon served alongside freshly prepared salads offer a nourishing alternative to fried favourites.

    The grilled salmon is cooked perfectly and the hand made salad is always different each time.

Before you head over

Helpful advice on wait times, portion sizing, and dietary options at Spotted Cod.

  • Timing: Expect Peak Wait Times

    Wait times can reach 30 minutes during peak evening periods, and standing space inside the shop is limited. Plan ahead or order during off-peak hours if you are short on time.

  • Ordering: Sizing Chip Servings

    Portion sizes for chips are generous, with a $7.50 order easily feeding more than two people. Solo diners can take advantage of the $2 single-portion chip packs.

  • Dietary Needs: Flourless Grilled Fish

    For gluten-conscious or lighter dining, grilled fish is prepared without added flour, and salmon packs feature fresh salad. Note that sweet potato is served as battered scallops rather than chips.
