About Trawler Fresh Seafood

Virginia regulars turn to Trawler Fresh Seafood for classic fish and chips fried crisp and handed over hot. Part retail catch counter, part dedicated fryer, the kitchen turns out crumbed barramundi, golden cod, and thick potato scallops alongside beef and chicken burgers. Baskets arrive piled with crunchy chips dusted in chicken salt—built for massive family takeaways or quick street-side paper feeds.

  • Classic Fried Seafood: Flaky barramundi, cod, and juicy oysters come fried with a light batter or crumb alongside hot, chicken-salted chips.
  • Retail Catch Counter: A fresh display counter supplies raw crabs, prawns, and whole fish fillets right next to the hot takeaway kitchen.
  • Generous Feeds & Burgers: Hearty family packs pair seafood with generous beef, chicken, or veggie burgers and outsized sides of chips.

    the staff was amazing they went above to make sure they did not cross fish with other food as my husband is highly allergic to seafood

Before you head over

Practical tips on timing, portions, and dietary orders to get the best takeaway experience.

  • Arrive early for peak hours

    Peak lunch and dinner times see heavy queues, and popular items can sell out before early closing. Arrive early or prepare for a wait during busy evening rushes.

  • Plan for generous portion sizes

    Portions for chips, gems, and combo packs are notably large. Consider ordering combo packs or splitting chip orders among multiple people to avoid over-ordering.

  • Check dietary and allergy prep

    Staff can accommodate dietary requirements by grilling fish or taking precautions to prevent cross-contact between seafood and non-seafood orders for allergies or celiac needs.
