Fish & Chips on the Sapphire Coast

 

FISH & CHIPS ON THE SAPPHIRE COAST


Crumbed, battered, grilled or fried: fish and chips are a rite of summer. There are some summers you will always remember, like the summer spent on the pristine beaches of the Sapphire Coast, unwrapping a hot and salty pile of chips and crispy battered fish to be shared out near the sea, while on vigilant watch for seagulls… It’s a tradition!

WHEELERS TAKEAWAY, MERIMBULA


Fabulous locally sourced fish, and oysters from the family shed next door… cakes made by a local baker, coffee, ice creams and a load of local gourmet provisions, all with a view over the green fairways of Pambula Merimbula Golf Course.


Battered flathead? Yes please. Sweet potato chips, sea scallops, hand crumbed calamari, indeed, plus panko crumbed prawn skewers. Gluten free batter available and oysters open or unopened, straight from the local leases. Little packs of oysters and prawns with a classic seafood sauce should satisfy every post-lockdown hankering.


You can order convenient hot packs of traditional fish and chips for all tastes and numbers and dine at an indoor or outdoor table. But of course you can abscond to the nearby beach which stretches from Merimbula to Pambula, with plenty of room to get lost.

CRANKY CAFE, MERIMBULA


They’re all pretty friendly at Cranky Cafe, and if you like your fish in crispy, crunchy and light beer batter the colour of actual beer? This is your jam. Cranky’s have been refining their offerings over the years and they have it down pat. House-made batter, panko crumbs on their Calamari and Scallops, good golden colour on the chips, salt from South Australia – this is non-greasy food served up pretty fast for your post-surf hunger.


A day exploring Merimbula Lake or Main Beach is easy when you have family food like this and the green lawns of Ford Park to settle on to if you’d like a break from the sand. There are tables under cover and dogs are welcome. Or for those golden afternoons, wander down to Mitchies Jetty for a serene picnic setting. Every summer, Cranky’s open up their evening fish and chips only shop from the rear entry of the cafe.
