About Heathcote Fish & Chips (NSW)

Crispy battered fish, thick-cut chips, and golden potato scallops make this roadside takeaway along the Princes Highway an essential pit stop. Regulars pull over for generous portions cooked to order without the grease slick. The fryers turn out snapper and John Dory cloaked in thin, crunchy batter, alongside scratch-made tartare sauce. For the chips, the counter layers chicken salt before and after the fish is packed—ensuring seasoned crunch from top to bottom.

  • Award-Winning Potato Scallops: Potato scallops are freshly battered and deep-fried on order, recognized with regional awards.
  • Scratch-Made Sauces: The kitchen prepares its own specialty burger sauces and tartare in-house rather than using commercial packets.
  • Layered Seasoning Method: Chips are seasoned before and after boxing so the chicken salt coats evenly from top to bottom.
