Book NowAbout Oceana Traders - Seafood Merchants
Old-school seaside takeaway meets wet-fish merchant on Old Barrenjoey Road. Hand-cut chips—thick, crisp, and seasoned with sea salt—ditch the freezer-bag shortcuts of standard coastal chippies. Pick your catch fresh from the display case, then specify grilled barramundi, crumbed flathead, or cod dipped in light beer batter. Salt and pepper squid accommodates gluten-free diners, while takeaway packs are built for crossing the street to eat right on Avalon Beach alongside house tartare.
- Hand-Cut Chips: Cut fresh on site and fried crisp with sea salt rather than commercial frozen fries.
- Cooked-to-Order Catch: Choose fresh fillets like barramundi or flathead, prepared grilled, crumbed, or in light beer batter.
- Beachside Takeaway: Packs travel easily across the road for seaside picnics on the sand or nearby lookouts.

The reassuring comfort of authentic, unadulterated fish and chips crafted with real potato chips and clean, non-greasy cooking.
As a Brit trying to find authentic fish and chips in Aus, this comes very close! The fish was tasty and not greasy.
J J Excursion-Worthy Coastal Dining
A destination-worthy coastal seafood meal that rewards long drives across Sydney with generous portions and standout preparation.
After the meal at the local beach though, we thought it was worth the long drive across town and back to Western Sydney.
