FISH AND CHIPS. Who doesn’t love it? Whether it’s fish & chips at the beach on a hot night, something to warm you up in winter or a lazy school holiday dinner, you really can’t go past a great local fish & chip shop. Battered, crumbed or grilled, we are pretty spoilt for quality options in South Australia and there’s just something about unwrapping the paper to reveal a delicious piece of fresh fish, being gently hugged by crispy hot chips (with chicken salt obviously).
Fish & chip shops are so much more that just fish & chip shops nowadays! Across Adelaide, fish & chip joints have gotten quite fancy! You’ll find burgers, chicken, pizza, even the occasional yiros! They really are a one stop shop for the whole family no matter what you’re all in the mood for. Bonus – hot chips are one of those foods that nearly all kids will eat, so at least you’ll know they have had SOMETHING for dinner!
We have done the hard work of finding Adelaide’s best fish & chip shops. Have a look below & tell us if you think we’ve missed any great ones!
FIsh Out of Water, Hyde Park
Fish Out of Water in Hyde Park serves up a delicious take on the classic fish and chips, and it’s perfect for families! The crispy, golden fish fillets and fluffy, golden chips are a crowd-pleaser every time.
Whether you’re sitting down to enjoy a meal in their relaxed, family-friendly setting or grabbing a tasty takeaway to enjoy at home, it’s a treat everyone will love.
With fresh, locally-sourced fish and a great atmosphere, it’s an easy choice for a satisfying meal that will bring smiles to all ages.
Jimmies Takeaway, Aldinga Beach
Jimmies Takeaway is legendary in the southern suburbs of Adelaide – and for good reason! You’ll find Jimmies on the Esplanade at Aldinga Beach with a nice little shelter and small playground opposite, so it’s the perfect place to grab lunch or dinner and let the kids have a play while you enjoy the view.
The options at Jimmies Takeaway are HUGE! They do everything from fish & chips, pizza, bugers, desserts, salads, sides and HEAPS more. Over winter they even serve roast veggies, so you don’t have to feel quite so guilty about getting takeaway!

The Stunned Mullet, Henley Beach
‘Sourcing local and sustainable fresh seafood has been and always will be the heart of our family business’ – says Amanda and Dino Papadopoulos. How good is that? Sold! This is not your ordinary suburban fish and chippery. Dino’s day usually starts early, filleting up to eight varieties of locally caught premium fish. Did you know that most places you’d order cooked garfish or flathead in Adelaide, it wouldn’t even be Australian, let alone South Australian?
The Stunned Mullet sure cook up a storm. Nothing is pre cooked here, you can see your fresh food on display and it’s then lightly battered (OMG the thin crispy batter here is to die for), crumbed or grilled. They also have an extensive burger and more traditional take away menu.
Barnacle Bill

If you find your self with a hankering for fresh crispy fish and chips while in the west, you’ll find Hallas on Grange Rd at Findon, just a stones throw from the beach. You won’t find a crispier batter! The oil is fresh and the shop is immaculately clean.
The family value packs were great value and you’ll find the range here is excellent – definitely something to satisfy the whole family, from burgers, salads, steak sandwhiches, fritters and of course FISH! They have multiple types of fish to choose from, all super fresh.

Find it at: Heron Way, Hallett Cove This is a great playground with amazing views over the ocean. The reserve includes a 5-way swing, tunnel slide, water and sand play, nature play, fitness equipment, shade sales, toilet, seating, shelter and BBQ facilities. The playground is unfenced, and there is a drop down to the rocky beach that parents with fast moving smaller children will need to be mindful of. There is parking close to the playground, and plenty of other awesome features in this area. For example, the Marino-Hallet Cove Coastal Trail, which goes all the way to Marino, before joining the path to Kingston Park, Brighton and further along The Esplanade. There is also the Hallett Cove Conservation Park right next door to explore and enjoy. The tunnel slide that has a slight curve to it. My kids wanted to climb up it before attempting to go down as it's a little steep. But once they went down the first time, they loved it! Be aware that if you are having a private conversation at the top of the tunnel slide then the people at the bottom will be able to hear it VERY clearly. My kids loved using…
