This is a fantastic Fish and Chip Shop on the waterfront. Best time to go is early evening and then take a walk along the waterfront. Lunch 1.30pm go earlier to eat then stay and watch the Pelicans being fed the fish heads. Then come flying in from all over. The kids will love it! Closed on Monday. The kids can also have a swim right outside the fresh fish store in a warm lagoon, so take togs.
