Whether you're celebrating Happy Australia Day or commiserating Invasion Day, there's one thing for certain, many Australians love being patriotic with their proud display of Australian flags and fake tattoos, beach towels and swimwear at the beach. I'm sure many will be feasting on beer and BBQ while I enjoy my equally Aussie passion for fish n chips in the sunny weather.
Chish n Fips seems to occupy a heritage tram shelter in the middle of Coogee Beach. It's in a prime location for the beach goers passing by. The service is efficient and friendly and seems fairly reasonably priced. It's pretty basic fish and chips with no hidden surprises although the tartare sauce is quite nice. The fish fillet is on the thin side and I've had crispier batter but it's all pretty decent. Calamari rings are quite small and have about as much crumbing as calamari. They have a few salads to choose from which is good.
SNAPSHOT REVIEW:
PROS: Close to beach, convenient, efficient service
CONS: Parking, backpackers
MUST TRY: Tartare sauce, finding a shady spot
