Gwelup Fish & Chips might only be open four hours a night, but the classic neighbourhood fish’n’chipper on North Beach Road draws a loyal following.

The menu is reassuringly familiar: a mix of local and imported fish served battered, crumbed, or grilled; an array of salty seafood snacks including crab sticks, squid rings, and sea scallops; fish burgers and tacos; a kids’ menu; and weekly specials such as barbequed bluefin tuna with sesame sambal tumis.

What sets Gwelup Fish & Chips apart from your standard fish’n’chipper is the details. Classics are elevated with fryers run on beef tallow, seasoning from premium Australian-owned Pep, and a fridge stocked with Aussie-made Bobby sodas and non-alcoholic beers.
