The Fish Shop
Owner Zoran Praja a former fisherman knows his fish. Each morning he takes delivery of whole fish straight from the local trawlers, including his son Alex, who ply the south coast waters. He then cleans and fillets the fish at his shop. He sources fresh prawns direct from Coila Lake and oysters from the Clyde River.
.
Zoran once managed the Ulladulla Fishermen’s Co-op, so thank his connections for the flathead, bream, squid, albacore, ling and mahi mahi that grace the list, depending on the day’s catch from the local trawlers, tuna boats and beach-fishing folk.
.
Fresh local seafood only a few hours from the ocean to the customer is his offering.

This Fish Shop was awarded the best ‘Fish and Chip’ Shop in 2012 and it has received many other accolades including recent impressive reviews on the likes of TripAdvisor, Facebook etc. Locals have actually claimed, that not only does it churn out “the best fish ‘n’ chips on the south coast, but some say in the whole of Australia.”
.
You can buy fresh seafood to take home and prepare yourself or alternatively ‘Takeaway – Fish & Chips‘. If the latter is your preference, then there are some good picnic spots within walking distance at Lion’s Park, which has swings for the kids, or up at the lake’s entrance.
