Their fish isn’t that great - just the battered variety - but there are other shops that have a good selection of fresh fish, grilled or fried, in the area.
Potato scallops: takeaway food shop between Bakers Delight and IGA in Gymea 2227
Fish and chips (they do reasonable scallops too): Notaras on The Kingsway, Cronulla 2230
I've never heard of such a thing until recently. Potato fritters is what us Kiwis call them. Like a pineapple fritter. Or do you call those pineapple cakes too?
