Great customer service, good chat from the boys. Fast turnaround around, fresh fish and extensive menu for all the additional things you want aside from standard fish and chips. Undoubtedly better food and experience than the other side of the bridge, not to mention 1/2 the price. Thanks for the extra chips lads More

Poorly cooked, the chips were hard and overcooked. The fish had a thin batter which was oil soaked, so much so it dripped through the packaging onto my car seats. More

Firstly, this is the best coffee in the area. I would say on par with Melbourne coffee. We got the breakky wrap and a fish burger (as a wrap). Both were excellent, great produce and super friendly staff. Loved that they could tell us which fish were caught from the area. Thumbs up all round :)

Brilliant fish and chips meal for our last night this coast trip. The pictures do not do justice - I was fighting the family to get these shots in before they grabbed the food. There were twice as many chip on arrival to the table - 1/2 gone in seconds!!!!
Potato scallops and fish cocktails were a work of art in terms of lacy batter!!

I was visiting narooma beach today with my wofe and decided to have lunch at narooma club around 3:30 pm unfortunate enough it was closed but an ealderly couple heard our conversation with the receptionist and recommended if u really wanna have the best south coast fiah and chips visit “blue octopus”.
5-10 mins of drive we reach this beautiful takeaway shop. Ordered our fish of the day “grenadiers”, squid with salt and pepper and i dont recall the other thing ( we ordered too much) .
Turns out i had my best fried sea food ever.
The person who works here is an absolute gentlemen and the nicest of the bloke.
Just a recommendation since the venue doesnt provides any beer. Theres an IGA next door get ur beer get your squid and enjoy
