Very delicious Fish and Chips. Super convenient with the parking close by. Our batch seemed a bit under fried compared to our friends but more of a personal preference though. Would recommend!! It was also quite entertaining to watch them feed the pelicans

I came to Bub’s with a serious craving for some classic Nelson Bay-style fish and chips.
Originally, I had a couple of other spots in mind, but they were both closed—so Bub’s became the choice of the day.
On a horrible, windy, rainy day—the perfect weather for a hot, hearty meal—it felt like a ghost town around the area.
Service was quick, and the food arrived just as fast.
I ordered the barramundi, which came out with a beautifully crispy batter (and of course, the mandatory sprinkle of chicken salt). The fish was cooked perfectly—tasty, flaky, and fresh. The chips, however, were a bit of a miss—not terrible, but not as good as the fish deserved.
Parking was easy, with spots available right out the front.
I can imagine this place would be buzzing on a sunny day, with harder-to-find parking and longer wait times—a good sign of a popular local spot.
I’d definitely come back—next time, hopefully with better weather and maybe a bigger appetite

Great place to have your seafood lunch. The fish & others are really cooked well and fresh. Only the lobster and crab not to my expectation. Definitely will come again

It's very rare that we don't dine in here when visiting Nelson's Bay waterfront area. The food is pretty good here.
Can get pretty busy, also the place is very cosy.
