Welcome to The Jetty Seafood Shack

The team at the Jetty Seafood Shack would like you to know that this is not a fast food establishment. We prepare all food to order using the freshest and best quality ingredients available. At busy times the wait for your meal may be up to 30 minutes or more. We would like our customers to know that we are always working as efficiently and hard as possible to keep the waiting time to a minimum and we will advise you of the estimated waiting time when you place your order. You may like to place a phone order, or preorder your meal to be ready at an approximate time.

We have a BYO license; you are welcome to relax outside at our tables and chairs to wait for or enjoy your meal where you will enjoy the view of the marina and river. While you wait, a short walk will allow you to appreciate the natural beauty of our part of Kalbarri.

Guarantee: We endeavour to use only locally caught fish, but availability is subject to prevailing weather conditions. So we do have to use fish from around Western Australia, though we try to keep to species caught in our region. Fish is never substituted – our customers get exactly what they order and pay for. Portions are about 140 grams per serve. Variations in size will occur depending on the species of fish.

Frequent Fisher Card: We are keen to recognise and reward your choice to buy quality take away meals from our business. We encourage you to obtain your Frequent Fisher Card when you first come to our shop and to ask our staff to endorse it everytime you buy a meal – bonus credits will soon accumulate. Plus you can use the same card at both of our locations – Kalbarri and Shenton Park!

Your suggestions and feedback are very welcome. If there is anything we can do to improve please let us know, and if we have met your expectations then we thank you for telling others.

Healthy Eating

For most people Fish & Chips is food that should be enjoyed as a treat rather than a regular meal. This is because of the high carbohydrate and fat content of the meal (batter, oil and chips), rather than the fish, which is of course rich in essential nutrients (protein, and good omega oils). We agree with this, and have put together a menu that gives our customers choice. Here is a list of the things that we do that can influence the choices you make when eating at the Jetty Seafood Shack:

 Our fish is from the pristine ocean waters of Western Australia;

 Our chips are produced in Manjimup WA, precooked in vegetable oil, with no added sugars, salt or animal fats;

 We cook our food in rice bran oil that is cholesterol free, works to reduce bad cholesterol, halal and kosher certified, and is cleaned and changed frequently;

 Deep fried food is cooked in hot oil and given time to drain before being served – this of course doesn’t mean that more oil will not drain onto the wrapping paper;

 We buy prepared food products that are of the best quality and retain the minimum amount of oil;

 Fish can be served grilled or crumbed instead of battered. Grilled fish can also be seasoned with lemon pepper or cajun spices, and is cooked with the minimum amount of oil, served on a small tray with lemon and parsley. Crumbed fish is dipped in egg & milk, crumbed, deep fried and well drained. Crumbed fish appears to retain much less oil than battered fish;

 Fresh salads are made at the Jetty Seafood Shack and are available to accompany your meal, perhaps reducing the amount of chips you need to order;

 Chips do not automatically come with fish or burgers, giving our customers the choice about whether they want chips, and if so what quantity;

 Burgers are served in multi grain buns, filled with unprocessed quality ingredients such as chicken breast, sirloin steak etc, and fresh salad. Minimum oil is used in the cooking process, and the bun is not buttered.

We want you to feel confident about the quality of food that we prepare and serve. Any feedback and suggestions are gladly received.

Fish from Western Australia is in general, premium table fish, sold to the best restaurants or exported. This means the fish may be more expensive than fish from other regions in Australia, and is definitely more expensive than imported fish. We now know that fish is good for our health, but quality fish is not a cheap meal, with many species are considerably more expensive than fillet steak.


We appreciate your business.
