About Sea and Salt
Sea and Salt at 709 Port Road is Whangamata’s dedicated fish and chip shop. Known for super-fresh fish in light crispy batter, golden crunchy chips, and generous portions. Phone-ahead ordering available during peak times for convenient pickup.
Find us in the heart of Whangamata, a short stroll from the main beach and estuary. We are your perfect post-surf refuel or easy family dinner solution. Open seven days a week, our summer hours extend into the evening to cater to holidaymakers. While we primarily offer takeaway, a few outdoor seats are available for those eager to dine with a sea view.
What truly sets us apart is our commitment to local sourcing. Our fish is sourced daily from the Coromandel’s own fishing fleet, ensuring unparalleled freshness and supporting our community. We craft our signature light batter in-house and hand-cut all chips from premium potatoes. This dedication to quality, from boat to batter, is the taste of Whangamata on a plate.
