Newell Beach Takeaway - on the way to Daintree

We once did a blog on the best fish and chips in the Douglas Shire. The Newell Beach Takeaway came up fairly well with the previous owners. We were going past on Saturday after the Big Barra auction in Daintree Village and stopped for lunch.

No Crowds

Port Douglas in the distance

We tried out the new menu.

Seafood Basket $19.50

The fish (Spanish Mackerel) and chips were terrific, the calamari so so, the rest not so good.

Best deal would be a piece of fish $8 and $3 chips for $11.

Pepperoni Pizza with Anchovies $18.50

The pizza was OK but had a supermarket type base. The generous serve of Anchovies made it better and it would have been better still if the pepperoni was on top of the cheese.

Going back? I would go back for the fish and chips which were very good and better than most I have sampled in Port Douglas lately.

Choochooz at the Marina

This is our first review since Covid and typically we have chosen "Fish and Chips" and a Beef Burger. Not always but very often. As a retired couple we dine out at lunch at least once a week. Choochooz did not disappoint; the burger was good and the fish and chips equally as good. Super Crisp stubby - $9.00 Little Angels Sauvignon Blanc bottle - $45 Bosworth Pinot Noir glass - $11.00 Angus Burger - $25 Battered Mackerel & Chips - $35 Payment surcharge - $1.50 Total - $126.50
