Why Choose The Stunned Mullet

Fresh local seafood, housemade details, and warm coastal hospitality in Henley Beach

  • Hand-Crumbed Fresh Daily Catch

    Seafood is prepared fresh daily with catch origins displayed and fillets hand-crumbed or cooked to order with light batter and hot chips.

    Hand crumbed, fresh in store is always a good sign it is going to be worth your money.

  • Housemade Tartare Sauce

    The kitchen crafts its own housemade tartare sauce rather than supplying standard commercial factory condiment packets.

    It was also good to find out they make their own tartare sauce.

  • Beachside Travel-Ready Crispness

    Cooked-to-order takeaway retains crisp, non-greasy batter and crunch even through travel time down to the Henley beachfront.

    We went for take away to eat at the beach and it's still crispy after a while since parking was busy near the beach that day.

  • Ideal Coastal Walk Refueling Stop

    Located conveniently near Henley Beach, the shop provides quick, satisfying hot meals to refuel walkers and beachgoers.

    We stopped in for a little snack during our big beach walk and tried the flake and potato fritters to refuel.

  • Personal Welcomes and Community Roots

    Owners and front-of-house staff greet locals by name and create an inviting, familiar neighborhood atmosphere.

    They also greet you by name which I think is terrific because it makes it feel like you’re part of the local community.

  • Caring, Family-Run Hospitality

    Generous, family-run hospitality shows in attentive gestures like complimentary extras and thoughtful table service.

    Fantastic service...the owner threw in a couple of extra scallops at no charge " cause they were a bit small" ...that's someone who wants to take care of customers.

  • Prawns

    the succulent deep-fried prawns made up for it. I could have eaten a dozen more.

  • Seafood basket

    seafood basket for 2 is 30.50 which is under $16 per person and the food is one of the best fish and chips around.

Are there gluten-free options available?

Yes, gluten-free grilled fish and lemon & pepper calamari are offered on the menu.

How are the portion sizes?
