Our Seafood

At Sweetlips we believe there is nothing better than freshly cooked fish and chips caught in the pristine waters off the Western Australian coast.

WA-caught, always

We only use fish and seafood caught in Western Australia. We support local fishermen and the WA seafood industry. Our fish comes straight from the boat to our store. We never freeze it.
