Why it's worth checking out
Fishheads Restaurant & Takeaway presents a seafood-focused dining experience with a beach-front setting in Byron Bay. The venue is fully licensed and caters for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with takeaway also available. Its offer centres on fresh seafood, local produce, wine and cocktails, making it suited to diners looking for a sit-down meal with an ocean outlook as well as those wanting something more casual to take away.
The kitchen’s stated approach is to keep things local, sustainable and seasonal, while supporting producers, distilleries and breweries from the Byron Shire community. The food is described as modern Australian seafood, with an emphasis on straightforward flavours rather than overly complicated presentation. The menu is designed for sharing, so guests can order several dishes for the table, or choose to build their own seafood platter. That flexibility makes Fishheads a practical option for groups with different appetites, as well as couples or solo diners who prefer to choose at their own pace.
A set sharing menu brings together natural oysters with ponzu dressing, chilled prawns with cocktail sauce, salt and pepper squid, a seafood mixed grill with salad, and New York-style cheesecake. There is also a separate offer combining prawns or a seafood selection with oysters and drinks, subject to the venue’s promotional terms. Regular promotions listed by the restaurant include rotating Tuesday night themes, an oyster offer on Wednesday evenings and a daily late-afternoon drinks special. As promotions can change, it is worth checking the current details before visiting.
Fishheads suits a relaxed meal by the water, a shared seafood dinner with friends or a group occasion where ordering several dishes makes sense. The licensed dining room, beach outlook and broad service across the day give it flexibility beyond a single lunch or dinner booking. With its focus on Byron Shire produce and seafood, the venue will appeal most to visitors wanting a local, coastal dining experience in the Ocean Shores, Byron Bay area, while the takeaway option provides a simpler alternative.
