Ocean Heart Seafood sits just across from the beach on Bay Street in Brighton-Le-Sands, making it a solid choice for anyone craving freshly fried seafood paired with a sea breeze view. This spot primarily operates as a takeout seafood restaurant but offers enough seating nearby to enjoy your meal comfortably while watching the waves and keeping an eye on the local seagulls.

The draw here is straightforward – classic fish and chips done well, along with generous seafood combos and platters suited for a solo meal or sharing. Expect options like Calamari Rings, Scallop and Chicken Burgers, and a variety of combo baskets featuring baby octopus, king prawns, or salt and pepper calamari. Portions tend to be hearty, making it a good stop if you're particularly hungry after a beach stroll or an afternoon swim.

The atmosphere comes with a casual, no-fuss vibe that fits its seaside location. Service experiences can vary: some locals appreciate the attentiveness, with staff sometimes bringing food directly to your table and providing cutlery even while multitasking. Others have noticed staff can be less enthusiastic in moments like photographing the seafood display, suggesting a bustling environment where the team is focused on keeping things moving.

This is a place for those who value getting hot, fresh food quickly without elaborate dining formalities. It's best suited for informal lunches or early dinners, particularly on sunny days when sitting outside or nearby feels part of the experience. Visitors who enjoy traditional battered fish and chips alongside other fried seafood will find the prices reasonable and the taste reliably satisfying, especially if timing your visit away from peak weekend crowds.

Excellent fish and chips, and great value too! Really juicy tender battered fish and perfect crispy chips. Just wonderful! Just across the road from the beach for perfect views if you can avoid the seagulls.

I went there on Sunday and had the fried fish and chips combo for lunch. It tasted really good! But one negative experience was when I was going to take photos of seafood in the show case, a staff said no and he looked a little angry. The service was not very friendly.

If you're wanting hot, traditional, fresh out of the fryer fish and chips, this is the place! Love how hot these came out, and the different variety of combos and meals they offer. Very reasonable and large portions. Would recommend it if you're in the area and wanting to eat near the beach.

The guys here were super friendly. I also appreciated the thoughtful touch of bringing your food to the table and being given cutlery while still cooking, serving and also taking orders. The service was excellent, and the grilled barramundi was absolutely delicious. I had a fantastic lunch today!
