What customers say?

“ Best fish and chips in the east! Service was great but the food was better. It was super busy when we came in but they are so well organised and efficient food came out way quicker than expected. Might just turn into our weekly take out. It’s a hidden gem that’s for sure. ”

“ Not sure why this place has not got a 100% score of 5 stars. The F&C's here are excellent. Fresh, tasty and crisp batter/fries. The boys were open on Good Friday and prepared a great lunch for me to take home. Thanks guys and keep up the good work - it's greatly appreciated! ”

- Phil Le Blanc -

“ Fish is well made and price is reasonable. Portion was more than enough for one man. Would recommend anyone to try. ”

- Jack Purka -

“ I had a simple order for two. Whiting, potato cakes and chips. I had not been to this place for more than 4 years as I was dissappointed with the quality under the previous owner. It's under new management and the place is clean and bright. Fish perfectly cooked by a professional, and everything crisp and not soggy. There was a slight confusion with the order (thought fish cakes) and it was fixed immediatly without question. I will be going again soon. Reasonably priced - Thank you. ”

- Neil McFarlane -

“ Old skool Greek style fish and chips. Guess they're a Lebanese family though (Not sure). Really friendly service. No frills, none required. Everything I tried is great value. Been my go to take out while visiting Melbourne. All the old favorites, souvlaki, burgers, all the local Melbourne fish. Tasty! ”

- D. RB -

“ New owners. Have tried fish and burgers with chips. Chips were crisp, no oily taste with the light dusting of salt which we prefer. Batter was light and the fish moist. The burgers were the nicest we have tasted in a long time. Return visits a certainty. ”

- Blossom -

“ Talking about a nice serving of fish, this place has it with a full range menu, the batter is mixed perfectly a genuine place for takeaway fish & chips ”

- Rob the Nomad -

“ Old school fish shop which brings back the memories of wonderful childhood days. Chips are done proper & any fish on the menu can be recommended. The steak sandwich is a a must try. Only knock from giving a 5 star rating is the cash only policy. ”
