Great Fish & Chips. Finding a fish shop that does most things very well can be hard to find, these guys are great. Excellent customer service too - even on Good Friday when extremely busy. Will be a regular.

Great customer service. Reasonable feed, chips were fairly oily though. For inland city suburbs.. very reasonable.

Got some potato cakes and some crab sticks and boy-o-boy were they crunchy, crisp and yet still fluffy on the inside. Best ones for a long time!

Our local is seemingly under new management and more reliably open. We were wary ordering last weekend but were pleasantly surprised. The fish and chips were cooked to perfection and the price was excellent. Took around 20mins on a Friday night and no wait at pickup. Hope they are successful because we want to go back again.

This is by far our favourite Fish & Chips Take-Away place in Ballarat! The have great 'Pack' deals that are MEGA cheap. I get a Cray Stick Pack for $8 and there is enough for 2 people. (It includes Hot Crunchy Chips; 3 Cray Sticks; and 3 Potato Cakes.) And YES they have hot POTATO CHIPS! There is a wide variety of traditional 'Fish & Chips' at a very reasonable rate! This store is very clean! Staff are always polite! You are able to phone orders through - which is a good tip for when you are driving there and you know what you want to order! Be careful to get there before 8pm though as that is when they close!
