About Auburn Catch Fish & Chips

Crispy battered seafood, hefty potato cakes, and diner-style burgers make this Hawthorn stop an effortless neighborhood staple. Generous fry packs feed the whole household with flaky whiting, tender calamari, and crunchy dim sims that skip the grease. Regulars frequently ditch the classic playbook for crisp fish tacos or smash cheeseburgers stacked with thin patties, melted cheese, and chopped onion. Quick turnarounds keep things moving for commuters dashing to the station, right alongside a side of house tartare.

  • Classic Seafood Packs: Crisp whiting, calamari, scallops, and dim sims fried with light crunch and zero greasy heaviness.
  • Burgers & Tacos: Crowds regularly skip the fryer for smash-style cheeseburgers and fresh fish tacos.
  • Swift Neighborhood Service: Speedy counter service gets hot takeaway ready in time for train commuters and evening pickups.

    Generous packs of crisp fish, calamari, scallops, and golden chips easily satisfy household dinners at reasonable prices.

    Their fish batter was crispy and well cooked, and the chip serving was generous and cooked to a perfect golden colour.

  • Expanded Burger & Fish Taco Selections

    The kitchen expands beyond traditional fryers to serve dedicated smash-style cheeseburgers, seasoned fish burgers, and tacos.

    Honestly, the best cheeseburgers in Melbourne. I can’t convey how great these burgers were, way cheaper than places that only sell burgers.

  • Speedy Service for Commuters & Transit

    Fast turnaround times make it easy for locals to grab a hot meal before boarding the train or during a delivery run.

    Last night, we were stressing about making it to the station for our train but the service was so quick, we had time to eat in-store!

  • Dependable Takeaway for Working Locals

    Local salon operators and shift workers rely on the shop as a trusted late-night dining stop right across the street.

    We run the salon across the road, so they're often our go-to for late-night dinners and the occasional Saturday lunch.

    They are true gentleman they specially prepare and chop up the fish and dim sims and potatoe cakes for my brother who has Parkinson’s.

Before you head over

Helpful advice on seating, peak times, and ordering options

  • Opt for Takeaway or Delivery

    Dine-in seating is very minimal inside the shop, making takeaway or delivery the most convenient option when ordering during peak dinner hours.

  • Expect Weekend Busy Spells

    Peak dinner times on Friday and Saturday nights can get hectic with wait times, so plan ahead or place orders early during the weekend rush.

  • Request Custom Food Prep

    If you or a dining companion require mobility or dietary assistance, staff gladly provide customized prep like chopping fish and dim sims upon request.
