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.

Why Choose Auburn Catch Fish & Chips

Discover why Auburn Catch is Hawthorn's trusted neighborhood fish and chip shop.

  • Generous Family Packs & Classic Seafood

    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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Auburn Catch serve more than classic fish and chips?

Yes. While classic battered and grilled fish and seafood packs are core, popular items include cheeseburgers, special fried fish burgers, fish tacos, and chicken wraps.

Can you dine in, or is it primarily takeout?

Seating inside is very limited, making takeout or delivery the most convenient choice, though staff accommodate quick eat-in visits when space permits.

What should you know about portions and wait times?

Portions are generous, with packs and small chips easily feeding extra diners. Ordering in person or taking out is quick and recommended over delivery apps, though weekend rush times can bring a brief wait.
