Crisp golden batter, clean oil, and old-school hospitality make this Altona North standby an easy weeknight ritual. Flake and couta arrive fresh rather than frozen—steam rising the second you break the crust. Inner west regulars build their orders around the house-cut potato cakes, fried crunchy outside with fluffy potato inside. Add a dusting of chicken salt over hot chips or opt for a grilled pack with fresh whiting and salad.
- Housemade potato cakes: Cut and battered in-house, pairing a crunchy exterior with soft potato inside.
- Catch beyond standard flake: Fresh couta, whiting, and barramundi cooked to order alongside grilled packs.

Why Choose Blackshaws Rd Fish & Chips
Why Altona North locals trust Blackshaws Rd for family dinners, fresh seafood, and classic takeaway.

Tom Harris Light Batter Fried in Fresh Oil
Customers appreciate that fresh cooking oil and clean kitchen practices keep the batter light, crunchy, and free of heavy grease.
The fish batter is crisp and light and not oily, clearly these guys change the oil regularly.
Michael Housemade Golden Potato Cakes
Handcrafted on site rather than pulled from a freezer box, the potato cakes deliver a distinct texture that stands out across the suburb.
Their potato cakes are hands down the best in Melbourne—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and absolutely worth the visit.
Rachael Baker Classic Milk-Bar Burgers
Old-school milk-bar style cheeseburgers and fish burgers provide a nostalgic, satisfying alternative to high-priced gourmet burger joints.
fish burger was absolutely delicious with the perfect amount of sauce and a simple cheeseburger that was extremely tasty like how you used to have as a child!
Dee Mets Stress-Free Family Lunch Runs
Generous lunch packs, quick turnarounds, and child-friendly options make stopping in during neighborhood outings easy and stress-free.
The best affordable fish and chips joint in the inner west. I always visit with my son when we're out this way.
Ben Fresh Variety for Shared Tables
Beyond standard fried flake, diners can select freshly cooked species like grilled barramundi, couta, or whiting to suit varied family preferences.
Took the family here for some lunch, flake was 10/10, the batter light and crispy also got a piece of grilled barra and it was delicous and beautifully cooked.

Practical guidance on ordering, peak times, and menu selections for your visit
Time Friday and Saturday Orders Early
Peak dinner service on Friday and Saturday evenings can bring longer waiting times, so plan ahead or visit on weeknights like Thursday for quick service.

Make sure to add the house-made potato cakes to your order, as they are prepared in-shop with a crispy exterior and soft potato center.
Opt for Grilled Fish Packs
If you prefer lighter seafood or want to avoid fried batter, order the grilled pack or fresh daily options like whiting and barramundi.
