Why Choose Editas Fish 'N' Chips
Why locals and visitors seek out Carlton North's Polynesian-inspired fish and chip shop
Fresh Battered Fish Burgers with House Dill Tartare
The signature Editas fish burger features thick, freshly battered daily fish on a soft roll, finished with an herbaceous house-made dill tartare that balances rich crispness with vibrant tang.
The Edita’s fish burger was outstanding — perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside. What really set it apart was the hint of dill that subtly popped through and elevated the whole burger without overpowering it.
Jess Hand-Cut, Triple-Cooked Chippy Chips
Potatoes are cut by hand on-site and fried three times, resulting in chips that boast fluffy, pillowy interiors and crisp golden edges without greasy oil soak.
Hand-cut and triple-cooked, they have a uniquely soft, almost fluffy interior and delightfully crispy edges.
IL Melbourne Foodies Distinctive Polynesian and Pasifika Specialties
Beyond classic chippy staples, the menu highlights Pacific Islander heritage with chop suey dim sims, sapasui spring rolls, and fresh oka.
They have those hand cut chippy chips like the UK chippys, the chop suey spring roll and dim sim were also great.
Kane Flavorful, Generously Loaded Prawn Tacos
Juicy, generous prawns fill crisp tacos paired with vibrant sauces and crisp produce for an elevated, punchy alternative to traditional fried fare.
Loaded with big, juicy prawns. They’re filling, packed with flavor, and somehow still leave you wanting another round.
ongo charles Easy Takeaway Feasts for Nearby Park Picnics
A short walk from nearby neighbourhood parks and playgrounds, the shop’s generous packs and boxed burgers make outdoor park picnics effortless for families and groups.
One thing I’d highly recommend if visiting with kids is grabbing takeaway and heading to the nearby park a short walk down the street. I did exactly that and it worked perfectly.
Jaz Explores Convenient Evening Takeaway for Late Cravings
Offering generous portions and fast service through late dinner cravings, Editas serves as a reliable Carlton pit stop for hearty pre-travel and evening meals.
It’s late at night and we have craving so we decided to order something easy and still open to grab before going to airport.

Before you head over
Practical timing, seating, and ordering advice from local diners
Visit on Weekdays to Skip the Lines
Lines and kitchen wait times can stretch to 30 minutes during peak weekend rushes, so plan your visit on a weeknight like Wednesday or Thursday to dodge the longest queues.
Grab Takeaway for Nearby Parks
Indoor seating fills up quickly, making takeaway ideal. Walk down the street to the nearby fenced playground park or head across to the gardens to enjoy your meal outdoors.
Grab Extra Napkins for the Burgers
The famous fish burger is generously dressed with house-made dill tartare, making it a delightfully messy meal, so be sure to grab extra napkins or cutlery when ordering.
