About Editas Fish 'N' Chips

This Carlton North takeaway spot pairs classic chippy fare with Polynesian soul. The signature Editas burger stacks crisp hand-battered fish, melted cheddar, and house dill tartare onto a soft potato bun. Thrice-cooked chips deliver pillowy centers and crunchy edges, while the kitchen rolls out sapasui spring rolls alongside big prawn tacos. Expect queues out the door on weekends—weeknights offer an easier grab-and-go route before heading down Rathdowne Street.

  • The Editas Burger: Hand-battered daily fish on soft potato rolls loaded with dill-flecked house tartare.
  • Polynesian Specialties: Sapasui spring rolls and seasoned dim sims celebrate Pacific Islander culinary traditions.
  • Thrice-Cooked Chips: In-house cut potatoes fried three times for soft centers and crisp edges.

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
