On Keilor Road, this takeaway avoids heavy oil in favor of clean frying—delivering flake in a light, crisp batter and hot chips without grease. The fryers also turn out real sliced potato cakes, vegetarian dim sims, and fish tacos, while the grill handles stacked house burgers like the bacon-loaded SALV8.
- Clean, light frying: Flake arrives in an even, crisp crust cooked in clean oil without leaving grease on the paper.
- Sliced potato cakes: Cut from whole potato rather than molded mash, delivering a balance of crisp batter and tender potato.
- Specialty burger program: A dedicated burger roster led by favorites like the double bacon and cheese SALV8 and the Big Zoff.

The Reasons to Choose f’nc fish ‘n chips
Why Essendon locals choose f’nc for fresh seafood, signature burgers, and traditional sides
Clean Frying Without Greasy Residue
The flake and chips are evenly coated in light batter and fried in clean oil, leaving no greasy or oily residue.
Everything was cooked perfectly — fresh, clean, and not greasy at all, which is exactly how it should be.
Lia Do Traditional Sliced Potato Cakes
Potato cakes are prepared using real sliced whole potato in crisp batter rather than standard pre-formed mashed patties.
Potato cakes are the sliced kind not the mashed and are battered just right.
Dylan Griffiths Relief From Heavy, Oil-Soaked Takeaway
Meals avoid the heavy, oil-logged texture typical of fried takeaways, allowing diners to enjoy crisp fried seafood comfortably.
The quality of food is fantastic and fresh, not greasy like a lot of fish and chip shops out there that make you feel sick later on.
Anthony Del Mastro Warm and Reliable Local Hospitality
Attentive, warm counter service and welcoming hospitality eliminate the typical friction of takeaway orders.
The team was extremely nice and always greet me with warmest smile and even remember my tricky burger recipe!
Slayuall Specialty Burgers Built to Order
A dedicated burger program featuring craft options like the SALV8 and F'n Cheesey provides an elevated alternative to fried fish.
The bun was soft and moist and the condiments all melded together seamlessly with their special sauce.
Samantha Smith Tender Calamari and Specialty Sides
Elevated takeaway accompaniments include thick-cut, tender calamari and fish tacos prepared fresh alongside classic fried items.
The calamari was of high quality, not that fake rubbery stuck others pass for calamari. It was melt in your mouth buttery and thick portioned too.
