About FISH AND CHIPS ON CIVIC

Golden, crisp fish and chips done right, wrapped up for a quick dash to the Altona foreshore. The kitchen coats fresh flake and barramundi in a light batter that stays crunchy well after the drive home, draining everything thoroughly so it never turns oily. Beyond classic fish shop staples like dim sims and potato cakes, regulars drop by specifically for the rare battered mussels, while generous paper parcels of hot chips come salted and ready for the sand.

  • Clean, Crisp Fry: Lightly battered flake and barramundi hold their crunch after the drive without turning greasy.
  • Battered Mussels: A standout shellfish option that brings in patrons specifically for their mussel fix.
  • Beachside Takeout: Hot chip parcels and classic flake make an easy pitstop on the route down to Altona Beach.

Why Choose Fish and Chips on Civic

Why diners choose Fish and Chips on Civic for traditional seafood, specialty mussels, and coastal takeaway.

  • Light, Crisp Batter That Travels Well

    Fillets are prepared with a thin, balanced batter that stays crisp over transit without becoming oily or heavy.

    The batter is just nice, it’s well coated but not thick. The fish remains crispy after over 30 minutes sitting in the car.
