About Joe’s Fish Shop

This Brunswick West chippery turns out old-school fish and chips anchored by house-battered potato cakes. Regulars stop by for crisp barramundi, golden dim sims, and crunchy chips dusted in chicken salt—often boxed up warm for an easy dinner or a casual bite at the local park.

  • Hand-Dipped Potato Cakes: Potato cakes are hand-dipped in batter in-house rather than par-cooked and frozen.
  • Classic Takeaway Value: Generous combos pair fried fish and chips with dim sims and classic potato cakes.

  • Easy Takeaway for Local Outings

    The shop is a favourite pitstop during bike rides and neighborhood strolls, pairing quick hot parcels of fried seafood with nearby park relaxation.

    We stumbled upon this place and definitely did not regret it! The fish had a perfectly crispy batter, and the chips were delicious. We paired them with local beers and enjoyed our meal at the park.

Before you head over

Practical tips on timing, ordering, and enjoying your takeaway from Joe’s Fish Shop

  • Allow Extra Time During Peak Periods

    Food is freshly battered and fried to order rather than served instantly, and peak holiday periods like Good Friday and Easter can experience substantial wait times. Allow extra buffer when ordering during peak hours.

  • Consider Calling Ahead for Pickup

    While Melville Road has street parking, phone orders are welcomed by the staff if you want to organize your takeaway before arriving at the counter.

  • Head to Nearby Parks for Picnic Takeaway

    For an outdoor takeaway meal, local parks in the neighborhood make an easy casual dining spot to enjoy hot, crispy fish and chips straight from the fryer.
