About Kippers Seafood

Kippers Seafood turns out golden, ungreasy fish and chips with crisp batter, generous portions, and sharp counter speed. Lines often stretch through the door on Watton Street, yet orders move rapidly under an orderly ticket system. Sliced-in-house potato cakes come dipped in a thin, crackling crust, flanked by thick flake and hot chips doused in chicken salt or house-made pickled onion vinegar.

  • House-cut potato cakes: Potato cakes are cut from real potato slices on site rather than pre-formed and frozen.
  • Gluten-free Thursdays: The kitchen dedicates its fryers to a specialized gluten-free menu each week.
  • Fast queue turnaround: Orders move swiftly through high-volume dinner rushes using an organized ticket counter.

The Kippers Seafood Advantage

Why locals make Kippers Seafood their top choice in Werribee

  • Crisp Golden Batter and Fresh Seafood

    Flakes, flounder, and seafood are prepared with light, crisp batter and clean frying oil alongside golden chips.

    Batter was crisp and light over a generous serve of thick fish.

  • Handmade Sliced Potato Cakes

    Potato cakes are cut and battered on-site from real potato slices rather than reconstituted frozen substitutes.

    It’s so difficult to find real potato slices in thin crispy batter vs the formed floury stuff most places sell.

  • Value-Packed Combo Deals

    Generous lunch and multi-person meal packs deliver substantial portions of flake, chips, and sides at great value.

    Bought a lunch pack for $13.50 and it came with a large flake, 2 potato cakes and plenty of chips.
