About Macedon Fish Bowl

Macedon Fish Bowl nails traditional takeaway with clean oil, thin crunchy batter, and fresh seafood from the front counter. Locals bypass closer fryers for the thick fillets—juicy barramundi, sea perch, or classic flake, done grilled, crumbed, or in crisp, non-greasy batter that survives the drive home. Add a carton of golden chips, potato cakes, and a cinnamon-sugar pineapple fritter.

  • Light, Crunchy Batter: Crisp, golden batter engineered to stay crunchy on the ride home without excess oil.
  • Fresh Seafood Display: A rotating front counter featuring barramundi, sea perch, and flake cooked grilled, crumbed, or battered.

The Macedon Fish Bowl Advantage

Why Lower Templestowe locals rely on Macedon Fish Bowl for crisp, fresh fish and chips

  • Light, Crunch-Retaining Batter

    Freshly fried fillets feature a thin, golden crust that seals in juicy fish without excess oil, staying crisp even after transit.

    the batter is very nice thin and crispy and the fish is very juicy and thick.

  • Golden, Perfectly Cooked Chips

    Chips are consistently cooked to a balanced golden crispness with clean frying oil, avoiding soggy or overdone textures.

    the chips are done just right. Not soggy; not overdone.

  • Clean, Fresh Oil Quality

    Customers feel genuine peace of mind knowing the frying oil is consistently clean, keeping fried favourites light and non-greasy.

    The oils in the fryers are always clean because the food is not overly greasy or burnt.

    their fish and batter is the best I have had, impossibly crunchy (even after some time has passed) and soft and juicy fresh fish.
