About Mermaid Fish And Chips

Mermaid Fish And Chips delivers proper golden takeaway in Thomastown, frying up hand-cut potato cakes and fresh battered flake that skip the greasy aftermath. Nostalgic burgers come stacked tall with beetroot, while the onion rings use real sliced onion in crisp batter rather than minced shortcuts. Chips arrive piping hot with plenty of chicken salt, rounded out by bottled cokes and deep-fried Mars bars.

  • Hand-cut potato cakes: Prepared on-site rather than poured from a commercial freezer bag, leaving a fluffy center inside crisp batter.
  • Real onion rings: Battered rings made using whole sliced onion rather than reconstituted minced onion.
  • Monday trading: Open for hot takeaway orders on Monday nights when peer suburban fish and chip shops remain closed.

Why Choose Mermaid Fish And Chips

Freshly prepared fish and chips, hand-cut classics, and reliable neighborhood service.

  • Hand-cut potato cakes made in-house

    Unlike standard shops that fry frozen pre-formed slabs, Mermaid prepares real hand-cut potatoes in crisp, light batter.

    potato cakes are hand cut too I have been told (you really can taste the difference to be fair..)

  • Real whole onion rings

    House-made using whole slices of onion instead of minced or reconstituted frozen loops.

    Best onion rings with real onion and not processed stuff.

  • Crispy takeaway without the heavy aftermath

    Customers experience classic takeaway comfort without the oily, weighed-down feeling that typically follows fried takeaway.

    Fresh and crispy each time we’ve eaten here. Not left with that sick feeling after fish and chips!

  • Nostalgic burgers and traditional staples

    Delivering authentic childhood fish and chip memories complete with traditional touches like beetroot on classic burgers.

    What really shocked me was the hamburgers! Just like I remember as a kid growing up! Thank you for allowing beetroot!

  • Open for Monday night takeaway

    Mermaid trades on Monday evenings when most peer fish and chip venues are closed, providing a reliable hot dinner option.

    Still glad it was open as most F n' C shops are closed mondays.

  • Value that outmatches fast-food chains

    Substantial portions and full meal combos that rival major chain prices while offering fresh cooked-to-order food.

    A burger with the lot, chips and a can of drink is the same price you pay for a shitty McDonald’s meal that would cost them a fraction of the cost to make.
