About Off The Hook Fish Shop

Off The Hook Fish Shop nails the classic neighbourhood chippie craving with crisp battered flake, fluffy chips, and clean fryer oil. Ballarat regulars count on the counter staff reading orders back before firing up the fryers—no surprises when you unwrap your parcel. Beyond classic flake and thin potato cakes, the kitchen grills whiting and grenadier, or dishes out hefty lamb souvlaki and steak sandwiches straight off the flat-top. Battered savs emerge with an airy crunch, while chips arrive hot in clean paper without soaking through.

  • Multiple Fish Varieties: Offers distinct species including whiting, grilled grenadier, and thick flake alongside traditional parcels.
  • Verified Counter Orders: Counter staff double-check and verify details before dropping your meal into the fryers.
  • Beyond the Fryer: Stacks hearty steak sandwiches, chicken schnitzel burgers, and lamb souvlaki from the hot grill.

    Diners can choose between varied species such as whiting and grilled Grenadier rather than standard uniform whitefish fillets.
