About Peter's Fish Shop

Peter's Fish Shop delivers nostalgic takeaway staples alongside spit-roasted lamb souvlakis right on McLennan Street. Long-time regulars rely on the family-run counter for crisp potato cakes, fried dim sims, and hot chips that hold heat long after leaving the shop. A stocked bain-marie keeps savoury bites ready for drivers passing through regional Victoria on tight schedules, while made-to-order grilled fish and burgers cater to relaxed sit-down lunches. It remains an old-school fixture where hot takeaway comes wrapped simply in butcher paper alongside generous portions and genuine, welcoming counter banter.

  • Rotisserie Lamb Souvlakis: Spit-roasted real lamb shaved directly for fresh souvlakis.
  • Express Hot Holding: Heated bain-marie filled with ready-to-go hot fried staples for fast stops.
