Blackshaws Rd Fish & Chips - Melbourne

My score 3.5 stars.  J I had a TA lunch from here on Fri 8th Feb after shopping at AG.  We got a Fisherman's Basket $20 because it was mid arvo we didn’t want to troll through the menu.  Situated in a group of suburban shops pretty typical F C shop interior.  The 2 women who served us did the cooking were very polite pleasant – apparently they took it over about 3 months ago.  FB consisted of: 2 battered flake, min chips, 2 potato cakes, 2 calamari rings 2 dim sims – in the end we shouldn’t have got the calamari or dim sims there were chips left over too much food !  Flake – large pieces, fresh, quite good .  Very generous chips , well cooked, mainly regular cut shapes but some odd shapes smaller ones which were pretty crisp. J likes, I don’t – they did steam a little bit on the way home, so not showing at their best still ok though .  Potato cakes were ok, good size, a little bit doughy in the middle.  Calamari were ok, nothing amazing but at least not chewy.  Dim sims were quite golden brown very peppery too much meat not enough cabbage for me!!!  No lemon, etc. supplied.  BTW best wrapped TA F C’s I have ever had Double paper wrapped the inside piece being folded literally like a present !!!  Overall pretty good value not close enough to be our local, but not bad if you live nearby...

This place has def seen an improvement. It's got some friendly staff, clean cooking area and the absolute best crumb I have ever tasted. Good job. Keep it up!

This place has the best fish and chip ever. Very friendly staff as well.

Always order for takeaway as they don't have many seats inside the restaurant. Service is quick and their packaging is always very neat. Fish portioning is descent and they taste fresh, be it deep fried or grilled. Good value for money

Great fish and chips and value for money. Family owned and friendly staff! Always fresh and big servings! Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu!
