There’s something timeless about grabbing fish and chips in Victoria—crispy batter, golden chips, a squeeze of lemon, and that unmistakable coastal charm that makes every bite feel like an Aussie classic. Over our travels across the state, we’ve made it a mission to try different fish and chip shops, from neighbourhood favourites to seaside institutions. After countless meals (and many happy, salty fingers), we’ve finally narrowed down our top picks. Here are our favourite fish and chips shops in Victoria—places that stood out not just for the food, but for the experience that came with it.
Note: For those who’d like to dive deeper into our travels, our book Exploring Around Australia has now been published and is available on Amazon, capturing our journey across the country through personal stories and experiences:
