About
The Fisher Takeaway is a well-regarded fish and chip shop serving the Fisher suburb of Canberra, with a solid four-plus star reputation built across nearly 250 reviews. Open for lunch and dinner, it covers a broader menu than most, pairing the classic fish and chips format with burgers, pizza, and a kids’ menu that makes it genuinely suited to families.
The hand-made potato scallops are the clear standout here. Regulars single them out as among the best in Canberra, praising the crispy, old-fashioned batter and consistent seasoning. Hand-made battered sausages draw similar enthusiasm, and the fried fish is noted for a crunchy coating with moist, generous fillings inside. Chips are well-seasoned and golden. The Snitty burger earns a mention for sheer size, and the steak sandwich with the lot has been described as massive and satisfying. Pizza rounds out the menu with good topping coverage and solid flavour.
Delivery is available for those who prefer to eat at home, and dine-in is an option with outdoor seating on site. Wheelchair access is provided. It is worth noting that recent reviews are a little mixed on service consistency and burger execution, so experiences can vary.
For fish and chips in Fisher, this takeaway offers a wide range and some genuinely crowd-pleasing items. Phone ahead during the dinner rush to save waiting time.

We are serious aficionados of potato scallops (potato cakes) and make sure we try them everywhere we go.
These are the best we’ve had in Canberra and we’ve tried a lot of places here.
The fish was generous, moist, and delicious.
The sweet-potato chips just perfect.
What an amazing find. Our new favourite takeaway and we didn’t even know it was here.
Found the place by accident while in the area, but we will be back – a lot!
Nothing compares to a good feed from a takeaway.
Fresh produce, tasty & fast service.
The beef burger was delicious and fresh.
Crumbed fish & chips. Not oily, light and cooked just right.
Next time we will try some of the pizza

Looking for those Beautiful crispy hand made potato scollops or those to die for hand made batted savs and just about everything else that’s still hand made in shop……All I can say is go and see Pete at Fisher Takeaway! This place is a MUST go!!

Every mouthful was just a flavour explosion!! Cooked to perfection👌 perfect topping to dough ratio and a base sauce that rivals even Mamas recipe!
Can’t wait to try everything else they make!
20 out of 10….a definite must try In every way!!
Normally good food from here. But the schnitzel burger I had tonight was possibly one of the worst I’ve ever had very oily sure two bits of schnitzel and that’s really all there was couldn’t even taste the mayonnaise + bun was burnt luckily your pizzas taste great schnitzel burgers not so
I wish I could leave 0 stars. The owner of the shop is very rude and unprofessional. Said order will be ready in 3 mins- ended up waiting for 20 mins. The shop is very smelly of sweat as well which made me feel bad while I was waiting too. The place was full of flies as well. To be honest did not really want to eat the food I was waiting for at the end. Do not go there!
I was so happy to have found this takeaway shop. Ordered a steak sandwich with the lot, and that’s exactly what I got😋
The sandwich was massive, tasted divine. Also ordered potato scallops, recieved old fashion potato scallops, crunchy on the outside, creamy potato on the inside.
There were tables outside to eat, and I’m pleased there was, as the smell of my food, had my tummy making noises, I haven’t heard for a while, when buying takeaway.
The shop was clean and smelled of the food that was cooking, the service was friendly.
Will be going back to try the fish and the pizza.
Best fried fish I have had with exceptional value for money. The fish was crunchy on the outside and juicy inside.
Pineapple fruiters and potato scollops were so tasty with no fishy smell. Perfect cooking and seasoning. Chips were great. The portion was huge. Staff was very friendly. We went there twice in a row and every time was a positive and experience. Highly recommend.
