Across the country this directory covers hundreds of shops, spread across many suburbs and towns, and taken together they are well rated on a very large body of customer reviews. Several shops rate especially highly, and several rate poorly, so the listings are worth reading rather than skimming. Victoria carries the largest share, followed by Queensland and New South Wales, then Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory.
Most shops offer dine-in and about half offer delivery, while nearly all are recorded as family friendly. Gluten free menus, halal food and BYO each appear at a small number of them. Flake and barramundi turn up widely, calamari and snapper at several shops, and hoki, whiting, prawns and cod occasionally. On the hot box side, potato scallops and potato cakes are widely stocked, dim sims and burgers appear at several shops, and chiko rolls, battered savs, spring rolls and fish cakes show up occasionally. Traditional Aussie is the dominant style, with Greek-Aussie, multi-cuisine and modern kitchens at several shops and the odd Asian fusion or Italian-Aussie menu. Batter is recorded as light and crispy, traditional thick or tempura in roughly even measure.
On the shop menus here that we could collect and price, surveyed in May 2026, plain chips sat around $6 and ranged from $2 to $12, a single piece of fish sat near $12 across a $3 to $25 spread, and the median main was about $14.
Cicerello's Fremantle in Western Australia is known for its deluxe seafood platter, with chips, fish freshness and value all praised in reviews. Charis Seafoods at Labrador is recorded for battered fish and chips in a light and crispy style. By The Sea Fish n Chips & Burgers at Kiama is very strongly rated and does barramundi, calamari and prawns.
