About
Barra Fish & Chips has built a strong reputation among locals in Altona Meadows, drawing regulars from across Melbourne’s west with consistently fresh fish, crispy batter, and generous portions. The fish is well regarded for being flaky and light, with a batter that crisps up without turning greasy. Chips come out crunchy on the outside and fluffy in the middle, and the serves are noted for being good value.
The menu covers the classics done well. Flake, calamari rings, potato cakes, and dim sims are all on offer, alongside chips and chicken nuggets that make the shop a natural fit for family visits. Dine-in and takeaway are both available, and no-contact delivery is also on offer for those eating at home. The venue is family friendly and has a wheelchair-accessible car park and entrance, with free parking out front.
The warm, welcoming service is a recurring thread in what people say about the place. Staff are known for making every visit feel relaxed and unhurried, which goes a long way in a casual fish and chip shop setting. It is the kind of spot where first-time visitors tend to come back.
Barra Fish & Chips is open for lunch and dinner Tuesday through Sunday, with Monday the only day off. Phone ahead during the Friday dinner rush to keep wait times short.

4.5 star fish & chips – great grilled fish (fresh flake), terrific steamed dim sims & thick & real potato cakes (old school, ask & pay for 4 & get 5) – friendly service, genuine smiles. Super clean oil – great chips. My only criticism is you have to put a lemon wedge in for each piece of fish & start throwing in Napkins & offer cutlery as folk go to the beach to eat, plus offer sauces such as tomato, soy & tartar. Very good range of drinks. Very reasonable price too.
Finally, and I have to say it boys – and I know the Victorian Gov World leading COVID lockdown life has really knocked us about but you have to clean your light fittings & freshen the place up a bit because your product is too good. New sign required.
Keep up the great work! 👍
this is a beautiful store and if you don’t like it then your the problem. they are a loving family owned business and they always make you feel very welcome. i love this place and it is the best fish and chip shop across melbourne!
Honestly the best fish & chips I’ve had!
The fish is super fresh, the batter is crispy not greasy and the chips are perfect crunchy outside, fluffy inside. Everything just tastes right. Big portions, good prices, and the staff are legends.
If you love proper fish & chips, this place is a must. You’ll be back for sure
Fresh, Friendly, and Flathead Fantastic! 🍟
Bara Fish and Chips in Altona is the real deal. I went in for a quick bite and walked out with a new go-to spot. The flathead was absolutely spot-on — flaky, fresh, and fried to golden perfection. You can taste the quality in every bite.
But what really sets this place apart? The girls behind the counter — warm, welcoming, and genuinely lovely. Service like this is rare and makes all the difference.
Oh, and let’s talk about the steak sandwiches — hands down, the best in Altona. Juicy, flavorful, and stacked just right. 🤩
If you’re in the area and craving classic Aussie fish and chips with a side of top-tier service, this is your spot. 👍
Yummy Burgers & Hot chips.
Would have been 5 stars if the potato cakes we got was not so greasy, needed to be drained a little more.
A hidden gem in the west! Tucked away in Altona meadows, some of the BEST fish and chips I’ve had. Fish is always fresh, great tasting batter. Great service every time. Will definitely be coming back again, and again!
Some of the crispiest and tastiest chips around. Grilled flake was perfect too. Friendly and fast service.
My son randomly picked Barra Fish & Chips for a small neighborhood seafood place. Perfect choice. Friendly staff, and great fish and chips. I had Flake and Sea Perch and he really enjoyed “The Lot” loaded burger.
