About
The Fish Basket is a well-regarded fish and chip shop in Avondale Heights, serving the local community with straightforward, quality fry-ups at prices that compare favourably to nearby options. The menu covers the classics, with fish and chips and potato cakes as the clear favourites among regulars.
The battered fish is known for being crispy without being greasy, and the chips deliver that ideal combination of fluffy inside and crunchy outside. Potato cakes here are the real-deal variety, hand-cut and uneven in size, which regulars take as a sign they’re made properly rather than pressed from a mould. Prawns also get a mention from those who visit regularly. Portions are generous, and the pricing sits comfortably below what you’d expect at comparable fish and chips spots across the western suburbs of Melbourne.
The shop accommodates dine-in with table seating alongside the usual takeaway option, and delivery is available through Uber Eats for those nearby. Staff are consistently praised for their attentiveness, particularly when it comes to phone orders, where accuracy and care are part of the routine. The Fish Basket is family-friendly and wheelchair accessible, with free parking on hand.
It’s a solid local option in Avondale Heights that keeps people coming back. Phone ahead during the dinner rush to keep wait times short.

Really disappointed here. Jam donuts are better when they aren’t super burned. What annoys me even more is that someone looked at these and thought “Yup, this is good enough”.
Not bad for a quick fix of fish and chips, been here twice already and food is good, service is friendly. It’s nothing special or over the top but definitely great for a feed. Pricing isn’t too bad either.
The best fish & chips shop. I use to own the salon next door and I got food from this place and its always clean and fresh,the food not creasy and always fresh. I have moved away and been trying some where near by but nothing nice. I still come back every time I feel like fish and chips. Highly recommended for who loves fish and chips. 😋💜
Best fish & chips I’ve ever had😍

The customer service was great, really good experience! Do recommend 10/10👍
Just a good old fish shop with real potato cakes that are odd sized and crunchy. Staff and owners are always pleasant to deal with. Highly recommend.
Excellent customer service they always go above and beyond to make sure my phone orders are correct and that I have everything that I ordered when I go to collect!! Foods delicious and they have tables and chairs. I recommend this Fish&Chip shop to all!!
Posting for my dad – best burger with lot hamburger he has ever had 😊
The chips were crispy outside and fluffy on the inside. The fish was crispy and not super oily. Compared to nearby fish n chip shops, the portions from Fish basket is generous and yet the price is much cheaper. The food was very fresh and it came out quickly. The staff were polite and friendly. Definitely my preferred fish and chip shop.
