About
Fish On The Block is a well-regarded fish and chip shop in Box Hill South, offering dine-in, takeaway, and delivery for locals and visitors alike. With a solid four-plus star reputation across nearly 150 reviews, it has built a steady following in the area, particularly among families and regulars who appreciate the relaxed, casual atmosphere and free on-site parking.
The menu centres on the classics done properly. NZ whiting in crispy batter is a favourite, and the chips hold up well, staying non-starchy even when cooled. Potato cakes are a signature item and worth ordering, alongside South Melbourne dim sims that draw consistent praise. Flake also features on the menu, served battered in generous portions. For those with dietary needs, gluten-free options are available, making it a practical choice for groups with mixed requirements.
Service is a genuine strength here. Phone orders are typically ready within the quoted timeframe, and the team is known for being friendly and efficient. The shop itself is kept notably clean, something long-term regulars point to with appreciation. Feedback on consistency is mixed at times, particularly around the battered flake, though the potato cakes, dim sims, and chips draw steadier praise across the board.
Fish On The Block is open for lunch and dinner and suits families well, with a comfortable dine-in space and easy parking. Phone ahead during busier dinner periods to keep wait times short.

We have been coming to this Fish n Chip shop for a number of years and they never disappoint. Great value for money and very friendly service. It also happens to be the cleanest FnC shop I have been in. Well worth a visit.
Placed a large order by phone and was ready within the 10-15 minute advised at time of call.
Good sized and tasty flake in crispy batter along with a generous serving of large chips.
Nice local fish and chip shop with good food and service! Will be coming back to try more on the menu😊
We used to love coming here but the last 3 times we’ve ordered the battered flake, it’s been so dry it’s not enjoyable at all. The potato cakes, South Melbourne dim sims and chips are all great, but not the fish. I am not posting this review to discourage other customers, but rather in hope this will help improve the quality. We would like to come back, but the fish needs to be fresh and tender, even if it means you have to charge a little bit more for it.
Walked and found this fish and chips in the afternoon. Ordered NZ whiting and turned out crispy while the chips are not starchy even cold (this was winter). Went back the next week for the same thing
Amazing service and amazing food! I cannont recommend this shop enough!
Best Fish and chips we’ve had in a long time. Steamed dim sims were yum too.
Food is usually good. I ordered tonight and the chips were under done. When I called to let them know they dismissed it saying that they just eat some chips and they were cooked. I told them we usually order from them and haven’t had this problem before but this time they were a little under done and just wanted to let them know. They continued to say they cook the chips the same and next time to just ask for them well done. They were rude and dismissive. If you do eat here, just make sure you ask them “well done” to get them cooked
