About
Mermaids Fish & Chips is a well-loved fish and chip shop in Braybrook that has been serving the local community for well over a decade, with the same owner keeping things consistent year after year. It has the feel of a proper old-school chippy, clean and tidy, with friendly staff who clearly take pride in what they do. The shop carries a well-rated reputation across a solid base of regular visitors, many of whom have been coming back since childhood.
The menu covers the classics done well. Potato cakes and sausage in batter are firm favourites, the battered Mars bar draws its share of fans, and blue grenadier is a standout fish option. The batter is notably crispy and holds up even on the drive home, a detail regulars mention often. Fresh oil used daily makes a real difference to the flavour, and the chips are consistently praised. Burgers also feature on the menu and get a good wrap from long-time customers.
Mermaids is family friendly with a kids’ menu available, and both dine-in and takeaway are on offer. Parking is easy with free street and car park options nearby, making it a practical stop for families and locals in the western suburbs. Prices are genuinely reasonable, with generous serves that represent great value. Note that the shop operates on a cash-only basis, so it pays to come prepared.
A reliable neighbourhood fish and chip shop that earns its following the honest way. Phone ahead for larger orders during the dinner rush.

the food smells so bad didn’t eat it… I order minimum chips and it smelled like fried fish that you will get wofting from frying fish after caught one from the ocean and that was the chips! paid $4,30 and the oil has not been changed in years might as well use gutter oil and mind you I have relatives and mates who own fish and chips shops in Williamstown and hoppers crossing and I work as a guy makes animal fat for the fish and chip shops the standard looked pretty low what is more disappointing there isn’t good fish and chips around this side they have failed on so many levels that they could of had returning customers as myself but not now or ever…
Old school fish n chip shop, very clean and tidy! Lovely staff.
Highly recommend the Potato cake, sausage in batter, Mars bar & the Blue grenadier!
The batter is very crispy, even after the trip home.
Prices are great too!
Used to be good and good value for your money
But sizes have gotten smaller while prices have gone up and quality’s reduced.
We ordered TWO snack packs AND a medium chips.
To our surprise they handed us ONE small box
which you would think TWO snack packs AND medium chips would all be their own separate packs but they said it was all in this box. (Shown in the picture)
This sizing for the price is horrendous.
Furthermore the burgers we ordered were quite stingy with toppings AND bland, could’ve definitely made this at home.
Very disappointed as we used to be loyal customers but after these quality and sizing changes this will be the last time we order here unfortunately.
Amazing little shop we discovered on a whim, food was great, owner was kind and shop was easy to access. Attached is just over a minimum chips and 2 potato cakes, roughly $11 all up! Amazing value!
Note they are cash only, however the owner was very kind and found an alternate method for us 😀
Please support this small family operation!
I’ve been here since I was little and it’s still the same owner after over 10 years ++ !
Very crispy and great flavour, they use brand new fresh oil everyday which is essential for a good fish and chip ! Great local place, highly recommend it to anyone around the area !
I have been coming to this fish shop for over 10 years, this is the best fish shop in the West. Great burgers and fresh chips with good oil. Staff are amazing 👏..keep up the great service.
Fast and friendly service. Decent sized fish.
Cleanest fish and chip shop around, always value for money. Bring cash as it’s cash only but definitely worth going to go get cash as all the other fish and chip shops definitely don’t come close to this one. Lovely owners
