Cheltenham's fish and chip trade is strongly rated overall, on a modest body of customer reviews, and several shops rate especially highly. Nearly all of them deliver, most take dine-in customers, and nearly all are recorded as family friendly. A minority list halal food.
The menus lean Traditional Aussie right across the suburb. Flake and barramundi turn up widely, with hoki, blue grenadier and snapper at several shops. Alongside the fish, potato cakes, dim sims, calamari and scallops are common orders, while chiko rolls, prawn cutlets, fish cakes and prawns appear at several shops.
Too few menus here carry prices to give a suburb figure, so the surveyed menus speak for themselves. At The Follett, Fish Bar & Grill, plain chips were listed at $4.50 and a single piece of fish at $11.00, with mains sitting mostly between $10.00 and $20.50. At Golden Star Fish & Chips, chips were $5.60 and a single fish piece $11.75, with mains between $9.20 and $14.80.
Golden Star is very strongly rated and runs a long list of fried extras, including fish cakes, prawns and a pineapple fritter, with delivery and kerbside pickup. The Follett is also very strongly rated and is noted for halal, vegan and vegetarian options plus late-night food. KIKO'S CATCH is very strongly rated as well, and handles dine-in, takeaway and delivery. Bernard Street Fish & Chips is well rated.
