About
Doncaster East Fish & Chippery has built a strong reputation among locals in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, and with well over four stars from a solid number of reviews, it’s clear this fish and chip shop is doing something right. The menu centres on quality fundamentals, with the signature combination of potato cakes and fish drawing particular praise. Those potato cakes are made on the premises, which is increasingly rare, and the chips are cut from real potatoes rather than the pre-processed variety found at lesser spots.
The batter is consistently crispy, and regulars point to the use of fresh oil in the fryers as a key reason the fish and chips hold up so well. Burgers are another highlight, noted for generous fillings and careful seasoning. Calamari and flake also feature on the menu, rounding out a solid range of traditional favourites.
The shop itself is kept very clean, and the staff are known for genuinely warm, efficient service. Orders called ahead are typically ready on arrival, which makes this a practical choice for busy weeknights. The team is clearly invested in the experience, with a level of hospitality that wouldn’t embarrass a proper sit-down restaurant. Takeaway and delivery are both available, and the venue is family friendly with a kids’ menu. Free street parking makes a visit easy for families coming from across Doncaster East and the surrounding area.
Prices sit slightly above the local average, though most regulars find the portion sizes and quality well justify the cost. Phone ahead during the dinner rush to keep wait times short.

A lot of high end restaurants could learn a few things about service from this fish and chip shop. Delicious food, clean place and very welcoming service. I had the fish and salad whilst the kids had the whiting fish and chips and calamari fish and chips. He threw in some extra clamari rings and tartare sauce for free. We will definitely be returning.
Having read the reviews, I had an out of state quest, and decided to get some good ol fish and chips.
We got the seafood pack and a normal fish and chips. Fried not grilled.
Service was excellent.
The place was clean and inviting.
The fish and chips were not bad but not the best either.
Fish was actually quite thin.
The crab sticks and calamari was good.
Chips were hot and crispy.
I think this is your standard fish and chips you will find at most places ( based on my experience of over 3 places nearby )
Either way a good value meal.
Enjoy.
This is your mum and pop local small business. Meaning they care about their customers. We ordered the pack for 2, and yes, prices have gone up, but the portions were generous and it was delicious! It was fried well, with everything crunchy to a satisfying degree. We also ordered one pineapple fritter for dessert and boy was it yummy! They accept and prefer cash payments as well. Support your local business!
Best fish and chips in Melbourne. Super clean shop with fresh oil in the fryers guaranteeing crispy and flavourful fish and chips every time.The burgers are absolutely brilliant, generous fillings and perfectly seasoned. Nick and his staff provide outstanding customer service putting many other local businesses to shame. 10/10
We ordered chips, potato cakes and flakes for dinner tonight. The food was superb. It was fresh and real potatoes , not those yellow MSG chips you get from other places. Their potato cakes are made on the premises, which is rare these days. It’s obvious they change their old regularly because of the crispness of the food. It was great to walk into a shop and be greeted with fresh , happy faces. Keep up the excellent food and service.
Great place to get a huge, fish and chip shop hamburger with the lot. Chips were delicious also and the atmosphere and service was very friendly. Found our new fish and chip place, will definitely be back
Had there food the other night the fish was okay, but not the best the chips where nice , but bit over priced for the area. , nice friendly service
These guys are the absolute best and are worth the drive if they are not local to you. Their fish is fabulous but the potato cakes are what we really come for.
I always call ahead and the food is always ready by the time I walk in the door.
