Eltham holds a small cluster of shops, and the picture drawn from a modest body of customer reviews is a strongly rated one, with at least one shop rating especially highly. Every shop here is recorded as family friendly. About half of them do dine-in, while delivery is offered by a minority of them, so takeaway remains the usual way to order.
The Greek-Aussie style turns up widely across these menus, and it shows in what is sold alongside the fish. Lamb souvlaki and chicken souvlaki both appear at several shops, as do prawns and fish cakes, while potato scallops and calamari are seen widely. On the fish counter, flake and hoki are the common names, with snapper and barramundi listed at several shops. Where a batter style is recorded, it is light and crispy.
Aegean Wave Fish & Chips carries the deepest menu detail in Eltham, with lamb souvlaki as its signature dish, a light and crispy batter, and flake, hoki, snapper and barramundi all listed.
