About
Flippin Fish and Chippery has built a strong reputation among Essendon locals, with well over four stars from a solid number of reviews. The shop takes a straightforward approach to quality: everything is cooked to order, and the oil is kept fresh, which shows up in the results. Chips come out crisp rather than soggy, the fish is light and fluffy inside, and the calamari stays crunchy well past the point you’d expect.
Potato cakes draw particular attention from regulars, and the calamari packs are generous, with a good amount of chips and a tartare dipping sauce on the side. The steak sandwich and the burger with the lot round out a menu that covers the classics without overcomplicating things. For anyone in the area tracking down a reliable fish and chip shop in Essendon, this one ticks most boxes.
Dine-in, takeaway, and delivery are all available, making it easy to enjoy however suits. The venue itself is kept clean and tidy, and the team is noted for being friendly and moving quickly even when it’s busy. Portions are generous and the pricing is considered fair value for what’s on the plate.
A family-friendly setup and a kids’ menu make it a practical choice for a weeknight dinner or a weekend treat. Phone ahead during the dinner rush if you’re after a shorter wait.

$12.8 Calamari Pack
6 Calamari inside with a lot of chips!!! Dipping sauce is tartar. The flour outside is so crispy even you put 30 minutes. Add some chicken salt, perfect! Big portions that you definitely feel really full. Staff is friendly as well.
I came here on a recommendation.
I heard here’s fish and chips are amazing! 🙂
Also I love how clean and tidy the place is.
Best fish and chips in the area. They use vegetable oil and you can taste the difference. Their sweet potato cakes are so good! Love their calamari too. Always friendly, quick, clean and well priced.
I’ve been a customer at Essendon fish and chippery for 10 plus years now I must say the fish and hamburgers are always great quality and fresh . Dora and her elder sister and their father are always welcoming and happy to serve you and partake in a joke or two . However I’m not going to partake with them anymore after tonight when Two upstart young teenage girls virtually told me on the phone if you don’t like the way I am go else’s to get your food . There phone manners and technique were deplorable it was if they don’t care about the paying customers on the phone actually help pay there wage . I will not be going back also word of mouth re this incident is a powerful tool
Everything is always fried as you order and they don’t overuse old oil. Fish is fluffy, and the chips are never soggy and their potatoes cakes are the best around. They always throw in an extra little something for you too!
Staff are always friendly 🙂
Got the burger with the lot and the kids pack. Both good quality and good value. On the burger in particular, exactly what you hope for with a $15.50 lot burger at a fish and chip shop. Clean and tidy venue too.
Ordered uber eats they left out steak sandwich with the lot and didn’t put it in. When I called they said they would give me a future order for it. Like I’m Hungary now now next week. Shit service will never order there again and where is my money????
Been coming here for years. Best fish n chips around, always generous helpings.
Y’all are the greatest
