Ivanhoe carries a small cluster of shops in Victoria's north east, and the picture drawn from a modest body of customer reviews is a well rated one. Every shop here takes delivery orders and every one is family friendly, while about half of them also seat you for a meal in the shop. Gluten free options are recorded at a minority of them.
Flake and hoki turn up widely on the fish boards. Beyond those two, basa, whiting, flathead, barramundi, King George whiting and snapper each appear at several shops. The classic Australian takeaway list is strong: potato cakes, dim sims, chiko rolls and fish cakes are widely seen, with calamari rings, spring rolls, onion rings and souvlaki at several shops. Menus split between Traditional Aussie and Greek-Aussie cooking, with both styles widely recorded.
There are too few priced menus here to talk about a suburb typical price, so the individual figures are worth naming. The surveyed menu at North Ivanhoe Fish & Chips showed plain chips at $5.00 and a single piece of fish at $10.00, with most mains sitting between $8.50 and $19.00. At Banksia Fish Shop the surveyed menu showed chips at $7.00, a single fish piece at $12.00, and mains from $11.60 to $18.00.
North Ivanhoe Fish & Chips is a Traditional Aussie shop that is also recorded for vegetarian options, and it lists flake, hoki and basa. Banksia Fish Shop works the Greek-Aussie side, with fish and chips and pizzas as its signature, and reviewers there praise both the freshness of the fish and the value. Theo's Fish Bar Gluten Free is strongly rated and caters for gluten free eaters, with dine-in as well as takeaway and delivery.
