About
Central Fish and Chips is a casual takeaway and delivery spot in Kilsyth, serving up the kinds of meals that keep locals coming back week after week. The menu is built around the classics: flake cooked to order, generously sized potato cakes, and crispy chips fried in clean oil. Beef burgers and chicken schnitzel burgers also get a regular run, and South Melbourne dim sims round out the menu nicely for those who want a bit of everything.
The shop has a well-rated reputation, and the service is a genuine highlight. Staff are friendly and attentive, and the kitchen is happy to accommodate requests like extra-crispy batter. The space is kept clean and tidy, which regulars consistently note. A kids’ menu makes it a practical choice for families, and the venue is wheelchair accessible with free parking nearby.
Food quality is generally well regarded, with fresh fish and crunchy batter mentioned regularly by those who visit often. That said, opinions on consistency do vary, and some visits have been less impressive than others. Going in during a busy lunch or dinner service, when the oil is fresh and the turnaround is fast, tends to deliver the best results.
Takeaway and delivery are both available, so there are options for a quick bite in the area or a meal at home. Phone ahead during the dinner rush to keep wait times down.

Requested information about what’s in the arancini balls, was told no milk or eggs.
Ordered it, contained cheese. Lovely for someone with dietary issues and a lactose intolerant wife.
Young guy taking my order was friendly, appreciated the owners signs asking for patience with the new staff.
Potato cakes hard, small order took 25 minutes, onion rings chewy. Beer batter on onion rings nice though.
Will not return.
Had fish n chips with my partner tonight, the guy serving had a beautiful smile, cooked the best fish n chips we have had in our lives. He even put it back in the oil fryer when my partner asked for extra crispy. Very clean and well kept. Even brought our order to the car.
Beautiful fresh fish, lovely crispy chips. Everytime.
Great beef burgers and tasty chicken schnitzel burgers!

Great Food, love the potato cakes.
Fish was very disappointing, it seems to be the problem everywhere now, you just cant get a decent piece anywhere although the price is up there
