Preston is a small cluster of shops carrying a modest body of customer reviews, and the picture across them is strongly rated overall, with a few shops rating especially highly. Dine-in, delivery and family friendly service run right across the group, so a counter order and a home delivery are both easy to arrange here. Gluten free options are recorded at a minority of them.
The fish list leans on barramundi, flake and flathead, all seen widely, with calamari just as common. Snapper, prawns, scallops and hoki turn up at several shops. On the fried side of the menu board, potato cakes, dim sims, spring rolls and hot dogs are widely available, while nuggets, Chiko rolls, battered savs and souvlaki appear at several. The cuisine mix splits between Traditional Aussie and Greek-Aussie kitchens, both widely represented, and where a batter style is recorded it is light and crispy.
Preston Fish Bar is very strongly rated and lists a Somethin' Grilled barramundi as its signature, with a salad bar alongside a long fish selection that takes in snapper, prawns, scallops and hoki. Ottas Fine Seafood is well rated, works to a light and crispy batter, and has both fish freshness and value for money praised in reviews. Gills Fish & Chips is also very strongly rated, cooks Greek-Aussie, and is recorded for gluten-free fish and chips, with chips quality and fish freshness both praised; its fish range includes blue grenadier, King George whiting and salmon.
There are too few priced menus in Preston to average anything. On the menu surveyed at Gills Fish & Chips, plain chips showed at $7.20, a single piece of fish at $14.90, and mains ran from $8.80 to $16.50.
