About
Smiley Fish & Chips has built a strong reputation in St Albans as one of the western suburbs’ most dependable fish and chip shops, drawing regulars back time and again with consistently fresh fish and reliably crispy chips. The batter is light and crunchy with a soft, flaky centre, and the chips come in generous portions that rarely disappoint.
The menu extends well beyond the classic fish-and-chip combo. The burgers are a genuine highlight, described by regulars as big, juicy and freshly made, and the sandwiches are equally well regarded for their freshness. It’s a broader offering than many takeaway spots in the area, and the shop keeps a clean, welcoming space for those who choose to eat in.
What separates this St Albans fish and chip shop from others nearby is the attention to detail that carries through to every order, including delivery. There’s a warmth to the operation that goes beyond the food itself, with small touches like handwritten notes tucked into delivery bags standing out as the kind of thing that turns a first-time order into a regular habit.
Dine-in, takeaway and delivery are all available, making it a practical option for families, solo diners and anyone after a quick meal. The venue is wheelchair accessible with both an accessible entrance and car park, and a kids’ menu is on hand for younger diners. Free parking nearby and card payments including tap-and-go round out a convenient experience. Phone ahead during the dinner rush to save time.

Not feeling cooking tonight so give this a go after very positive reviews. And my whole smashed 2 delicious and juicy fish and steak burgers, crunchy thin crush battered fish, and crispy chips. Specifically the fish is very fresh. Love it!!! Definitely this will be my favourite fish & chip place. Highly recommended!
Returned after more than 2 years, still the best fish and chips in the West. Apart from the fresh fish and crispy chips, the burgers and sandwiches are also very fresh. Highly recommended!
The fish and chips here are fantastic! The fish is super fresh, with a crunchy coating and soft, flaky inside. The burger is big, juicy, and delicious. The place is also very clean, making it a great spot for a quick and tasty meal. Highly recommend!
4.5 Stars. Overall a great fish and chips shop with a wide variety of options and deals available. The quality was great and the pricing not too bad.
Service was good but they can be a little inflexible with the meal deals.
Absolutely lovely experience! Not only was the food delicious, crispy fish, perfectly cooked chips, and generous portions, but they also went the extra mile by leaving a kind handwritten note outside the delivery bag. It really made my day and showed how much they care about their customers. It’s the small things like this that make a place feel special. Highly recommend supporting this gem!
The best fish and chips in the west without a doubt. Puts many shops to shame with their offerings. The seafood tastes fresh and everything is battered well and fried in fresh oil properly. Always a good experience here and consistently high quality. The people who work here are lovely also and extremely kind.
the best fish & chip shop in melbourne, everything on the menu is so delicious but the homemade tartare sauce was the perfect pairing for all the food. the beautiful staff kindly gave us extra prawns, potatoes cakes & onion rings!! 11/10
Very fast service friendly atmosphere a large menu and fantastic food that really satisfies the hunger you can also dine in or simply take away a great choice either way at a nice local fish n chip shop.
