Best F&C I have ever had is at Rok Salt in Bright. Absolutely outstanding. Hand cut chips and PCs, incredibly wide range of fish (you can get salmon if you want), tempura vegetables, other random delights you wouldn't expect from a F&C joint.
If youāre ever holidaying in the area I thoroughly recommend, but get there early in the night as it is always pumping.
im sorry, but ive tried this place a couple of times. i reckon once, about 5 years ago it was surprisingly very, very good. but iwas there as recently as this easter, it is terrible.
ive spent my summer holidays workin in a couple of fish and chip shops, so its one thing i reckon i can comment on.

No Greeks around here own the fish and chip shops anymore :(
They do own the best charcoal chicken shop and do spit roasts. ā ā ā yum.
I think the introduction of all these burger joints has made fish and chip shop burgers redundant.
Yes, we have had an explosion of burger joints open in Adelaide in the last 12 months. Most of the old fish and chip shops now seem to be owned by Asians. Not too many Greek owned ones left.
Even rarer to find a joint that makes their own chips rather thsn use frozen ones. There is a good one in a dodgey part of Elizabeth that is makes it own chips and uses only fresh fish. There is an old bloke that just sits there most of the day peeling and cutting spuds. Always seem to have the right ammount and type of batter aswell
I have to eat gluten free, so I will throw my 2c worth in. I have found that the best fish and chips I have eaten at in a while (granted there is not a lot of competition) is in Tooradin. Boardwalk is their name. They cook in rice bran oil and it is as crispy and the fish is as yum as what I remember ārealā fish and chips to be. There is another place in Aspendale who I used to use, but their fish and batter to me are inferior. The fish would was crumbed and would probably crack the concrete if you dropped it. It is not bad, but Tooradinās is like what I remember batter to be like in terms of taste (though possibly better) and maybe even crispier. They also do non GF F&C as well. I reckon rice bran oil may really help in the cooking of anything.
Perhaps even better than Tooradin F&C was one in Ballarat. Not sure where it was, what it was called but they did superb GF F&C. It was in about 2009 when Victory hosted Gamba Osaka in an ACL game and lost 4-2. Probably pretty similar to Tooradinās F&C but it was the first time I had F&C like it (ie different to Aspendaleās) so perhaps I am looking at it with rose coloured glasses.
On the plus side they have an assortment of GF delicacies such as milkshakes, and sweets.
I love a good burger too and they do it well. Even though GF rolls come in behind ānormalā rolls in terms of staying together.
Kippers in Watton Street Werribee. Flake was nearly an inch thick!
And for those up Bendigo way - Mickās Fish opposite Lake Weeroona.
Thanks pazza.
Will give them a go, havenāt had fish and chips for years as the oneās I did try up here were all terrible.
There is a great one in Epsom I think it is. Just past the lake in Bendigo heading out of bendigo itās on your left.
Thanks, but have to say Epsom is about 10kms from Lake Weerona, lol, maybe you mean White Hills (only a couple of kmās from lake), yep there are a few fish and chipperyās in White Hillās.
If you can narrow it down to which one, will definitely give them a go.
