Having resided in my current location since 1998 we have found and lost our favourite fish and chipperies over the years.
We used to frequent one of the two napier St fish n chip shops in Napier St strathmore when owned by Con & Jenny. They subsequently moved to Flippin Fish n Chips in Napier St Essendon. By chance we discovered a new one over the Christmas period when the previously mentioned was shut for the festive period. Was at 1041 Mt Alex Road North Essendon. The owner had just taken over. Was awesome until he sold the business about 2-3 years later. We returned to Flippin FNC. Con & Jenny sold so onto Blu seafood on gaffney St or FNC on Keilor Road were the go to options. We had a crook batch of fish from the former and the latter changed owners so our go to became West Brunswick FNC on Moreland Road. About 18 months ago got a really disguting meal and havent been back.
Our go to now is Coonans Road Fish n Chips. Traditional old school fish and chips, no fancy sh1te.
If we are down the Bass coast/Phillip Island it is San Remo Fish Co-op
