This would have to be my favourite fish shop in Melbourne. The fish is always fresh and their menu plentiful. Service is friendly and accomodating. You can never get bored of eating here especially if you love your seafood.
Had herd a lot good reports from friends that had been to Fishtank, so the wife and I decided to check it out. Hands down the best fish&chips ive had in a long time. The seafood was fresh and service was great, can't wait to go back 😀👍
Iv been eating here for the last few months. The food is amazing! Excellent service everytime. The fish and salads are always fresh. Recommend to anyone with an equisted taste bud to fresh seafood. 10/10 very reasonable price for quality!
The best local seafood from the smiling staff of Fish Tank!! ��
Fresh and great tasting food, friendly and quick service from a nice and clean fish and chip shop. Highly recommend!
What a fantastic restaurant!! The quality of both the service and the food is second to none! Our favourites are the burgers with chips, although everything is always cooked perfectly no matter the order, and is always served with a big friendly smile best worn by Jose :) Thank you for the excellent service, quality and consistency. We will definitely be back for more very soon!

Fantastic, well recommended, had a whole barramundi with a fresh pea and green bean salad, is soooo delicious and good prices, up market fish & chip shop
Best fish and chips in the world!! I stuffed up an order and the manger was more than willing to fix my mistake!! Thanks guys see u soon
Can't go wrong. 5 star food at 3 star prices and what a window presentation. Wish we had a fish tank in Perth.
Great food and service. Best fish and chips in town.
i love this place... Such great fish n chips i found in this area
Who loves an amazing plate of fish and chips? The fish and chips at @fishtankbrighton
They offer fresh local and national seafood on display and you get to choose the seafood.The chips were so crunchy that I did not even leave any behind.
It also comes with a fresh homemade tartare sauce which was really good. I guess I’ve found my favourite fish and chips spot
We had a couple of plates of golden fried delicious seafood. Everything was cooked well, crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside.
Have been to the Fish Tank many times over the years. Their menu is extensive and whatever we have ordered has been cooked perfectly. The staff are usually very pleasant I have never had a problem with being overcharged and definitely always been served what we ordered and paid for.
The seafood always looks so fresh and everything is clean and fresh looking. Prices are average and table service is good.
Pretty decent fish and chips, however not the cheapest and not the best. Batter is pretty good, better than many traditional seaside places where it's a big thick or soggy. The waitress that took our order was very friendly and also gave us complimentary sauce (they usually charge for it), and that was a very nice gesture. Would consider coming back if we're in the area again.
When it comes to plain and simple Fish & Chips, this place does it extremely well. We ordered the Fisherman’s Delight for two which came with Fish Of The Day (Blue Grenadier), Potato Cakes, Calamari, Scallops, and Chips. The seafood itself was incredibly fresh and was fried to perfection with light and crispy batter. The Chips and Potato Cakes were above average but nothing amazing. Everything was very simple so the main focus was on the natural flavours of the seafood itself, while I did have to get some sauce to help finish off the chips and potato cakes.
I would definitely recommend this place for plain old Fish & Chips (but mainly the fish).
We ordered the fisherman’s delight. It was amazing! Both the grilled and fried fish were great! One of the best fish and chips we had so far.
For a fish and chips place, it’s highly recommended. The seafood are very fresh. I normally but fresh seafood directly from them cause I don’t like fried fish. But still, nice spot. But the last time the waiter we had, was so inexperienced and took our orders wrong 3 times.

we came here for a bite after a long day out. they have a variety of seafood to select from. we had the grilled catch of the day, which was Bluefish I think and Thai salmon pattie. friendly staff.
I checked this place out after there was a lot of talk from my colleagues at work. I ordered the daily catch pack (grilled)and was delighted with what i could savour. It was perfectly cooked and really tender. I see what the fuss was all about!
Very good fish and chips. Everything is quite fresh and on display so you can see what you are getting. Good service and bustling atmosphere. The packs that have are good combinations too. I had calamari, scallops, flake and chips. The chips were lacking in a bit of crunch and flavour. Everything else cooked perfectly.
Spent about $18 here on a fish pack for two people which is reasonable though maybe a touch more expensive than other places. Fit out of the shop is probably the nicest you'll Ever see in a take out place- complete with an aquarium to stare at while you wait for your food. Fish and chips were tasty too, shame it isn't my local chippy.
Very good food, always very fresh salads and fish. Really friendly service. However, our order has been messed up before, but apart from that good food!
Every time I go to melbourne I take my grandfather lunch from the fish tank .... it is always fresh and cooked to perfection .... the baked salmon steaks are my favourite

Lunched here late morning and ordered their grilled Blue Grenadier with chips for only $10, the fish was very nice (but I've had better elsewhere for just a few dollars more), and the chips were very good. My dish was served within 20 minutes of ordering and I chose to eat out in the warm sun. Service provision was very good, friendly & efficient. A beautiful feature of this venue is it's large tropical fish tank.
The Juror's Verdict: Food 4/5, Service Provision 4.25/5, Will I return: Maybe, overall a good cheap lunch

Great little fish and chip place! 7 or 8 tables for you to dine in and enjoy. Food is served on real plates with real cutlery which is a nice change for a fish and chip shop. Huge range of fresh fish and seafood - all looked and smelled great. Batter on our fish was light and crisp and the staff could not have been more helpful! They get busy so be prepared for a short wait for your food - it's all cooked fresh. Loved it here and will definitely return!

Absolutely great chips from here and we love coming here when ever we are in the area. Always worth the wait in my experience.
The only time it wasn't worth the wait, we had to wait 45 minutes for chips (only a small serve of chips...) last time I was here and saw 4 or 5 people after we had ordered get their food before us, some of which was family sized chips... pretty disappointing and it was incredibly hard to get any staff attention. We had a patron ask for our order number and advised he saw it sitting there for the last 10 minutes.
Pretty popular for fresh seafood which always looks great and clear eyes on the fish.
Pretty good experiences excluding the most recent time. We'd only go back here if I was prepared to wait some time for take away or dine in.
Yum!! I so wish that this was our local chippery! Well worth checking out if you're in the area - and I would also say, it's worth driving out to just to eat here. Fresh fish, great service, reasonable prices. Brilliant!
I got a grilled fish with salad and chips. The fish was fresh and succulent and perfectly seasoned. The salad was also super fresh - I liked how you have about four gourmet options to choose from. Chips were yummy and the tartare sauce appeared to be homemade (or at least it wasn't that gluggy stuff you get from a store-bought brand).
The chips are just perfectly crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside at a very reasonable price. Fish are delicious and this is definitely one of the more sophisticated fish and chip shop we've been to.
Called in based on rating on Zomato. Saturday night so very busy, but although we were warned it could be a 30 min wait, in fact the food was out within 15min. Delicious salmon and fresh tasty salads
Best fish and chips in Melbourne! Loved everything I've had from here! They also have fresh seafood too! If only I lived closer... Open a store in South Melbourne please :)
Absolute Yum! One of the best fish & chips places out there! Lurrve the health attack packs! Perfectly grilled fish and refreshing salads! There is a bit of a wait sometimes, but that's the deal with popular places!

Late lunch before the movies at Dendy. Fish and chips $10 snack pack served plated to my table.. Great meal value and it was prefectly cooked. Cannot beat this in Brighton.
I ordered their fish a while ago, was extremely crispy and it melted in my mouth, would have to go there some time again!
The food as fish tank is absolutely delicious - super fresh seafood cooked well (think fancy fish and chips). My only reserves about this place are that it gets stupidly busy (especially in summer), so wait times can be excruciatingly long. And it's pretty pricey.
My favourite fish and chip shop at the moment. Their chips are thick cut and flavored brilliantly and their calamari is to die for, their fish is always fresh too.
The fish tank built into the wall is also nice to look at while you're waiting for your order.

Fish Tank is good quality fish cooked well.
Do yourself a favour and try the thai salmon burger. You should probably have some chips with that. 4 n a half out of 5, delicious.
Yummy! Good selection of fish and other non-fish dishes, not badly priced and healthier options such as veggies and rice which is great to see. Spicy calamari was a good serving size considering the price however the flavour very overpowering. Would return for some healthy laid back fish and other goodies 😄
Fish monger that also does fish and chips. Their fish is very fresh though expectedly on the more expensive end of the spectrum being in Brighton. Fish and chips are done well with pack options to suit everyone. Burgers are ok too but not as good as Royale brothers.
FISH TANK is my favourite fish and chip takeaway/eat in in Melbourne by far. It garners by a visit to Church St Brighton just to indulge in what is on offer.
I tend to oscillate between having the fish grilled and fried. The chips and salads are truly something.
Everything is so fresh and yummy.
The fish was fresh and delicious. Recommend having the fish grilled, not fried. Expensive but worth it. Staff are friendly except for the girl working at the register. Would return again.
The seafood is so fresh!!! It's the first time I try lobster in Australia. FISH TANK gave me a great experience. Environment: 3points. Flavor: 3.5points. Servers:4points.
Their Family platter is so huge!! Great for sharing among family members! Besides, the Staffs are lovely and friendly. Definitely would like to go again in the future 😉
We had grilled salmon white we asked medium. It came well done. Surprisingly not dry though. The Mexican salad lacked flavor, but otherwise not too bad. Presentation was excellent. So our expectations were higher than what we got. I would go again when they weren't short staffed.
This place is my local fish monger and also a local institution. Fishes are so fresh because they are also a fish monger. You can come and grab some salmon, prawns or any other great fishes to cook yourself. Their only downfall would be they are so busy due to their success sometimes it can take a while. I suggest ordering over the phone, like that you don't feel the wait. Great service too. Lovely people
I love their fish tank display opposite the counter where you order! It was something nice to look at while you were waiting there. They also had an appealing display cabinet showcasing off their seafood produce. The chips here were nice and crunchy and the salt & pepper calamari were quite tasty. Would eat here again when in Bayside!
Consistently one of the best fish and chips joints in Bayside. I have been to Fish Tank multiple times (20-30) and I have never had a bad experience with them. Their fish is always fresh, and their chips are always nicely cooked. It can be a bit pricey, but if you're willing to sacrifice a few extra lazy dollars for a quality feed, trust me when I say its well worth the price.
Excellent fish and chips, very fresh and cooked perfectly! We had a glass of vino and sat in, I can see why it is so busy! Will definitely go back.
Mum and I had an amazing dinner experience here tonight. At 6:30pm on a Friday, it was packed (of course) and we were told to expect a 25 minute wait. The wait turned into 45 minutes but the customer service and quality of food made up for it entirely. I am a sashimi lover and asked if i could have some raw tuna (not on the menu) which was no problem and arrived sliced and presented to perfection. My grilled rockling was fresh, juicy and delicious, mum's chips were crunchy and not too salty and the catch of the day, no clue what type of fish, was also divine. Mum always chooses grilled over fried but forgot to specify this time; no drama because the batter was as light and non greasy as anything, for once not overpowering the fish. As we waited we had plenty of time to suss out what goes on behind the counter and the staff here work their ASSES off, they definitely deserve some appreciation. Overall a great place for dinner (lisenced too yay!), would recommend!
Confused!!! Live local. Been coming here on a weekly basis from the week this shop opened. Quality was superb on day 1, hardly ever fails to disappoint! Frozen fish???? Have to be kidding!! I read these reviews and wonder about the authenticity of these"reviews". The fact you need to wait on a Friday night is probably a positive rather than a negative! Enjoy people, and rejoice in quality fish and chips!
The Best! The service is fantastic, I'm very indecisive and they are always so patient and helpful. Even have a gear range of salads and vegetarian food.
Best Fish & Chips in Melbourne. I've had fish & chips all over Melbourne, however this place is by far the BEST. Amazing selection of fresh fish, its very gourmet, it has baked/grilled/fried fish and a large selection of healthy salads. I dine there often, the other day I had the baked salmon, quinoa salad and chips, couldn't fault it. Even though I'm a big fan of healthy eating, I must say the chips were absolutely amazing. One suggestion, if your having take away I would recommend you call up and pre order as they're always very busy.
Amazing food, not the greatest service. Service is rushed, you hardly have time to get a word in before they already assume what you want and when it comes wrong there's nothing to be done. Love the food, everything is amazing, even the salads are something I would have on a daily bases. But staff need to be more conscious of their customer service skills!
Fish and Chips. Always busy but worth the wait. Fish and chips are fresh and taste great.
The best chips I have had in a long time! Not cheap for 2 $60 but we had wine so... Excellent food tho
Great toilet. The toilet smelt fantastic; a nice coconut musk. I thought they were a bit skimpy on the chips but the rest was pretty good. The quinoa salad in particular was exquisite.
Nice place to eat on a warm night. Great place to have fish and chips on a warm summer night
Still the best fish n chips in bayside, but starting to slip a bit, mainly in the burger section. Calamari and fish still great though

Great place! Fresh seafood, good proportions, quick turnaround. Anyone who doesnt like it is just your typical Brighton snob.
Its not cheap but it is worth spending that extra little bit to get a better product. The fish of the day was brilliant, the batter was crisp and full of flavour, the fish itself was thick yet tender, it just fell apart in your mouth. Squid was a little bit chewy but it was proper squid not minced squid. The chips were great, well seasoned with chicken salt and just perfectly cooked
Very fresh seafood! Great batter on the fish. But overall seasoning lacks, definitely room for improvement even with a bit more salt + pepper.
Fish Tank Fish and Chips is a great Fish and Chippery with some really nice fresh Seafood, the Hamburgers are delicious and the value for money is pretty good, I Highly Recommend Fish Tank Fish and Chips! 👌🏼
An impromptu day-trip to Brighton Beach ended up with the best fish & chips we've ever had. We purchased the Fisherman's Delight - such superb value. The freshness of the fish & fried scallops (with the roe inside) was exquisite. A beautiful day made that much better. Quality such as this is why Melbourne is one of the most likeable cities in the world :)
Nice fish and chip in Brighton. The portion is reasonable and price is bit pricey, but worth it.
Love the wide range of selection available .
FAVOURITE FISH N CHIPS HANDS DOWN ! ...so far. This place is my fish n chips cravings safety net at the moment. Everytime i get that fishy feeling. I head here and get treated for my addiction. These guys serve up the best fish n chips in the area. You will pay for it $$ but its worth it. Also very diet friendly here. Its easy to locate and easy to find parking. A short stroll from the water. The staff are great here . Greeks love fish n chippies and this gets the chocco tick of approval! Keep up the good work Fish Tank 👏
