Really like the new salad mix
Fantastic fish and chips for this price! Love it that the lunch special is available daily and the option of Asian greens! Would definitely be back again!

The best place to get gluten free fish and chips in the inner north and near the city! Delicious but relatively simple menu with lots of gluten free options. If you get a standard combo make sure to order a few pieces of gf calamari as they are amazing. I love that you can order 1 or 2 as well instead of a whole set. The blue grenadier is not too bad but I prefer the barramundi. Both the sweet potato and slaw salads are good. We have introduced so many people to this place.
One of the best places to get healthier fish dishes 🐟 in the Fitzroy area. Great for takeaway or dine-in. It also has a chilled beer garden out of the back to kick back and relax!

A fish and chip shop that isn’t greasy and doesn’t stink of oil and old chips! Tasty calamari and great salad options! Have been here several times and had never failed to disappoint!
Best sweet potato wedges ever!! Great value options, such as the Monday barramundi special. Fish was well cooked, tasted fresh, was of generous size & flavorsome. Good option for salads too. Recommend for a quick weeknight meal & doesn't break the bank. Plenty of lovely options
Quality fish and chips with friendly service and great value for money. For $30 for two people it felt like we were served up a feast! Al very fresh and tasty. A really enjoyable meal.
Excellent food, excellent gluten free options and a dedicated gf fryer too. Love the lunch specials, they are an absolute bargain. I come here regularly for the fish, chips and the Asian coleslaw. Service is friendly. Meals are usually quickly served during the day, though at night time you can be in for a bit of a wait due to excessive numbers of foodora, uber eats, deliveroo and other takeaway orders... I feel that they might need to add more people in the kitchen to accommodate this and not put off other customers! Food is always fresh, generous, crisply battered and the Asian slaw is a taste sensation. Delicious!
Consistently good quality fish and chips with a beautifully balanced Asianslaw. The specials, Barramundi Monday in particular, give great value and ensure repeat business on a regular basis.
Crispy chips and the fish burger was pretty tasty too- one of the better ones I've had, made fresh. We sat outside in the courtyard which was nicely set out in the garden. Also had a fish + veg once and couldn't complain. Good food, good value.
This little place serves up some really nice fish & chips. I ordered 'British Fish & Chips', with a Coopers Pale Ale. My fish was battered/fried perfectly, and chips were crunchy too. Not really too fussed/keen on smashed minted peas, but thought I'd give it a go.
Sweet potato chips sooooo good! Crunchy but still soft and large, decent serve. Salt and pepper calamari not bad liked the sauce with it something different.
Can't go wrong with fresh chips and fish.
The staff was very friendly. Ordered the fish burrito for 10 dollars during their lunch special, highly recommend this!
I'm impressed. Gosh you can get some good food delivered these days. We had this off Uber Eats, courtesy of my younger son, and it was absolutely delicious I'd have to say. I had the calamari, chips and an Asian salad. It was really lovely and the serves were fairly generous. Bravo.
Yummy! I ordered the prawns and salt & pepper calamari to take away. Short wait time. Even after my 20 minute walk home the food was still warm and delightful. Not too oily. I will certainly be back and may hang out in the sweet beer garden outside 🌿
Ho preso il classico british fish and chips. Molto buono! Il fritto davvero non era pesante. Locale molto carino. Tornerò a provare altri piatti.
Lunch special is amazing!!! Everyone should try their Asian salad it's unique with those herds in,which gives you a crush of freshness. Lots of chips and big fish!
Got the $32 pack for two people with the Asian slaw. It was a lot more food than I anticipated which was a good thing. Chips werent as great as I'd like, maybe a little stale, but the Asian slaw was delicious, as was the calamari and blue grenadier. You can choose if you want the fish grilled, crumbed, or battered, and you can sit inside or out.
Ordered seafood platter on a deal. Had crumbed and grilled fish, crumbed prawns, calamari and scallops with tartare sauce and chips. Perfect crisp batter and well-cooked seafood. Chips was average. The calamari was the highlight, so yum! Their salads are pretty tasty too! A very relaxed feel in the Fitzroy outlet, warm and inviting. Friendly staffs. Good for a slow lazy weekend.

Franchise Fish & Chips British style .....
A new rendition of this good ol' British Gourmet.
Seriously, I don't know how difficult it is to run a franchise Fish & Chips outlets ... it must be a difficult job making sure you deliver the same quality on a daily basis, hence we must appreciate the Standard Operating System at McDonalds, KFC and the likes.
I've been to two (2) of their stores in Hawthorn and Fitzroy, each time we've had a different experience in terms of quality. We've had a bad one at Hawthorn (see my review) and a better one at Fitzroy last week. Fitzroy outlet doesn't resemble anything like the Hawthorn outlet, apart from the thick cut chips; nicely grilled and great batter on the fish, prawns, calamari and scallops.
Tonight (9/8/16) we've revisited Hawthorn outlet and had a better experience than the previous visit in June, more like the Fitzroy outlet, batter was thick and hard, not as thin as Fitzroy.
Their Sambal sauce is nice, can taste the Coconut in it, just needing to be hotter, that's why it's call Sambal :-) Shrimp paste? not too sure.
Consistency in delivering their product is an issue with this franchise. Trust you can get it right as it is a great concept, who doesn't like modern British Fish & Chips.
It's a fine balance for a fish and chip shop. Provide good cheap takeaway and also cater for customers that want to eat in. Hooked nail these two aspects. Fish and chips actually served on a plate with actual cutlery if you eat in. So simple but very important.
Thought while here I should try some proper fish n chips.
Was told Hooked does a decent meal.
Stopped in for lunch, ordered the Chipper Box.
Comes with 1 piece of Blue Grenadier, 6 pieces of calamari, salad & chips. (Or rice m salad which seems odd)
You can get your seafood battered or fried.
I of course got it all fried, the correct way.
The calamari were the stand outs of this meal.Perfectly cooked, great flavorful crispy batter. Paired well with the chili lime aioli.
The fish was good, nicely cooked, nice light batter.. But lacked any pronounce flavor over all.
The chips were okay, would've prefer hand cut chips, not ones that's looked like came out of frozen bag.
The salad didn't serve much of a point, balsamic dressing was incredibly bland. Just picked out the cucumbers.
Not a bad meal over all, would've eaten a full try of that calamari.
Awesome trendy fish and chip shop, beautifully decorated and has a gorgeous little courtyard at the back, you feel like you are in a restaurant. Fresh seafood and traditional British fish and chips. My friend ordered the barramundi which comes with salad and chips, it was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. I had the fish burrito, with chips, all the food was delicious and tasty and fresh. Friendly service and a very clean place. Reasonably priced and a large selection of soft drinks. Recommend👍
Although, the portion has shrunk, this is still the best fish & chips I've had. Their tartare sauce is so good that I think it is necessary to get extra serving of it.
Really good burger (lunch special), and great big fries. Not too much sauce, nor too little. Felt really satisfied by it without being overfilled.
Ordered the Double Chippery with extra fish. For the fish I prefer the grilled one (as it's less oily), but if you like fried I think the batter is better the crumbs one. Salt pepper calamari was delightful, cooked to perfection. Chips was alright and tartar sauce is a must for fish and chips. The place is quite spacey with long table in the middle and they also have beer garden at the back where you can chill out and relax with friends. The staff was very helpful, vibrant and friendly. Will come back again sometime!
I go here for a great work lunch now and again and the food is always amazing! I usually get the lunch deal- grilled fish with rice and sweet potato salad with the Asian sauce.
However they have messed up 2 orders out of the 4 times I've been so be careful that your order is right. They claim to be good for gluten free food but they're not very careful (they put soy sauce on my rice which has wheat in it, even though I asked them not to). Also they left one of our sauces out another time. However the food is so yum that I keep going back!
Best fish and chips in Melbourne. Plus they have mushy peas which I've not found anywhere else. Excellent food, good ambiance, and to top it all a beer garden :)
Beautiful fish and hand cut chips!! I would have given you a 5 but the rice was flavourless and sticky!! Your chips are so good and i can't wait to come back and get some to take away so i can make chip sandwiches mmm :) keep up the good work and put some flavour in that rice!
Good food but over priced. Large chips has about 20 chips in total. Chips cost nothing. Stop being hipster wankers and have proper size chips. Also no dimmies. Would go there again but only because there is no other Real fish and chip shop around
It's hard to find a good fish and chip place in Melbourne. The quality of the food here is generally better than most. The menu is tasty and quality ingredients are used. The menu has slid backwards a bit (bring back the grilled corn cobs)... But this is still hard to beat currently
Binula Tried the $10 Lunch deal today with grilled fish and a salad, well cooked fresh fish and fantastic sweet potato and quinoa salad! 👍 Will be back to try more.
Popped in here for lunch with a friend as we'd heard they do great fish and chips. I had the grilled dory burger and chips with chilli and lime aioli. The burger was delicious and the aioli was absolutely amazing! The thick cut chips were also very well done.
My friend got the blue grenadier with chips and salad and said the fish was fresh and flavourful, and the salad was also tasty and complemented the meal well.
Well worth a try!
Absolutely delicious fish and chip shop but with so much more with healthy, grilled options, burgers, burritos and salads. The salads are divine - must try the Sambal sauce, such pop - so fresh!

Love it! The quality is amazing! We ordered a couple of the calamari lunch box and it was sensational! Had to order another! The calamari weren’t cooked as rings but large pieces – prefer that! Perfectly cooked! Fresh as! Ticks all the boxes when it comes to chips – that’s important!
When comparing to traditional fish and chip shops, Hooked is obviously at a higher price, but is a perfect place to enjoy tasty, ‘healthy’ (gluten free!) fish and chips on a hot summer’s day.
Hooked sets itself as serving healthy seafood, with a slight twist on your usual fish and chips. Place itself isn't too big with a large communal table in the middle and several smaller tables on the side. Place is dimly lit, which I personally would've preferred if it was better lit. We went for dinner on a Wednesday night, the place wasn't too busy with a couple of other patrons. Order to be placed at the counter and collected when ready. We had the House Fish (Grilled w/ brown rice) $12.50 and the Box for One (Battered w/ half chips and half sticky rice) (~ $17.90). We enjoyed both the grilled and battered style fish. The batter was light and crisp and the calamari was pretty yummy too, not chewy and easily bitten into. Really liked the sweet potato crisps that accompanied the meal, thin enough and nicely baked/fried?. Chips were thick-cut and nothing different from your usual chips. With the sides, brown rice was alright, although pr
They have a cool take on fish and chips: a healthy one.
I don't know what's not to like about this place. Fresh fish, gourmet salads, bes fish tacos I've ever tasted & boutique beers. I'll never eat dirty paper wrapped f&c again.
Friendly, casual.. Very casual place with simple, slightly hit and miss type menu. Lentil burger and chips delicious. Not fabulous food but pretty good. Nice friendly atmosphere.
Good quality food but way too expensive.
Great food but still overpriced. Food is delicious but the price stops me from returning regularly.
A close friend of mine recommended this place to me. Had the fish tacos. It was beautiful. I'd come back if I was in the area. The decor/theme and their work attire is adorable.
It used to be called bakers cafe it was so cute. Breakfast coffee dinner lunch but now all changed too hooked fish and chips. Went here once never looked back too overpriced and you can get cheaper fish and chips why does it have to be fancy fish and chips it's just boring.
Can't go past the fish burger! & the grilled fish, and the superfood salad, and the tacos.. the list goes on... Good quality, good size meals and reasonably priced. It's a winner for me!
Speedy and reliable. Good for a quick mid week meal.
The fish tacos are amazing. Very friendly staff too.
Nice food, lovely crunchy batter, not greasy.
Nice touches like British malt vinegar available on the tables. Will be back!
L-O-V-E this place!!! I got here about one every week/two weeks for the black bean taco or fish burger and they r both amazing! I can't even describe how good the fish burger is! And the chips - deliciously cooked, I know it's a big call but I'd say they're the best chips going around at the moment. Yum!! And the staff are always so lovely!
Fresh fish served with salad, brown rice & or greens
Perfect light clean & friendly
Back for more. Been there at least 15 times. Always very satisfied, top class healthy& hearty grub. The Fitzroy shop leaves the Prahran shop for dead in all aspects.
Brilliant Fish and Chip Shop. We went there for dinner tonight and it was surprisingly good. The food was healthy, delicious, and refreshing. We had grilled salmon/salad and battered mahi mahi/salad/brown rice. It couldn't have been better. The waitress was absolutely lovely and extremely competent. The music was relaxed and we loved how the place has been decorated. Thank you, great dinner and experience.
Great Lunch deals. Good size servings, and I always get half chips and salad..
always stuffed afterwards.
Mmmm. Great veggie burger and Monteith's on tap! Potato cakes are awesome too!
Had a huge craving for fish and chips. Had been about 8 months since my last and it hit the spot! Gluten free menu is amazing! Chips are cooked great and thick! The tempura battered house fish was seriously perfect. Batter was crunchy and fish was beautifully cooked. I love the sweet potato chips too! Calamari wasn't the best but it wasn't chewy which is always a winner. Nothing about this meal was greasy either so I didn't feel disgusting after it (like you usually do after fish and chips). It was a well earned treat and enjoyed thoroughly.
2 tacos and a beer for 16 bucks works for me! The black bean tacos are lovely
Delish fish!. Can't fault this place. Great fitout, friendly staff and delish fish! Just don't mention it's a franchise or the Fitzroy nimbys will form a picket line!
Great fish and chips. We order the fish of the day-blue granedier with chips take away. The tempura batter was good, however I prefer grilled fish. I live the sweet potatoes thin chips they included in the pack. Great service too.
Good fish, great service which is a total rarity round here.. The servings are huge, the salad is delicious and comes with a yummy corn cob. Try the sticky rice/bok Choy side...mmmm....
Excellent Chips. Had the lunch box with fish and chips plus salad. It was very nice and an absolutely massive serve - good value at $10.50
The fish was succulent and tasty I couldn't tell what fish it was it was still nice though. The salad was good I liked the addition of pickled ginger and spanish onion to give a little excitement to the mixed lettuce and tomato. In the lunch box it comes next to the chips and under the fish and lemon, but I don't think this detracted from it really. The chips were the standout crispy on the outside and soft and silky on the inside really nice - I couldn't eat them all which is testament to the sheer amount of food and the fact that I know a fried chip is not healthy for me.
I wouldn't eat it too regularly, but I will likely return.
Have eaten at their Fitzroy store a few times now. I've only ever had blue grenadier (grilled) with chips and salad, and it has been consistently good to date. Staff are friendly, service is no fuss and fairly prompt. Overall I'd give it 4/5 spuds.

We be returning, arrr!. I had high hopes for Hooked, as I was pleased to had found a fish and chip shop offering gluten free options. I was informed that I could order fish, calamari and prawns all battered gluten free, so I opted for battered fish and calamari, and grilled prawns.
The fish was amazing, the batter was light, crispy, and tasted better than what I remember 'real' battered fish tasted like some five years ago before I was diagnosed with celiac.
The only criticism I have is that I felt the fish was a little too oily, and for a restaurant claiming 'healthy' fish and chips, I couldn't help but feel unhealthy with all that oil.
The sweet potato chips were a nice touch, and the tartare sauce is the sauce I definitely recommend choosing. I didn't taste the hand cut potato chips, so I can't comment on those.
The calamari was not as chewy as I was expecting it to be, and the batter accompanied it nicely. The grilled prawns tasted almost like grilled chicken to me, which I was fine with.
The staff were very friendly, and the surroundings are all in theme with many framed photographs adorning the walls, and a large painting of a mermaid in the eating area. Anchors, barrels and lifesavers are used as decoration in the small corridors leading to the bathroom and courtyard.
The prices are quite expensive for fish and chips, but a very nice night out indeed.
I LOVE CHIPS!!!!!. Hooked is set up really well, they have a cute sailor looking restaurant and has the most legendary cut chips, they have the takeaway boxes are really good and convenient surprisingly very easy to chuck out, just put all the leftovers on the top box and stack them all up!!
The food may be great but the price isn't but the chips and fish make up for it, I was also a bit disappointed that they didn't have potato cakes WHAT CHIPS SHOP DOESN'T SELL POTATO CAKES??? That was also kind of a let down, overall this is a very good place to go on a Friday night :)
Pretty good fish & chips. Went for dinner, we had the House Fish (Grilled w/ brown rice) and the Box for One (Battered w/ half chips and half sticky rice). We enjoyed both the grilled and battered style fish and the sweet potato crisps that accompanied the meal. The calamari was pretty good too, easily bitten into, not chewy. However, both meals were quite salty and we couldn't help feeling thirsty after. Certain components of the meals was really oily as well such as the bokchoy (which is think is supposed to be the 'healthy' aspect?). Overall, still pretty good, might return if I happen to have a fish and chips craving.
I wake up dreaming about a hooked calimari lunchbox. You can be choose salad or rice or be healthy, but I always buckle and opt for phenomenal thick cut chippies.
Awesome atmosphere, yummy food, cheap as chips, good service! Recommend, especially if your a visitor to Melbourne.
Hooked has been around for some time now serving simply made seafood. But who can pass up perfectly tempura-battered fish or a serving of school of prawns with a beer?
I’ve gotta admit that for a chain, Hooked is pretty good. They’re reasonably priced, relatively fresh and healthy and offer a lot of variety. I most recently tried the British style combo with grilled fish, mushy peas and chips (subbed for sweet potato for just a few bucks more). It was absolutely delicious and very filling. I’d gladly get it again.
Best fish and chips I've had for a long time. Everything was just cooked perfectly for my taste. Not an easy task given the variety in a single meal: two varieties of fish, scallop, prawn, dimsum, calamari potato cake and chips. All just lovely. Biggest whole scallop I've seen in fast food in years.
Overall a good experience. Decent shortlist of fish types showing its seriousness. On a more recent trip the fish was a little soaked with oil and the chips were a little dry. 3.5 stars
We had the Lunchdeal of $10,95 and chose the fish and chips with a salad. Also it is apparently normal to serve free tap water in Australia :) the salad and fish tasted fresh, good chips and nice atmosphere. Would recommend it!
Great true value restaurant. The service is so friendly and the food is large portioned for the price. The lunch is especially good value with their $10 specials.
Cannot recommend enough! Really nice staff, food was fresh and warm, even after 10 min walk home. One of the best fish n chips I’ve ever had in Australia! Will be back again.
I love the way you cook the fish. We can’t get to our favourite fish and chip shop thru lockdown as it’s outside our 5kms. But happy now we tried Hooked as it’s tasty too, will be coming back
