Review D'lish Fish - Melbourne

Rory Kirkland
Great, happy, friendly. Food was wonderful (presented nicely, served well and tasted great) and really well priced. Awesome view sitting outside and friendly staff that greeted and served well. Would recommend to all types of people. Would like to come back for beers or ice cream in summer and in the evening. Heaps of food per meal for under $25

Sunday dinner. Plenty of dine in seating. Friendly service who was helpful. Good menu array of your standard fish and chips plus beef and chicken burgers. I went for beef burger and shared chips, or 1kg of chips which was enough for two. The beef burger was quite nice, probably I would say the best fish n chip burger I have had. Chips your average style fish n chippery style. Well recommended for a dine in or take away experience.

Ideally located in Port Melbourne's most vibrant zone, D'Lish offers a broad range of deliciously cooked fish and Chips. The ambience setting is very welcoming, with eat in and outdoor facilities. Service is fast and friendly. Definitely a great place to catch a bite of some delicious fish.

This place lives up to its name - D'Lish! I've never had Blue Grenadier before, I'm normally basic and get whatever "Cod" is being sold. But this fish is similar to "Cod" but fresher and tastier. The batter is light and crispy. Probably the best Battered Prawns I've ever had in my life! Value for money is outstanding and the staff are great. Highly recommended!

I've had the pleasure of eating here twice this summer. Delicious and fresh fish. Chips are crispy and cooked to perfection. The crispy chicken burger is to die for. The service is always friendly.
Iri Mae
Service were fast & friendly Food fresh especially the fish Calamari melted in your mouth with being so tender šŸ˜‹ Chips were semi ok, but still nice Batter were over cooked, one should not kill the fish & batter by over cooking it as too much oil soaks into the batter and you can tell its cooked too long or on too high due to the over cooked colouring! But it's a good feed and we're fresh! Shame you couldn't sit in the shop out of the wind to eat
Cityzen zen
This small barramundi fillet costs almost $14 believe it or not. And when you actually see the fish fillet inside the batter it becomes even smaller. Over charged definitely!! The food is regular fish n chips nothing special. You can actually get it somewhere els for alot cheaper. Don't recommend this place.
Marijan Pajtak
Excellent service, calamari rings were fantastic, and flake, chips and potato cakes were really good as well!
Laura Lane
Omg the gluten free batter is amazing! Finally. ..have eaten battered fish and potato cakes after years and years. So damn good. And the fish....none of these thin pieces of flake like a normal fish and chip shop, but a thick decent size and so fresh. We will be back !
Garth Over
Loved it, its the best fish and chips going around. They don't skimp on the grilled fish nice and thick pieces the chips were amazing cooked perfect.... and they have the gluten free batter not much of that around. Definitely worth the drive second time i have been there now ļæ½ļæ½ļæ½ļæ½
Lachlan Ruhr
The photos definitely do not disappoint! Fish was fresh, batter was heavenly crispy and the burgers are succulent and juicy! I also did a naughty and had one of their deep fried mars bars as an after-treat. Will definitely be returning here again!
Jaz Breen
The family and I ordered D'Lish fish off of uber eats and unfortunately when we received our order, more than half was missing. Obviously unsure of whether the driver was at fault, I called D'Lish fish to advise and the staff were more than helpful and accomodating. We drove to the shop to get the rest of our order and the staff kindly gave us extras for the inconvenience. The food was amazing. Thank you ļæ½
Yasmin Lozanovski
Being Coeliac it's hard to find good Gluten free fish and chips. I had my first dim sims in years and they were delicious. Would recommend the Gluten free options which are amazing.
Pam De Fransz
Delicious barramundi fried in cotton seed oil ... it was divine .. the best I have eaten šŸ‘šŸ¼will definitely go there again
Gayle Raja
At the end of an extremely special Family outing we decided to have fish and chips before heading home. We were all delighted with our food and I happily recommend D'Lish Fish ļæ½
Ian McSwan
Best fish and chips i have had for a long time. Definately worth a visit if you rver come to port melbourne
Sue Hardiman
Best fish n chips I have had in ages so fresh and not to overdone with batter ļæ½
Rodney McGregor
Delicious fish and the crunchiest fresh chips. Not cheap but worth the expense. Happily recommend
Nikki Harris
Had the fish tacos...yum, but need to hold back on the chilli in the chilli mayo, just a tad too spicy...other than that fast service was great as we had to board for a cruise...would definitely go back and definitely recommend you try this place ļæ½ļæ½
Kate Elle
Been eating by he sea at this establishment since the 1990ā€™s - itā€™s consistently amazing, fresh and the fish is definitely Dā€™ Lish. Donā€™t forget to check out their fabulous salads while youā€™re there. For those who like an ice cream dessert or an alcoholic bevvy they have those too. Donā€™t forget to find them on Uber Eats as well! Your first taste will leave you wanting more!!!
Ashley Jones
The best fish and chips Iā€™ve had in Melbourne for sure. Well worth a trip to Port Melbourne!
Jasmine Morunga
Best fish n chips ļæ½ waiting to board the Spirit and thought we'd pop in, stared at the menu umming and ahhing then ended up getting fish and chips, best decision we made ļæ½
Brad Szmerling
Delicious burger of the month (mushroom madness I think it was called). Personally thought the grilled calamari was too oily/garlicky and the chips couldā€™ve been a bit crispier but a solid 4 :)
Tracey Lee
So overpriced absolute rip off .rude staff will never go back
Shawna Shetty
Great place with a pretty view. The fish is light and non greasy and fish was delicious. Nice place with great service.
Omnivore By Nature
Really good fish and chips place, nice and light deep fry batter. Food and service remain good and professional in these uncertain covid times. Please keep going and hope you will get through this period, thanks.

My Key Three Pointers <br/>* Pleasantly surprised <br/>* Organized set up<br/>* The Brioche prawn slider yum <br/><br/>I have avoided this place for years, it always seems so busy. Having walked a fair distance and two hungry kids screaming for food I decided to overcome my fear of crowds and take a plunge. Waited in a line placed an order, was thinking Iā€™ll be waiting for hours but was ready in 15mins. They are a well tuned tank and everything seems super smooth. The weather was really nice so I was very surprised how quick and I was even more surprised with how good the food was. I got the kids a cheese burger, the kids pack with 3 fish bites, chips and potato cake. For myself I got The days special , Brioche bun with prawn mayo dill filling. This was a OMG moment. It tasted so good and I was not thinking about how far I just walked and the calories that I will put straight back on, so worth it. The cheeseburger, potato cake was a hit. Iā€™m not sure if I liked the chips they seemed so yellow in color. We also had gelato slightly disappointing they had no cones. I would recommend eating outside as the lines and people waiting to collect food is really overwhelming inside.
Morgs71
Not a bad place for some simple fish and chips on the waterfront at Port Melbourne. It gets really busy so the wait can be a while. There is a limited amount of seating, but if the weather is good there is more outside. Service was OK and the area was a little messy as some tables hadn't been cleared.<br/><br/>The food is your standard fish and chip shop fare, but it tastes pretty good and it seems fresh enough. Nothing made it really stand out to me, so I've definitely had better elsewhere, but I've also had worse. The fish was the best part of the meal. Overall, I found D'Lish Fish to be an OK experience.
ThE MOiStMaKeR
Service was alright, the gentleman who served us did seem pretty bored. The food was good. I ordered a salt and pepper squid pack which was really nice but I would say that the servings were way too big that I struggled to finish it (and I'm a big eater!)
Cormac
One of the better fish and chip places in Melbourne. Nice and fresh fish, good batter, not too greasy, I just wish homemade chips were available like in Ireland.
Amid
Ordered their food from Uber eats . It was about 25 bucks for a fish pack with large chips and extra fish which is a bit pricey but the taste was great. While it was delivered, taste was fresh and packed well. I think they are one of the best shops I have tried in South Melbourne area so will definitively them a go again !
Melbourne.Food
This place is the king of Fish n Chips in the whole area! Fresh fish, delicious chips with a fantastic view to enjoy the food!Surprise factor, their burgers are absolutely amazing too so make sure to give them a try! Minion approves!
Potatolover
A-ma-zing! I never would have thought that Iā€™d have probably the best burger Iā€™ve had from a fish and chip shop but I did!<br/>The fish and chips were also beautiful.<br/>Highly recommend if youā€™re in Port Melbourne but also worth the drive for a feed and walk along the beach.
Maria Condello
After a cruise, my husband and I ate here while waiting for our kids to pick us up. We had some of the best fish and chips ever!! Ordered the packs to try a little bit of everything and the potato cakes were fantastic but most noteworthy is the calamari!! Such tender pieces inside the batter, I could've eaten a dozen on my own!Ā <br/><br/>Great chips too! Was very busy but they were pumping the food out quickly for everyone. Wish we lived closer but will 100% visit again when we're in the area.
Food Josh
A great spot for that traditional fish and chips that you find yourself craving! I had the fried fish and my partner had the grilled fish. They were both brilliant and we look forward to coming back here in our next trip to Port Melbourne!
Sally
Have been here a couple of times, returned because of the great fish and chips!Ā <br/>However.... the WASTE with packaging! Whether you're eating in or not, everything is packaged up in cardboard and paper bags. For 2 meals of fish and chips we received 3 boxes/bags, which when we are not even leaving the premises to eat is SO unnecessary. Plastic cutlery on top of that... come on guys. I'm no hardcore environmental warrior but you need to do better than than these days :/
Simmyeats.Melb
After spending the day at the beach we just wanted a quick and hassle free bite to eat.Ā  D'lish was pumping, lots of people in the line to order and seating area.<br/><br/>Kitchen was busy but our wait wasn't too long.Ā  My cheeseburger was really good, loved the special sauce they used.Ā  Chips were good too and my friends all loved their food that they ordered too.Ā <br/><br/>Can see why this place is so packed!
George S
Dā€™Lish is a pretty accurate description. <br/><br/>This is the best Fish & Chips Iā€™ve had in Melbourne. <br/><br/>The place was packed due to a large Greek celebration nearby. The queue was 20 meters out the door, yet food was getting pumped out and everything was of great quality. <br/><br/>These guys have absolutely nailed it. <br/><br/>Everything we had was so good and, although slightly pricey, itā€™s definitely good value, based on the quality and location. <br/><br/>If there was one thing to critique, that would be the Prawns - both were very dry. Everything - perfection!<br/><br/>New favourite summer spot!!
GoodFoodSydney
Fish was oily and chips were soggy. They also try to charge 1.50 for tomato sauce after spending 29 bucks for a meal. Thereā€™s also no lavatories. I wonā€™t be going back anytime soon.
Glutton
The Manhattan burger is next level. Everything else is fresh and delicious. Always busy but service is prompt and friendly. Well worth the drive from the suburbs for fishā€™nā€™chips and burgers!
HungryMonkey
You know a place is good when they charge extra for sauce and you still struggle to find a free table. <br/><br/>Went there (out of my way, word of mouth) expecting another good fish and chip shop but was pleasantly surprised to find out its a great fish and chip shop. <br/>My salmon was grilled to perfection, crispy skin and bright pink inside. My partner had flake which was also delicious. Good quality of chips to compliment the meal and did I mention that the calamari here is awesome? <br/>Will be back for more
Freeo
Great fish and chips shop in Beacon Cove at Port Melbourne Pier.<br/><br/>Grilled fish was cooked perfectly and the chips were fantastic. Great portion of Greek salad to compliment the meal. <br/><br/>Definite winner for a casual bite near the water watching the cruise ships
Some Bunee Loves Food
Got the blue grenadier grilled fish, fish souvkaki and pineapple fritter. The grilled fish didn't look nice after a ride in the Uber eats drivers box but it tasted fresh, seasoned well with salt and pepper and was very nice. The pineapple fritter batter was crunchy and cinnamon made it all that yummier. The pineapple rings were very juicy and sweet.
Facebook User
Great food, quick service and a great place to sit and watch the world go by on a sunny Melbourne day. You must try the nutella balls, amazing!
Susan McGlinchey
I won't eat Fish and Chips anywhere else but here. I have been eating here for years and always great food. I always bring friends here and we are never disappointed. The Burgers are great too and Best Dim Sims. Thanks D'lish for many happy meals :)
Raiting
A great place for fish and chips and a beer. Always quick and friendly and really tasty food. If you need gluten free, as my wife does, their options there are something that set them apart - a really good GF batter. I'm generally sceptical of dim sims, but their ones were quality too. Only disappointment is overcharging on sauce.
Cookielessvee
This place is well known for their fish and chips but were came here for geloto. The geloto was soft and the mango flavour was zesty. The boysenberry icecream was decent and waffle cones were fresh and crispy.
Doodiethefoodieblogger
I've been coming to this fish and chip shop for a very long time and I can honestly say not once was it disappointing. I've had everything from the traditional fish and chips to the salads and the burgers, the quality of the food here is fantastic and you would not think the food was amazing from face value of the outside of the shop. definitely worth a try if you're in the area.
Dog McDogstein
So much freshness and tastiness spread across a large menu which caters for all eaters... A fish shop which has expanded its menu into surprising directions, but impressing customers by producing the goods šŸ‘Œ The perfect food option for a Summer meal with a location that is on point in the WaterFront precinct.
Penguin
Popped in for a quick bite. Calamari was absolutely delicious and the chips were hot and golden. Big shout out to Jim for his great service.
The Hand That Bites
I had been taking some photos at Princes Pier and I felt a little peckish. I checked Zomato and D'lish Fish popped up on the near me screen. The place was clean and the service was friendly. My fish was made to order and I really liked it, the batter was crispy and the fish was great. I just wish they used real chips. They are good enough though, I just thought the sauce was expensive. I'd definitely go back to D'lish, but I've got a few other chip shops to work through first.
HogUp
Just one word *Amazing* the fish and chips as well as the burgers ... A good place to just hang out by the port with some beers... will definately go back here
Brandan Chong
Check out the gains on that guy! Have you seen a burger this big at a fish & chip joint? No, see above/below!<br/><br/>D'Lish Fish in Port Melbourne don't just do traditional fish & chips, but they also do burgers, souvlakis and desserts! But then again being so close to sea, their fish & chips were the highlight and man they were fresh and delicious! The burgers are awesome too, so give them a shot!<br/><br/>Most those HD photos were taken by the Cheesy.boys so check them out and check D'Lish Fish out!!
Little Foodie
Manhattan burger baby!!!<br/>I had only ever stopped here for a skewer and salad after a run.<br/>Not somewhere I would have come for a burger (self confessed Burger snob) I was in the area dying for a burger. I read a few great reviews and thought I'd try it out.<br/>Hoping it was going to be worth the calories and I wouldn't leave disappointed I thought well here goes nothing.....<br/>Looked very good.<br/>First bite YAY good burger!<br/>Second bite WOW very good burger!<br/>8/1O for the Manhattan!<br/>DEF will be on my go to burger list when in the area!<br/>Thank you!<br/>Will be back!!!!
Mouth On A Mission
Your go to fish and chip shop by the beach.<br/><br/>D'lish Fish delivers some of the freshest and most d'lish fish and chips this side of Melbourne, offering all the classics alongside some amazing burgers and other options for those not in the mood for just the ordinary. Despite it's often busy shop the food comes out in a timely manner and staff are always very firendly, even during peak hours you can enjoy the sunsetting over the bay while you wait for your meal. D'lish Fish is by far my favorite fish and chip shop in Melbourne and is a must try if you are in the area looking for something to crave that post beach day meal.
WillAfon
Awesome food! I think these guys produce the best fish & chip shop burg in Melbourne. Deep fried Nutella balls were unreal, and even better in a burger lol. Can't wait to come back!
Foodie
Visited here for takeaway fish n chips on a friday night... port melb was super busy and d'lish fish was the only place that would even answer our phone call. D'lish fish perfect name, so nice and fresh!
George David Michaelides
Super location for a fish and chip venue, especially in winter. The gym pack offers great value for $15.50 for a grilled option. I remember when this used to be called Rex Hunts dlish fish and it is very similar in terms of layout inside. Highly recommend
Jane Le
Consistent quality seafood every time! Perfectly fried and quick turnaround. They know how to handle large numbers of orders. New tartare is better than before <br/>Love having fish and chips here with the family every time we visit Port Melbourne
Split The Bill
On a hot summers night we walked here to try the burgers. We thought they were ok. We ordered The Burger which tasted like a homemade burger and The Manhattan which was better as it had a lot of pickles. We also had small chips to share which were actually the smallest serve of chips I've ever had and were your standard chunky cut you get from your suburban fish and chip store. Not my first choice fish n chip shop in Port Melbourne, I think the location is the best thing about it.
Picky ''C''
Great fish and chips , by the beach , seagulls ,water so what else can you ask for ??? <br/>Maybe a better potato cake ? , just asking .šŸ˜<br/>Fresh fish and amazing chips but potato cake a let down .. .....
Nicole Wamba
When we arrived at Dlish Fish there was a fairly big line. We new this place was popular but didn't know how popular. It moved pretty quick and when the food arrived we new exactly why it was popular. The food here was unbelievable. Fish was mouth watering. Burgers we're scrumptious and the chips were D Lish, mind the pun. Worth it!
Spudsburgeradventures
Tucked away down near the Spirit of Tasmania dock, this fish and chip shop may not be easy access for some people but if you can get down there you wonā€™t be disappointed. The food is phenomenal, some of the best burgers around and their servings of fish and chips are very generous. You can also enjoy a beer while your there and then try a deep fried mars bar or Nutella ball for dessert (soooo good!).
Melbourne To Mouth
I donā€™t come to Port Melbourne enough, and I should. Especially now that I know what amazingness Dā€™lish are churning out; beef, fish, chicken burgers, fried everything and dessert to boot - you canā€™t possibly walk away hungry from this place. Deep fried balls of Nutella! South Melb dim sims! Definitely soon to be a fave summer spot down here.
Good Food Good Mood
I was lucky enough to be part of the Dā€™lish VIP night and having not been there for about ten years I can wholeheartedly confirm that itā€™s bigger and better than ever. <br/>Sitting outside with a spectacular view of the pier was perfection on such a summery Melbourne evening and its the ideal location for a fish and chip meal. But not only do they do a stellar potato cake and some of the absolute best calamari rings Iā€™ve ever had (seriously sensationally tender) their burgers are pretty impressive too. Embracing the f&c theme many of my fellow bloggers opted to customise their burgers with potato cakes, crab sticks and dim sims. I jumped on the bandwagon with a potato cake in the chicken schnitzel burger which was a fine choice. A very good quality bun too.<br/>What really got me going however was the dessert. Not only do they have your standard pineapple and banana fritters they also have a wide range of ice cream from which I enjoyed a delicious salted caramel and mango cone. <br/><br/>In addition to this they take deep fried to the next level with fried mars bars but also with Nutella balls. Legit deep fried balls of Nutella. I was in utter heaven. If excessive calories arenā€™t your thing they also have tasty lamb skewers and salads, but seriously though get the Nutella. Oh and they serve alcohol too #winning
Cheesy.boys
Fish, burgers, fried dimmies, potato cakes and desserts this place does it all! These arenā€™t your standard old school fish and chip shop burgers either, the Ingredients were all fresh, high quality and extremely well presented. Highly recommend finishing your meal off with a Nutella donut or deep fried mars bar!
Phi Truong
It was infuriating to arrive at D'lish on a friday night at 8pm to only be told that they are closed. ( They were not closed, they were holding a xmas function). What makes it even worse was that i had to pay for parking and drive over 30min to get there with my 8 month pregnant wife and baby. Guess i will never return. Instead went to Hunky Dory in port melbourne and thoroughly enjoyed. At least our night ended well.
@foodtom
If you're after a place that has fish and chips and more, then this is your place to go too. They have such a wide variety of food and I must say that I love all of them. Especially the flake šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘
DamoForce Food
Fresh beef and great beef. The beef is of a qualityĀ cut. Goes down a treat and there are plenty of options for you and your other half to enjoy for lunch and dinner.
Foodlovermelbs
Ordered the fish and chips with calamari and prawn and the beef bacon burger. The Fish is one of the best ones Iā€™ve had in Melbourne. The prawn was nice crisp and meaty. Two of the calamari rings were a bit soggy but one of the calamari is nice and crispy. The burger was nice and juicy and bun tasted fresh! The chips were also slightly soggy. But overall a very good place when youā€™re craving some good fish and and chips.
Burgers Of Melbourne
More than just your average fish and chip shop, Dlish also have a wicked range of BURGERS! They source their beef from one of Melbourne's best butches and they cook bacon to a fine crisp. A big difference between Dlish and most other fish and chip places is Dlish have a whole gluten free range! Potato cakes, fries, dim sims and fish can all be battered in gluten-free batter and are fried in a separateĀ area to keep from contamination. Do not leave Dlish without getting dessert - Fries Nutella balls!!!
Emily Jade Fraser-Ison
Absolutely amazing the food was great went on Sunday expecting to wait for ages only waited about 20 minutes and the food was amazing and cheap!
Chris I
Feel completely ripped off after going here. The prices are wayyyy too high for tasteless junk. I can get fish and chips for half the price of this place that taste so much better. I want my money back.
Loz Arthur
Absolutely delightful fish and chip shop! It has a great atmosphere being in such a location to overlook the bay and was buzzing with customers! The chips were almost perfect! Hot and crunchy with a handful of soft ones and sprinkled with just enough salt. If you're in the area I'd highly recommend popping in!
Master Foodie
Overall the food and service was average, it wasn't bad but nothing special either. It is very much a standard fish and chip shop. The chips are the standard hot chips you would get in any suburban fish and chip shop. There is no option for a fish/chip/salad pack which most eateries would offer, so I had to buy everything individually and ended up spending a lot more. On the plus side, they have a good variety including salt and pepper calamari, different types of hamburgers, a few pre-made salads and they serve some basic alcohol.Ā <br/><br/>I have been here before and it used to be better. This shop used to have a name for itself but it hasn't kept up with the times. Food/service needs a bit of an upgrade. Tables need to be wiped down between customers.
Fried Chicken Connoisseur
Amazing Calamari, so moist and easy to bite through! Fried or grilled. Chips were good, but the calamari seriously was the best I ever had.<br/><br/>So happy stopped by here before taking trip to Tassie
Mousom Sarkar
Reasonable price...great location..especially if u have your dinner during sunset...golden colored sky and its reflection from the crystal clear sea makes u feel amazing....all kind of fish are really fresh...service and team are awesome...and i need to tell u that i love the veg burger..too....have been there many times...and i will go again....worth trying....
Mary-mia Ioculano
One of my favourite places to go and have fish and chips and sit on one of the benches and watch the sunset. Love the fish and chips I found fish was very fresh. Has a variety of beverages and serves cider as well. The place does get very busy on the weekend so you do have to wait in a small line. enjoyed the fish and chips and sitting outside.šŸ‘Œ
Andrew Furlanetto
This place would have to be the best fish and chips in Melbourne. I have been to many great fish and chips around Australia and I would say this by far one of the best ones I have been too. The fish is amazing. The scallops are amazing. And the burgers best burger I have had
DEM
Absolutely terrible. Ā Very disappointed as my husband and I would visit here on the odd sunny/warm day, but never again. My potato cake was not eatable, looked and tasted like cardboard - microwaved. Ā I didn't try my husbands hamburger that he didn't like but ate as he paid $10 and was very hungary (usually anything tastes nice). On top of the bad meal comes the mosquito infestation.
LL
Great for groups and beautiful spot for fish and chips on the water. Fresh and Fairly good portions but a bit too greasy. Could be drained a bit longer. Skip the dim sum.
LeanGuy
Best burger in Melbourne!! We've been on the lookout for the best burger in Australia. This comes second best. The burger buns are fantastic. If you love your burgers then try The Burger. Fantastic!!!
Arnold Keith
Bad customer service, and I mean BAD, not only from the service girl but from the manager as well. We requested some change and we were tread like rubbish. We requested for our table to be cleaned and it wasn't.<br/>We eat at this place at least twice a month and we drag family down with us, not any more. :( <br/>We like your food but won't be back to be treated like rubbish.
Jelena Jelikic
My friend and l took 7 kids with us to Dā€™Lish Fish for dinner last night. It was absolutely divine. We had the burgers, calamari rings, chips, flake, fish and chips. It was the best fish and chips we have had. The kids loved it just as much as we did. Will definitely go there again as we normally visit Luna Park and are baffled where to go for dinner with the kids, the restaurants nearby are way too pricey. This was perfect. Delicious food, reasonably priced. Oh did l forget to mention they have the BEST BURGERS EVER. Thank you for a great experience we will be visiting you again in the nearby future.
Dominic Svensson
Decent fish in excellent batter. Lots of old people so the queue moves slowly but the cooking takes even longer (big kitchen but not many staff) so don't stress. The prices are quite reasonable. The seats are often full but everything is served in cardboard so you can just walk over to the water. When you see the terrible reviews for other restaurants in the area, your best option might just be fish and chips by the water.
Natsu
Usually this place is great, however when we went there on Monday (public holiday) the fish smelled and tasted like ammonia. I wasn't sure what the issue was, but when I did a bit of googling, i found out that this is a sign of off fish. Next time I will return the fish immediately if it smells like that.<br/>I sent the restaurant an email about the issue and they never replied.
MsV
First time to D'Lish Fish. We felt like burgers on the day, gave the 'fish burger' and 'the burger' a try. One thing that stood out for us was the amazing burger buns- delicious! We enjoyed our burgers with a side of chips. We loved the fact even though it was busy we didn't wait long for our food. We are looking forward to go back and trying other menu items.
Sandra Qingxia Xu
The fish and chips are so good! No wonder it is so popular and ppl lines up for it! The batter are very light and crispy, chips are not overly salty! All the seafood are just so fresh, we tried flake, calamari, salt and pepper squid, grilled salmon scallop, I can feel my saliva! Absolutely lovely it! Forgot to take the photos, we sat along the seat and watched sunset, such a beautiful place! Will come back and have fish and chips!
Stuart8
Could be so much better. Perfect location but you pay for it with inflated prices. The pack/bundles aren't as good as many other fish and chip shops.
Askl
Fresh seafood and good batter. Defs in our top 5 fish n chips locations. I have been to this fosh and chios place for many years and i stopped going there due to the fact we moved house. Today we returned many years after the last visit and it is still how i remembered it .
Simon Ng
Really nice fish and chips. Crisp chips, light and crunchy batter on thick flake and well grilled Blue Grenadier. The fish cake was even light and soft inside with a crispy crumb. All round a very pleasant (if decidedly unhealthy) meal. Setting wasn't bad either with the sun dipping below the horizon over the water.
Clotilde.blanchet10
First time eating here. Had calamari and chips. Calamari had a lovely crumbly crispy coating and was very tender and perfectly cooked. Really delicious. Chips were good too. Finished with passion fruit sorbet - again very tasty not too sweet. The location is great but popular places can sometime be disappointing. I was pleasantly surprised. Very good.
Nicholas Burgess
Warm night thought I would take my family for the classic fish and chips by the bay, my god what a very ordinary meal the batter is well horrible, awful in fact only commercial beverages available yuck yuck yuck <br/><br/>This place should be great what a location I should have been wiser it was quite on a warm night
Telegraph
Nothing particularly exciting. It's fish and chips at a good fast food level. Bit expensive. It's annoying that items cost so much but they only accept cash only. Staff seem unhappy when we went.
George Cockerill
The best fried fish in Melbourne. Excellent value and the kitchen work hard to get the food out fast and with care. Tables provided but not really a restaurant experience - better to take out and eat by the sea nearby.
Vita Mentis
The Good: Best burger in Melbourne!<br/>The Bad: if you're going to charge such those prices then you must get eftpos.
Johndkennett
Good food,good value. Visited February '14. Good fish and chips. Nicely cooked to order , staff friendly and helpful.Good value.
MikhaelfBlue
The flake was wonderfully fresh with no hint of fishiness, perfectly cooked inside and coated with a crisp, light batter. Delicious.

This was lunch at D'Lish Fish some weeks ago (or actually, 2 months ago), after attending Sunday mass at St. Joseph. We ordered grilled salmon, 1 on its own for me ($8.90), and 1 salmon pack ($12.50 with minimum chips and 2 pcs calamari) for O. That was a

Fantastic chips. Chips great. Tasty fish. Short wait. Good stuff.
RayCharles
Terrible customer service, rude and arrogant. Chips were ok but the fish eas tasteless and far from fresh!
Tara-glen
Over priced and oily!. Didn't enjoy our lunch there today fish was ok but very oily (and tasted as thought the oil needed changing) calamari was stringy and tough and quite fishy in taste. It cost us $55 for lunch for myself, my husband, a seven year old who only want nuggets and our 3 year old. So basically a kids pack, 2x snack packs and a drink for the four if us cost $55 - pricey and not nice! And I'm still feel sick from all the oil.............

Great fresh food. This place is my weekly pilgrimage. Love the gym pack with grilled fish, brown rice, and beetroot and feta salad. Yum..

Horrible. The chips were OFF; the fish pathetic; the staff unfriendly and everything was overpriced. <br/>Above all the contraption they serve as a Greek salad is an absolute joke. You have to see it to believe it.<br/><br/>Do yourself a favour and avoid this one.

In my top 3 for fish and chip places in Melbourne. Great portions and the quality if fish is also great! Highly recommend.

Horrible and way over priced. <br/>Taking advantage of their position.

Worst ever. Had a $25 pack and spent $50 on other food. Good god the flake was horrible - soft and wet not flakey. Tasted like it had been frozen. The fish had no flavour! The salad was a joke - brown leaves and soggy tomato. Don't bother eating there unless you are starving.

On a long weekend and holiday Monday, this place was busy. Ordered basic flake and chips; have to say it was one of the best t/away I have had for a long time. Perfectly cooked. Service good, stood in the queue but smooth ordering process and food arrived quickly. 10/10.

Every time we order or eat in, it's always fresh and the flake is so crispy and best batter around town! Salmon pack also a good way to go! We end up here weekly! So good! Best fish and chips in port!

Very nice. We chose to visit as staying nearby and they also had gluten-free batter for one of our friends. Calamari rings tender and flavoursome, salmon grilled to order and a large serving. Otherwise a nice fish and chip shop, you can sit inside comfortably. Service was fine. Happy to return.

Yuck. "Let's try something new" I said to my wife..Bad move, when Port Melbourne has Hunky Dory and Old Salt. Pretty much the worst fish and chips I've ever had. Crusty fish that tastes like oil and dry, crumby scallops and prawns, and I think the salads are over a week old To top it off, the place is filthy. Apologies to my Pregnant wife, I hope I haven't harmed our unborn child.

Best fish and chips ever!. I've eaten here a few times and each time I've thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Great battered fish, not greasy at all. The scallops were delicious and the potato cakes and dim sims were tasty. We love to take our fish and chips and eat on the beach on a warm summer's evening. Can't beat it!

Not so D'Lish Fish. Ok so where to start..... we ordered the duet dish pack which had 2 pieces of fish, 2 dim sims, 2 potato cakes, 2 prawns in batter and chips.<br/>Our thoughts on this waste of money meal is.... <br/>Fish - first bite was alright but then totally fell apart and had to try eat the sloppy remainder with a plastic fork.<br/>Dim Sims - If thats what they really were.....Over cooked/or under cooked who knows because they were the worst dim sim, took one bite and spat it out.<br/>Potato Cakes - AGAIN took one bite and thought we were eating an old tyre cut into circles, battered and fried....<br/>2 Prawn things......Managed one bite and that was it!!!<br/>Chips - How hard is it to get chips right - No chicken salt = Crap<br/>We thought being on the bay it would of been really nice food but wow we were wrong....<br/>Word of advice if you want fish and chips go somewhere else....We are trying Hunky Dory's next time.<br/>Keep it real fellow reviewers.

Fried flake was amazing it melted in my mouth. I love this place.

We waited 40 minutes for our food. We were waiting in line and they skip our order in the line. When confronted they said they forgot to cook our food. They offered a refund. We went down the road to Hunky Dory on Bay St and the food and service was much better.

Super expensive. Compare to other place around here, this place is twice as expensive. Good fish but too expensive. Cant justify the price.

Best fish and chips that i have had. Definitely a place the wife and i return to consistently. Priced well, wont put a dent in your pocket or leave you hungry. If anything you wish you had space for more!
Hueyboy
Have the fish. Perfect batter and fresh juicy fish, great value, fresh and fast

Definitely one of the best flakes I've had in Australia. The batter is perfect and not oily. Never had crumbed battered scallops before however these were great as the texture of the crumb with the roe blends in well. The service is great, clean, fast and the staff are quite friendly. This place is buzzing during the day and is located in a beautiful part of Port Melbourne where you can take the kids & pets for a walk. Definitely will be back....worth every dollar spent!!

Went there on Anzac day, ordered fish of the day, costed $9.30 but the size of the fish were the size of fish fingers!! Definitely not value for money! I'll never go there again!
