I had delicious and fresh - half a dozen of oysters with lemon, vinaigrette and/or tobasco sauce; chargoaled calamari, aioli with little side salad for entree and to top it off with Fried Snickers for main �All staff were super friendly, bubbly and answered all my curious questions about their menu. Def return for other yummy food items and Fried Snickers is DA BEST!!! Thanks guys ���
Ps also thought fair priced
Great fresh seafood , best tasting batter I've had in ages . Fast & friendly service . Will be back for sure
Grill burramundi was grilled well. Patato cakes were crispy & batter not to much. Pineapple fritters were the BEST!!!!
Love this place.
Yummy everything and great staff.
They even remember my rare name <3
Great place for fish and chips, and they have great salads to choose from, with a tasty dressing
Yummy teriyaki salmon. Perfect size for lunch. Will def revisit.
They don't just call it Melbourne's best fish n chips place. Must try if you are on bridgeroad.
Awesome fresh fish and nice sized burgers!
I recommend it for it was a good experience and good value!
Wow delicious!! Best batter? Best flake! Sweet potato chip?! Who can object to that!
Only thing is burgers are really fat and weigh a tonne, could use less beef and probably a thinner lighter bun, like brioche perhaps.. But overall yum!
The flake in beer batter was soft & sweet. Combined with sweet potato chips plus pumpkin and baby spinach salad and washed down with Mountain Goat beer it was just delicious. Fantastic service, highly recommended.
Fish and Chips. So fresh and it melts in your mouth.
Fish grilled to perfection, excellent customer service, will dine in again :) thanks
Great food and service! Always made to feel welcome. Favourite fish shop in Melbourne!!
Wonderful company and a SENSATIONAL meal with the girls. Man I am full - thanks heaps!!!
Grabbed some take away from here. My fish burger with spicy sauce was good, the salad was fresh, the fish tasty, but personally I didn't like the hamburger bun as it had no texture and no flavour. It was like a sugar bun which is not for me.
The additional fish burger that my partner ordered was good too, ans the pineapple added some additional sweetness was tasty.
The potato cake was tasty and not greasy at all.
But the overall winner for me was the sweet potato fries which were seasoned well, and they tasted like beer battered chips. They were really moorish.
The ease of ordering through google was great, user friendly and no fuss.
Previous review - May 2016
My partner took me here for dinner tonight. We both had the blue grenadine w a potato cake and sweet potato chips.
The fish was delicious, and the sweet potato chips were amazingly good haha
But the potato cake was really ordinary and it tastes like it was a couple of days old and it was served like warm, not piping hot and steamy.
But you can have a beer or a wine here which is great and it was warm inside on a cold night.
You will not find a better fish & chip place in Melbourne. Period. Fresh fish on display and arrives daily. Very reasonably priced. Awesome lunch deals. Great staff. I can’t commend this place enough. Burger lunch special is one of my favs along with the calamari salad. Bought some fresh blue grenadier & salmon to cook at home and amazing.
Great fish and chips place with character.
The food was pretty good, as was the ambience.
The grilled salmon had a tasty touch of sesame seeds, which added texture to every bite.
The chips were pretty standard. Grilled calamari was above average so couldn’t fault it! Will definitely return!
This is our local go-to fish and chip shop. It’s always buzzing and we’ve been coming here for years. We regularly order the fish market for 1 and the fish burger. The sweet potato fries are awesome and their normal chips are chunky like they should be. A seafood stick and pineapple fritter are a staple for us. They always have a bunch of vibrant salads and grilled fish options too. This little chippy is great for a good local feed.
Fish market is my go to fish n chip joint in Richmond. The Rockling with greek salad is delicious. Fish is so fresh and priced appropriately.
An upmarket Hunky Dory.
The rice is better, the fish is better and the presentation of food is done with a lot more care than the chain.
Great local beers available with friendly staff.
Will recommend to anyone who lives locally for a great nutritional take away meal when you don't have time to cook.
Great fish and chip venue always has quality fish and chips whether for s it down or take away, friendly staff and a nice indoor/outdoor area.
As far as the humble fish and chips go....this is the shit. A class act. Love the small things such as venue lighting, plating, readily ready water and no annoying extra charge for tartare or tomato sauce. The quality of our grilled and fried fish was a cut above avg, and the dim sum was superb. It will be hard to go back to my usual suburban fish and chippery.
This is the best place to come and get fish and salad, chips too btw. When ever i come here i always get the tuna steak with the asian salad and it is always fresh and dope. The only downfall is that they don't have enough condiments, like soy sauce
Love this place! Great food, great quantity, great interior, great staff - basically GREAT! I cannot boast enough about this place enough. Well worth the visit!
Good flake, good chips, good potato cakes, good value. Good grief! A great fish and chippery!
Comparatively light on the batter than your old school fish and chips so the fish and potato cakes had a nice thin veneer of crispy goodness. We had the pack for 2 which came with some interesting but no less delish dimmies. Def give this place a run.
Nice place especially on a nice sunny day. The fish and chips here are definitely tastier and less greasy but they also charge a fair but more too. Good variety of not your normal salads and the place is fitted out well. Friendly guys who cook the fresh selection of seafood on display for you.
On a summers day in Richmond the last thing you want for lunch is something heavy, greasy and fattening (especially if you're wanting to fit into that bikini in a couple of weeks), so my partner and I went to the Fish Market on bridge road for something healthy!
We ordered grilled barramundi with a side of 3 bean salad to share. Holy-Molly, the fish was a 10/10... It was tender and the skin was so crunchy, I haven't had a fish grilled like that and don't even get me started on the salad!! It had me taking notes replicate at home!!
Must see if you're on bridge road!
Rivals Hunky Dory. Fish is a lot better. Well cooked. Greek salad complimented the dish not your average fish n chip store...............4/5
Try the Fish Burger but get it battered and fried. Really, really good. Sometimes they get busy at lunch and there is a wait but this is solid fish and chips in a much nicer atmosphere.
Friendly service. Not as greasy as one would suspect. Fish tasted great, but was slightly overcooked. Salad was running out, and so was my first choice fish, so had to amend my order.
The Fish Market offers something beyond your standard fish and chip shop experience. Cleaner and less greasy, I love the healthier options for a quick dinner (grilled fish, salad and rice) and the value of the Fish Market for 2 when I'm feeling a bit more indulgent.
Fresh fish is always good! Lots of seats, option to sit out in the sun if the weather is decent. Waiting time is about 15 minutes on average. Grilled fish and salad for $10 is always a decent lunch option.
The fish we ordered is fresh and coated with very crispy battered, the only downside is the battered is rather thick and oily, will go there more often if they make it less oily/healthy. Their beef burger is very nice too!
If you have craving for fried seafood this is the place. Chris the owner opened this place cause he just can't find good fish and chips in Richmond. The seafood is so fresh and the chips are cooked to perfection
Absolutely loved the fish and chips here at The Fish Market. I'd say skip the dimsims and potato cakes, and go all out on the battered fish. Fried to perfection - golden and crunchy. Thumbs up!!
Nomnomnomnom! Sweet potato chippies and perfectly cooked, fall apart fish. Home made tartare was a winner! Mixed reviews we give it a double thumbs up. Nice guys too!
This place is the best. salmon. prawn skewer. both a good time. get after those omega 3s. five stars.
Craving FnC, chose the Open Greek Fish Pita ... well hello...awesome meal! Good choice.
Great!!!!!!! Will be back. Great food, had the grilled calamari. Was incredibly tasty ! Will be back. Staff super friendly aswell!!
I took my parents for lunch today and it was lovely! Good service, good food and good value in a comfortable venue. Will go again.
Fresh! fresh! fresh!. Fantastic fresh fish great value had a soft shell crab burger (huge) guys behind the counter very helpful we also ate chargrilled salmon half shell scollops with pesto and crispy beer batter fried flathead tails and some chips and a lovely fresh beetroot feta and walnut salad cant go wrong in this place well done guys we will be back.
Great local spot!!. Fish is lovely and fresh, not frozen!!! Salads are always tasty and made fresh daily! This is the best fish and chip shop in Richmond!! If you are hungry try the burgers!!! Great service too, very friendly
Oysters to die for. Soft crab, seared tuna, scallop skewers, sweet potato chips and mouth watering salads, are amongst the items on the menu to try. Cooked with simple ingredients eg garlic, parsley, ginger, packs the dishes with delicious flavours. Don't let the "take away" shop look fool you. Friendly service! This casual eat out has become a Sunday ritual.
The Beef Inferno Burger from the fish market is the epitome of Melbourne burgers, a glorious compilation of melted cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayo, egg, onion and the king of the lot, a fiery sauce of ultimate glory. If you enjoy burgers, you will enjoy the delicious inferno. Currently under taking the ten day-ferno challenge.
Yes.. I was concerned about this one. The reviews on Urbanspoon were mixed, and some savage. But, I was craving good fish and chips - and the 'word of mouth reviews' from Richmond locals had been positive.
Looking at Urbanspoon, I expected to be met by rude, arrogant and horrendous staff. For example, one review wrote "They said they let all their fish sit at the window until higher paying customers dine in". NOW, do you really think anyone would actually ever say that? I say no, and expect a number of the bad reviews are 'Urbanspoofing' (fake reviews from other traders?).
The PROOF WAS IN THE PUDDING. The two staff working were exceptionally friendly - they joked around and treated me very well. Great guys. They talked to another customer at length about the different kinds of fresh fish in the window.
As for the fish, it was delicious. It was battered to perfection and served crispy (not soggy). Particularly impressive was the beer flavour that was actually detectable in the beer batter. A rarity.
The chips were good, and the salad was both unique (asparagus, rocket and sun-dried tomato) and fresh. Once again, the 'Urbanspoofing' reviews completely missed the mark.
Would I return? YES. Next time, I'll order something more advanced when I'm not craving the amazing simplicity of good old fish n chips.
Recommended.
A hidden gem!. It's hard to believe this place has so many bad reviews. I think there is a misunderstanding, this is not your average fish and chips shop. If you are after a cup of deep fired potato chips with a frozen fish and potato cakes move on, you'll be disappointed.
I go almost weekly to the fish market to enjoy fresh seafood, well prepared at a decent price. I always order something different (grilled snapper, salmon, burger, calamari, oysters, crab, lobster...) and I'm always delighted by the tastiness and freshness of the products.
There is also healthy and out-of-the-ordinary sides: sweet potatoes chips and 3 exotic salads (not your boring regular Greek salads with cheap Feta and grossly cut tomatoes...).
The only not-so-healthy item on the menu is a Mars or Snickers fried bar which is quite filling as you can imagine.
The staff has always been incredibly friendly with us since day one. The place can get busy at times but the service has always been quick and food delicious. I highly recommend it!
Wow...seriously good fish & chips!! We had the soft shell crab & steamed salmon & both were fantastic & ripping value. This is not your local f&c shop type....way better. Definitely going back.
Food was fresh and well presented. I highly recommend the sweet potato chips, they were crispy and delicious!
Really pleased with the food, nice and fresh. Good portion size. Staff can be friendlier. And guys! ...if you need to argue with each other, do it out the back away from customers. I'd go back though
Love this place !!! I go at least once a week and my family all agree its great fresh food ... They are a little pricey but the quality of the food dictates this ... I've found all the staff very friendly and can't recommend it enough ...
Dirty tables, dirty tables everywhere! Food was yum!
What a find. I'm a chef and has been for 20++ years , so you could say I know about food yes?? Then this place is great , love the freshness , taste . Big and juicy burgers , well grilled fish and chips. Salads always fresh . A great find for a very busy chef who needs fast food fresh , thanks guys, you rock!
Fresh and tasty. We absolutely love The Fish Market - the fish and seafood is really fresh; it is beautifully cooked and presented and the staff are friendly and attentive. Try the scallops - they are absolutely amazing!
Awesome fish, nice atmosphere lovely staff good prices for the quality. Ultra impressed!
Friendly service. Tried one of the specials, chargrilled calamari with a side of coleslaw. Fresh and tasty. Will head back to try other menu items. Good addition to the Bridge Road eateries.
I'll be back. Very good grilled fish. Chips first class. Service helpful and friendly.
Had the fish both grilled and battered and they were pretty good. Both the regular potato chips and sweet potato chips were awesome! Most fish and chips places tend to use average chips but the ones here hit the spot. The fish burger was different but I don't think it was a standout. Salads were average. Service was good.
Have tried the fish burger twice - awesome. Had a sardines special which was fantastic. Nice chips too.
Yum. Finally a proper fish and chip shop on Bridge road, everything I have had has been nice. Best calamari rings I've had (coated in panko crumbs) and my partner always gets something from the specials board and loves it. We've been going on Sunday arvos and it is a great little venue to sit and watch the football while enjoying your meal.
Finally fabulous fresh fish in Richmond!. We are old Richmonites and are so excited to see The Fish Market up and running on Bridge Rd, it's exactly what the area needs and the quality of food, friendly and expert staff and gorgeous Richmond fit out makes it the perfect place for fish'n chips! We bought some fresh fish to take home and were so impressed with the clean,fresh and unfrozen fish, the expert tips on how to cook it and the passion of the staff for healthy, fresh and sustainable fishing. We will definitely be back and make it a must stopover whenever we visit our old neighborhood. Great work guys!!
What a gorgeous place. Staff were so friendly and we had a lovely meal. We took the kids there for dinner and we had various stuff and all were delicious. So nice to have a quality and healthy spin on fish & chips. You get what you pay for and this place is worth it. Nothing like the greasy old local fish & chip shop. Well done guys we'll be back.
A noticeable step up from your local fish and chip shop!. Not sure why this places has received negative reviews. The food was fresh, the price was completely acceptable for Melbourne, and the portion sizes were huge; our dim sims and piece of flake were mammoth and the burger could almost feed two people!!
Love it!. I am really suprised that this place has got any bad reviews at all.
I had seriously been hoping that a decent fish and chip shop would open near my house.
The staff are great and the food is delicious!!
Healthy cheap eating. Just visited this new local fish and chippery - it has really yummy healthy food. I had a serve of grilled salmon with a side of tomato, rocket and fetta salad. Excellent Excellent Excellent. The salmon was perfectly cooked and the salad full of flavor. And it was under $15 for the fish and salad - you can't beat it. My husband had a burger, which was ridiculously huge and very very tasty....the caramelised onion is a winner. We will be back!
Loved it!!. Just had lunch at The Fish Market and it was delicious! My husband and i had burgers, they were HUGE and very tasty! The kids had fish bites and chips and really enjoyed them! We'll be back soon :-) Thanks
The freshest fish on Bridge Road, exceptional service from owners who care, and good quality, old fashioned fare.
Glad someone has brought this to Bridge road!
Went in with the family. The kids had delicious grilled flathead tails - they 'demolished' it - chips and potato cakes. Adults had Beef & Bacon burgers and a couple of scallops. Everything was delicious and loved the fact we could sit in the well decked out local 'Fish & Chip' shop and eat food that wasn't soggy. Will be back . . . hopefully next week!!!
Just had an awesome fish burger and beetroot salad, but the chargrilled sardines were off the scales!!
Delicious Seafood Tapas. Just had dinner here and it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I can't believe some of the seafood tapas coming out of this new fish and chippery. They taste like something you’d get at a serious seafood restaurant like Atlantic.
My BF and I ate a whole char-grilled baby snapper, teriyaki salmon skewers, oysters Kilpatrick, chips and coleslaw. Then for dessert we had a banana fritter and a deep fried Mars bar which went so well together.
The food was delish, the guys behind the counter were friendly and funny (even though they were getting slammed with so many orders) and the place was buzzing, will be back soon :)
Great Fish and Chips - Highly Recommended. The place was fresh, clean and service was good well suited restaurant for the Richmond area.
I work in the area and I have visited the other fish and chips shop down the road and it is not clean at all.
At least the food is top quality and I am sure to go there at least once a week.
Fresh best in richmond. I have lived and worked in Richmond for over 20 years and to this date in my opinion this is the best fish and chips that has been available. I have eaten in and purchased take away from The Fish Market. The service is fantastic, the food is fresh very fresh well prepared and well presented. the burgers are awesome. Bridge Rd has always struggled with good quality eateries but over the last 6 months has really taken an overhaul. The Fish Market is a breath of fresh air for Richmond. Thanks for the excellent food and service
Impressive!! Chic and fresh. Loved it. New weekly stop over!
About Time. I love the fact that we have fresh fish and chips in Richmond and instead of taking it away, we can eat it in the cafe.
Great work.
New & Fresh!. Been watching the fitout of this place over the past
couple of months and finally got to try over the weekend.
Love the interior and the garlick grilled prawns!! Two thumbs up.
Great Richmond Fish & Chips...Finally!. Went here on the weekend....had a grilled flake cooked prefectly, potato cakes were A1 - crispy & salty on the outside with soft potato within and a refreshing fennel, orange & rocket salad.
The fitout is light & fresh - best fitout on Bridge Rd at the moment.
All in all it was a delicious meal....will be back!
My new favourite fish stop!! Super fresh and super healthy – bring the fish market to Bridge Road and then putting a burger bar in it!! It’s like two geniuses collided and thought “what does Bridge Road need” And now we have it!! So you can select from the array of fresh, lovely fish at the fish bar and take home oysters, snapper and more to cook up at home OR they can cook a little something up for you! The fish and burger bar will provide grilled or fried fish packs to enjoy, burgers galore with beef and bacon, traditional, beef inferno, chicken and of course Fish! And the grilled fish burger. Firstly, it is massive!! You could easily share with a friend! Secondly, it is gorgeous. Big fillers of grilled fish with salad and tartare……. Perfection. Teamed with a big old box of sweet potato fries for the team and we add feeling super healthy and super naughty all at the same time!! Yum!!!
The Fish Market is surprisingly spacious, with the usual ordering and frying up area out front, but plenty of seating out back as well. A small, but concise menu makes decision making quick and easy.
Grabbed some take away from here. My fish burger with spicy sauce was good, the salad was fresh, the fish tasty, but personally I didn't like the hamburger bun as it had no texture and no flavour. It was like a sugar bun which is not for me.
The additional fish burger that my partner ordered was good too, ans the pineapple added some additional sweetness was tasty.
The potato cake was tasty and not greasy at all.
But the overall winner for me was the sweet potato fries which were seasoned well, and they tasted like beer battered chips. They were really moorish.
The ease of ordering through google was great, user friendly and no fuss.
You will not find a better fish & chip place in Melbourne. Period. Fresh fish on display and arrives daily. Very reasonably priced. Awesome lunch deals. Great staff. I can’t commend this place enough. Burger lunch special is one of my favs along with the calamari salad. Bought some fresh blue grenadier & salmon to cook at home and amazing.
The service was very good. Friendly guy. Three salt and pepper calamari was cooked to perfection and very tasty with a nice aoli on the side. The potato cakes were good and the cold beer spot on. Exactly what was needed on the hot day.
Fresh seafood and an option of being grilled or fried. They serve with chips but also have salad options. So you can go and be healthy and have a grilled fresh fish with a lovely salad, or be a huge fatty and have a massive deep fried fish and chips. I went for the second option 😂
The fish and chips were perfect. The batter was how it should be, tasty and crunchy.
I ordered Lunch special Fish(battered)and chips with potato cakes. The fish was Flake. It was so tasty and rich in good fatty. Sweet potato chips was also awesome!! Not oily but tasty. I will definitely come back.
