Locals here are so friggen lucky. This place is an hour away from my home and half hour from my work. The best, freshest, cleanest place ever. Best fish n chippery in Melbourne
Just wanted to drop by and commend you on such wonderful service but it’s so much more than that. I watched while the place was super busy and buzzing with Uber orders, walk ins and phone orders going out.
Your leader was amazing, he was so polite to the young staff members and taking the time to train them so they could succeed he also told an Uber driver to cancel his second delivery because he didn’t want the other customer waiting too long for their food!
The care and pride that resonated from him and the other staff was exceptional.
The food was cooked to perfection and tasted great. It was only by chance that I stopped in tonight but I’m so grateful I did �!
Thank you!
Battered Calamari is the bomb!
And they were so very accommodating when my order was missing items. Highly recommend.
Fresh fish always and friendly staff. Their fish and chips are never too greasy, just right. I like their salads option too.
We stopped in here, hoping to find a good fish shop. It was better than we could have ever hoped for! The food was fantastic, and the service was great. We were privileged to meet one of the owners, and she was a sweetheart! This is definitely one of the highlights of our whole trip. Thank you!
Had a chance to have this incredible food on our visit to Australia. We will for sure be missing it when we get back to Canada.......do you deliver?? LOL
Best fish and chips ever andcthe salads delish
The best food it's always Clean Clean, Clean love the Boys!! Love the service too.
Best Fish N chips in town!
I came hungry, I left smiling and satisfied. Great food, clean and sharp looking premises and friendly service. Well worth the drive from 2 suburbs away.
Second to none for great quality food and service.... Highly recommended!!!!!
Fish On The High is the Best!!! Love the flake and amazing succulent chips!
Wowweeee what burgers! Magic!
Killer corn jacks. Mmmmmm
Amazing fish and chips! I have just moved to the area and have had the pleasure of getting food from Fish on High over a dozen times and it has never disappointed. Not only is the food incredible the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. It’s really hard to find takeaway places that offer this level of service and consistent quality which makes ordering from Fish on High a no brainer. I would recommend trying the grilled salmon pack or the fried snapper and chips.
Fish on High is our go to for Fish and Chips. Slightly more expensive than their counterparts around here but it's worth every penny for the freshness of the ingredients, nice crunch and delicious flavour combination (for the burgers). Highly recommend.
Very good fish and chips. Ordered for takeaway:
- whiting: well battered and salted, very tasty, large piece of fish, great value. Missing the slice of lemon though, which I feel is obligatory...
- chips: thick and well salted (although would've loved chicken salt instead)
- corn jack: great crispy outer shell, a little dryer on the inside, would've liked more corn for that additional sweetness/juiciness
- chiko roll: my partner said this was very good
- sausage in batter: tasty
- calamari rings: large, tasty, well battered. My partner thought this was the best he's had in Melbourne so far
- chicken nuggets: good (bit pricey at $1 each though)
Overall, very tasty food. Recommended.
Thank you to the friendly staff,I went there on Good Friday just wanting Scallops my friend and i were DELIGHTED with the quality ,size and lovely batter they were delicious and very moist .the BEST i have EVER had anywhere , the Best in Melbourne they will see a lot more of me .
I've been coming here for around a decade now, and it's the best fish'n'chippery I've found in Melbourne. Simply outstanding.
Great family-run business with bespoke-standard fish'n'chips at regular chippery prices. Always seem to treat their staff well, and a small but nice range of fresh salads and sauces to go with the takeaway. These guys are one of the very few places in this location doing more business than they were ten years ago, despite the wave of gentrification and competition that has swept the area.
Enjoyed a some very clean fish and chips here just recently. Staff was super helpful and the prices are quite reasonable. Chips were the standout. I could see by how clean the oil was that this is a well run outlet. Strongly recommended although the outside seating is a little cramped and close to a busy intersection. If parking is difficult there is an Aldi very close by. Shhhh.
Best potato cakes in Melbourne, hands down. The salmon pack is also pretty good too. But seriously, the potato cakes are amazing - soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside.
Not only are the fish and chips fresh, the salads are delicious. Conveniently located in Thornbury, close to home. Service is always on point and staff are friendly! Well done.
This is hands down the best fish and chip shop ever. Burgers are fresh and tasty. Fish is fresh melt in the mouth and not greasy. Best chips and everything else. Service is great also. I travel one hour from my home to eat from this little gem and half hour from my work. Absolutely delicious, locals are soooo lucky
This little fish and chips shop in Thornbury caters for everyone, from fish lovers, to beef burger addicts and vegetarians. Food is simply le and fresh. Salads are really delicious! Not too pricey, good quality.
Fantastic service and one of the nicest grilled salmon I've tasted! Excellent quality fish and chips, they even remember to include the slice of lemon ...free of charge! Will definitely return to try one of their tasty brioche burgers. Thanks.
Yum! This is some quality fish and chips. The potato cakes are fluffy on the inside crispy on the outside, seafood sticks are fresh & lightly battered and the fish is juicy and delicious, although I will say the flake is quite small for $7. Nonetheless delicious and fresh! I also had the Grain Salad with yoghurt dressing and it was beautiful. I will 100% be back!
I think fish on high is the best fish and chips shop ever! The chips are really,really good. Sometimes they can make you wait a bit but it is still a really good fish and chips shop.☺🍟
As far as take away fish and chips go I'd have to say it was pretty good. It just maybe could of came a bit quicker and had friendlier staff. Otherwise food was well proportioned and tasted great.😄
Fish on High is excellent, we were there on Good Friday. The staff were fantastic in the chaos that is Fish Friday. Food quality was great, the best fish and chips we have had in Melbourne. This will be our new local!!
I've been eating here for over a year now and I'm continually impressed by the consistently amazing food. The amount of effort that goes into providing fresh seasonal salads, as well as tasty fried treats is astounding. I ordinarily don't like fried food, but these guys have it nailed! It's fresh and crispy and doesn't taste like stale oil.. even after the 20 minute drive home! The new gourmet burger range is phenomenal,
My personal favourite is the southern fried chicken.
You can tell the staff care about the quality of their food and they're always friendly and efficient. Would highly recommend.
Easily the best fish and chips I've had in a long, long time. Ordered takeaway over the phone. The fish burger was like out of a tv commercial, so perfectly stacked and put together. And it tasted delightful, so fresh! And for $9.50 a pop?!! Crazy good! Great chips and potato cake, and special mention for the sweet potato chips which blew me away. This place is so unassuming you could walk right past it, but after eating their food it will definitely be my go-to for fish and chips.
Easily the best fish & chips in the northern suburbs. Quality food & quality service. Don't waste your time anywhere else.
Thankfully for me it's local!!
Can't fault it. My sister and I got the Fish Pack 2 and it was delicious, the best fish and chips I've had in this area hands down. They are also very professional and the shop and cooking area are spotless.
Came across this little shop one day while renovating and was the only one opened during the day on a week day. Service was quick and very professional. You can tell how much the staff care about customer service. Food was great and the chips were to perfection!
Oh my god! I had the wagyu beef burger on a brioche bun, sweet potato chips & potato cake! WOW. It was so delicious I was actually sad when I finished it. Everything was so fresh and full of flavour. The sweet potato chips are out of this world. I don't often like brioche buns because they're too sugary & soft but these did not lose their shape nor taste like sugar. I cannot wait for another refeed meal and to eat those sweet potato chips again! I highly recommend trying this place if you haven't!
This little shop delivers some of the best fish and chips on the market. The traditional burgers are great too. It's sourced , cooked and presented with passion, can't beat that.
Found "Fish on High" on Zomato and called ahead and put in an order for Fish Pack number 2.
The Fried Barramundi was nice, so to the Potato Cakes and Dim Sims. The portion of chips was a little small.
All in all it was good experience. Places like Glenroy Fish and Chippery offer better value, however the Barramundi was a winner and will have us ordering there again.
Hands down the best Fish and Chip shop in Melbourne. Everything is so fresh and made to perfection, plus the customer service is amazing!! My favourite item on the menu is the Mushroom burger, honestly never had anything tastier! Thanks Fish on High for the great food!

Well, as a foreigner, I am not accustomed to fish-and-chips societies, but I must admit this place delivers. I saw it being built and increasingly getting better (you will notice the worse reviews are the oldest).
I admit I go there because it's behind the corner, so I am glad it fosters my laziness. Nevertheless I judge it fairly above other similar shops in Northcote. In particular, I appreciated a lot the chef explaining me in detail what he can do for a person like me who has to eat gluten-free. My food intolerances developed much recently and I am still struggling when I try to explain my issue -- but the guy knew already what to do and make me feel comfortable.
Finally, the size of chips-only packages are huge! :D
Been coming here for a couple of years now. In my opinion, one of the best fish and chips in Melbourne. Always cooked to perfection and the chips are fresh and crispy. And I love what they are doing with the salad choices. Do yourself a favour and check these serious fish n chippers out.
Not only do these guys know how to cook but they know how to treat their customers. By far the best fish & chips in the area and very reasonably priced.
Burger with the LOT topped with their homemade Aioli. Delicious !
Best in the area, if not in Melbourne !. Went to this place on good Friday as i read an article in the Herald Sun that they were rated as top 10 in Melb. And even though the wait was a little long (as they were very very busy) but this place is head and shoulders above any fish and chip shop ive been too, especially as the surrounding shops dont have much to offer ! Fish was beautiful, chips had a perfect crunch and the potato cakes .. wow ! My girlfriend loved the healthy options (grain salad topped with fresh yoghurt) With grilled fish & their homemade aioli on the side .. dont bother with the rest, these guys were very friendly and know what they're doing ! Two thumbs up
Best fish n chips in the area - bar none.
Great staff who are very friendly.
Never disappoint. Love their chips.
ILovefood. We have been going to Fish on High for years. I am proud to write a glowing review for them. We travel two suburbs to get our super yummy fish and chips. Fresh, crunchy (but not to crunchy), lots of chips, inexpensive & friendly staff. Best Fish and chips in Melbourne
Excellent. This is a really good place, lovely crispy fresh fish, excellent crunchy chips, great home made Greek salads to take away, great grilled salmon. I agree potato cakes aren't awesome, but everything else is. also extremely friendly people and very quick. we love it
Excellent, old school fish & chips. Delicious, fresh and very reasonably priced. Proper, well cooked fish & chips. Will be back for annual Good Friday fare next year :)
Excellent. This is the best fish n chips in Thornbury. Deliciously crispy fish n chips. Great value snack pack. A must for locals. Great friendly service.
We seldom eat fish & chips. So when we do, this is our only stop. Consistant, fresh & generous.
Good work.
Delicious!. By far the best fish and chip shop going around.. fresh food and wonderful customer service! burger with the lot and aoili sauce a must!
Awesome generous and fresh
Without a doubt the best fish & chip shop burger I've ever had. Beef was nicely seasoned, the egg was cooked just beyond runny without being dry. Burger has a lot of fillings but the bread held up till the end. Super Burger is an apt name

Good Friday/Good Fish. The vagaries of the lunar calendar mean that on this, the Friday following the full moon after the vernal equinox, is Good Friday. It's gratifying that the Christians determined that Good Friday would be the day that all Australians eat fish and chips, because it means that we are mandated to go to Fish on High at least once a year.
Fish on High is, in essence, the Platonic ideal of a fish and chip shop. Fish cooked with an ideal meat/batter ratio, mushroom burgers that take other vegetarian fare out the back and whack them with a shovel, and chips that may well go down in history for preventing at least three international crises.
And of course, the good folk behind the bench exhibit all the qualities that various religious prophets have espoused: efficient service, laser focus, high-end customer service, and a finely-honed ability to estimate how long you should wait before collecting your order.
If it weren't for a lack of resources, I could not mount an argument as to why the city of Darebin should not form a paramilitary group and round up citizens of Thornbury and Preston once a week and force-feed them some minimum chips.
Do it. Tonight.
One of the best burgers I have ever had, plus the 2 boys are spunks
Fish n chips - suprisingly hard to find. Fresh grilled fish with fresh salads available great lunch alternative...Souvalaki's are a must!! Lean, fresh and not overcooked like most fish and chip shops... very clean,friendly and prompt service
Always Hits The Mark.. Consistently good food and friendly staff. My only criticism would be the portions are a bit on the large side :)
Perfect every time! I order my usual burger with bacon, cheese, cooked onion and aoli. It's a great combo and there are no fillers in the mince - 100% pure beef!! And my hubby gets his souvlaki which is made from lamb fillet - fresh not microwaved. Home made biscuits and desserts are a perfect touch to a great meal. Thanks Fish on High.
The best burgers. I am 8 years old, and I just had my first ever burger, from Fish on High. It was delicious, juicy and crisp, and I recommend you try one.
The ladies there are very nice, and when it's your first burger they write on your bag and give you a lollipop. I am going to frame my burger bag!
:-)
Satisfied !. Well for starters no matter what time of the day i walk in, the shop is always very clean and staff are very friendly. I am a vegetarian and they offer a delicious field mushroom burger which includes their delicious homemade aoli sauce .. Will be bringing friends and family here for sure !
Best Chips!. The chips at Fish on High are the best! They're cooked superbly, with a nice crunchy outside with a soft centre. If anyone is going to visit, make sure you get a big serving of the chips!
YUMM!. I've been to many Fish and Chip shops in the area but this one takes the cake!
My favourite is the souvlaki. The meat is marinated and cooked to perfection!
The chips are always crunchy and golden, and the batter on the fish just melts in your mouth. You can tell a lot of effort and time goes into the preparation of all the items on the menu at the shop. They even provide healthier options too, like freshly made greek salads with lamb or chicken, and fruit salads!
My only qualm would be the sausage in batter. It really isn't nice at all!
Otherwise, great service and fantastic quality food!
Found this place on Urbanspoon and tried it because of the positive reviews. Right on the money. Excellent fish, chips and steamed dim sims. Worth a try if you're in the area.

Fish on High. We really like this fish and chip shop since the new owners started there. Grilled fish is great, salads are fresh and chips are always good too. Best burger for me too.
Pretty standard fish and chips. We have been there a couple of times and it did the job for a take away meal when we couldn't be bothered cooking. Tonight, I had a souvlaki and it was ok. Will go back there for Friday night F&Cs.
Decent fish and chips. They don't limit themselves to fish and chips, they also do souvlaki, and good souvlaki too. give these guys a go
