Pretty good serving size. Even better food. Would visit again post lockdown. They use best quality fish. Worth checking them out whenever you are in the area.
These guys have easily the best chips from
a fish and chip shop I’ve ever tried. The chicken salt they use is worth dying for. Keep up the good work guys you’re on fire!
Lovely lunch here. Fresh and delicious fried fish and chips. Blue grenadier fish was very fresh. Crispy chips. Asian Slaw salad was a good side to have with the meal.

Overall score: 17/25 or ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
in 5 words: come here for mashed peas
*
Taste ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - ordered the English fish and chips. The mashed peas is one of the best I’ve had - buttery and delicious! fish was delicious, just the right amount of batter!
Honestly, not the biggest fan of their thick cut fries - it tastes a bit bland sometimes. But the reason I keep coming back is because of their fish and mashed peas.
Oh, their lunch offers are great too. The fish burger at $10 is a huge winner that will put a certain fillet o fish burger to shame.
*
Ambience ⭐️⭐️⭐️ - This shop is consistently clean and looks so inviting. Cheap and cheerful!
*
Price ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️- a fish and chips generally costs $14 but we had 30% off on EatClub. I’ve also ordered this on Ubereats and the fish and chips tasted great.
*
Presentation ⭐️⭐️⭐️- the fish and chips looked delicious and we couldn’t wait to tuck in!
*
Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️ - service was fast and friendly.
We order for delivery. And the fish was hot and batter crunchy. Chips were fine. A chipper box meal is a decent serving size, which was filling.
Really good fish n chips in Windsor. Tasty fish options, crispy batter, glorious chips. Great interior. Service was swift and friendly. I’m kinda hooked on this place.
Surprised by how good it was, had the grilled blue grenadier with a superfood salad and brown rice, it was fresh and clean. Sweet potato chips hit the spot too.
Quality fish a chips on Chapel St in Windsor. Not only do these guys do great fish, but the beef burger was amazing! I decided to double up and it was a great move. Meet was cooked perfectly and it had nice cheese melt. Fish is available both grilled and fried as you would expect. Packs are well priced and are good value.
We walked past one day and caught a glimpse of some of their reel deals. So we had to bookmark it and return. We did that are were pleasantly surprised by how good the fish and calarmai was. Along with everything else as well.
Would I return? Does Uber eats count?
Ordered several times from Hooked for one particular thing I must admit... the Panko Crumbed Fish Burger. Perfect ratio of fresh fish to burger bun - there is nothing worse than too much bread/not enough burger in my opinion. The flavours are well thought out, yet simple. I do however add hot sauce when it arrives but that’s just me: I’m a saucy person and a hot one at that. It’s quick, it’s cheap, it’s addictive. (As per image I accidentally ordered a fish burrito last time too - no judgements. It was nice but has nothing on the burger). Only qualm; the Japanese mayo is NOT spicy. Like, at all.
Average fish and chips at the very best. Their grilled calamari and chips were dried out. Perhaps the cook was having an off day?
The only savior was their tartare sauce and their chilli aioli. For $15 a meal, you had to pay $1.50 for these as well. So that was a shame.

Came here on rainy afternoon and was thoroughly impressed by the calamari and chips! You can definitely see that they change their oil very regularly. lightly fried calamari with nice fat chips. A bit disappointing that sauce was not provided but calamari was well seasoned enough to not need sauce. Didn’t really understand how they could justify asking an extra $2 for a superfood salad that just had some extra broccoli in it. Will return though.
Order through ubereats one serve of chips, gummy flank and asian coleslaw, I was satisfied with what they offer. The fish was seasoned beautifully and the sweet potatoes chip was fantastic. I love it! Would love to come to the actual place to have a meal too!
Really enjoyed a great value lunch special at $12.50 for barramundi +rice or chips + salad today. Had the Asian slaw with grilled barramundi (it's a decent serve- a bit on the smaller side) but enough to enjoy with the serve or rice and salad. My partner and I shared rice on one dish and sweet potato fries (which were SO GOOD). We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and it was a cheap and quick option for a weekday lunch.
I do dislike the extra charge of $2 to have another salad (extra greens) instead of rice or chips. Other than its a great spot for a quick and easy (and cheap!) feed.
Pleasantly surprised by this place. Has the look and feel of a quaint, proviciancial beach house and a nice seating arrangement. Our seafood platter was tasty and the mussels were delightful. The sauce was delicious and smelled of the fresh ocean, perfect to be the dip for the bread and left over fries. Hooked is also competitively priced for what it is.
This is my local fish n chipper in Windsor. Their chips are fat and tasty, their salt and pepper squid is tender and crisp, the batter on the fish is light, and the fish is cooked well. My go to meal is the box for one which has the battered fish, chips, tartare and smashed peas. Service is friendly, quick service, I really can't say anything bad about this place.
Hooked’s restaurant will get you in the mood for fish and chips, with it nautical knick-knacks and giant octopus mural adorning the walls. While Hooked’s menu has recently been refreshed with burgers and burritos, today I’m going with the classic fare of Salt and Pepper Calamari.
Came here tonight with my sister for a quick snack. We just ordered a large chips to share. Service was quick and friendly, and the price for the large chips ($7.95) was quite reasonable when the box came out- very decent portion size! We'd intended to have it takeaway but decided to just sit down and eat them in the end. The chips were cooked to perfection- crispy and fluffy and well-seasoned, too! The decor is stylish inside and it is a nice place to sit and have a meal- or a quick snack! I recommend this place for upmarket style fish and chips!
These guys still make the best salt and pepper calamari in Melbourne. And its only $10 with lunch special. Cant lose. The handcut chips used to be much better though. I dont know what happened there
One of my favourite fish and chips shop in Melbourne, there 10$ lunch deal is so awesome, totally worth it
Staff is very friendly as well
Totally recommend it
Thanks
Ever since this place has opened, it has been one of my food options to must eat at when out with a bunch of friends, other than Nandos. 😆
The service team is exceptional at this store, I've always have had positive experiences! Legit, the server/waiter/waitress will ask how your meal is going. Such a rare thing to witness these days unless you're at a snazzy place. The wait time has been quick, around the 10 min mark but often at times, less than that when it's not busy.
My favourite is the fish burger lunch special. I either get this everytime or their catch of the day with chips without the mashed greens (which I don't like and you can ask to take it off and get more chips instead for the same price).
Love, love, love, this place!! Regularly get the lunch time special for $10 'English fish and chips' great portion size, delicious chunky cut chips, Light crispy battered fish. With the option of having the fish grilled with a range of salads for a healthier option, and THE BEST part they have sarsons vinegar!!!!!! The fish burrito is also delicious, great tasting sauce with a spicy fresh tang. I highly recommend this place.
Very tasty fish and chips indeed!! My wife ordered salt and pepper calamari whilst I ordered battered barramundi, both of which were cooked to perfection. The salt and pepper calamari was crispy and crunchy, seasoned just right. The barramundi was battered lightly with a fresh crunch evident - the fish contained inside was beautifully moist with no hint of dryness present. The chips and salad served alongside the fish were ok, but nothing extraordinary.
Customer service over the telephone and in person were brilliant. It was obvious that the team were keen to obtain and retain customer clientele and willing to assist in any way possible with terrific menu explanations and friendly interactions at the counter and at the tables. Two thumbs up!! 👍🏻👍🏻
P.S. Locals with ID proving residence within the local postcode receive 20% off orders between 6pm and 9pm on Tuesday evenings - score!! 👍🏻
The grilled fish with quinoa salad & brown rice are really good! Never know can go healthy like this😃. They also have lunch promo at only 10dollars. Will come back here again in the future time :)
Hooked on Hooked. Honestly has one of the best deals in Melbourne going around with amazing $10 lunch specials. I use to visit their other store in Fotsroy and from what I've found is that no matter which hooked you go to, all the food I've ever tried at a few different locations, is that they all taste great. Great service by the team here as well. So tasty and my friend is now hooked also.
Finally got to go here and wasn't disappointed! Best fish and chips I have had. Truthfully that says a lot coming from myself as I am a Queenslander originally and I have had a lot of fish and chips from growing up there. Yes my fish was a little oily compared to my partners but it was so crunchy and flaky. Would have like to see my chips as crunchy as the fish. Good value for what you get I believe. 👌🏽
I have always been a fan of seafood. I grew up in a household where we always have a seafood dish on the table amongst other morsel. I must say I was impressed at the salt & pepper calamari. I really enjoyed that. The location of this place is also good for people watching. The staff were also nice and friendly. I will go back.
Heard good thing about the dory burger and wasn't disappointed. The burger was as good as the hyped but the chips not so much....a little soggy.
I like the food, it's pricey but it's yummy. I tried the fish pie once, I found a few bones in it so beware, but the grilled fish and the fish burgers are delicious. Smashed peas were yummy too! Great service, cute nautical themed place. I come here from time to time.
First time trying Hooked after walking past many times. Delicious super fresh seafood with plenty of healthy options! Had their lunch special which was grilled blue grenadier, Asian greens and chips for a steal (about $10 from memory) and was extremely impressed with the dish. Fish was cooked well, greens were tender and flavourful and the chips... hand cut and rustic - big & fluffy pieces mixed with the small & crispy ones (LOVE)!! perfect for a casual bite and amazing value for money, definitely prefer over Hunky Dory :)
Just had lunch at Hooked Fish & Chipper for the first time. And I'm quite impressed. I had the grilled dory burger and a side of chips. The dory was cooked beautifully, so tender and seasoned well. The only downfall was the burger was slightly too salty for my taste. It was possibly the sauce that was too salty or perhaps the pickles. Minor complaint though. I'd still order it again. Chips were good and a generous side serve. I'll be back.
Just had the chipper box with rice and salad and the salt and pepper calamari and tartare sauce, sooooo good! The flavours were awesome, the size was perfect and it was exactly what I was looking for
Raymond Good has been bringing sustainable and healthy options to Melbourne’s fish and chip scene since he opened up his first Hooked on Chapel St in 2006. Now he is bringing the classics. Neale White of Flinders Lane’s lauded Papa Goose and ex-chef of Gordon Ramsay has teamed up with Good to craft a new winter menu inspired by classic British comfort food.
The battered house fish was excellent, so light and crispy. I like that you can swap out the chips for brown rice & greens, makes for a nice healthy alternative. The calamari was tender however I wasn't a big fan of the spices used in the batter. The ambience was nice, would return.
Nice atmosphere, and the lobster roll was delicious!
Had the calamari and chips which I really enjoyed, though I found it quite pricy for the few pieces calamari you actually get. Asked for aioli or mayonnaise which wasn't available also. Probably not gonna come back, though it was nice food
Great decor and spacious dining area, Hooked is not your average fish and chip joint. Stepping in kind of makes you feel like you’re on a ship restaurant, with all the sailor inspired displays. Tonight we were in pretty late (1 hour before closing time), but in time for a quick bite. The staff seemed pretty distracted and we were a little rushed. I guess they were trying to clean up to get out for the night.

Some of the best fish and chips and seafood delights in Melbourne! And let’s face it – we all need a great fish and chippery. Hooked is more than just a fish and chippery offering refined seafood choices! There are several Hooked restaurants in Melbourne and hoping for more. What a find!
So fresh!. Love the cheap lunch special.thegriled scallops,tuna & salmon-speciale
Regularly hooked. Overall good fish and chips place, love the fish burrito and taco especially. Great takeaway service too.
Soft shell crab burger on brioche bun with chips and slaw was probably one of the nicest meals I've had recently! Would recommend nom nom
Went in to hooked for the first time last night for takeaways and was totally impressed not only by the delicious and well cooked food but also by the friendly red head behind the counter. He was lovely! And dealt well with a very busy restaurant and a long line of takeaway customers. Will be coming back again!
Amazing veggie burger. Chip.... Amazing veggie burger.
Chips and potato cake were mind blowing.....
A must place to visit
Hooked on Hooked. Love hooked great healthy food - highly recommend the Tacos both fish and grilled prawn are a winner with just the right amount of zing. Mrs had the grilled house fish and superfood salad telling me it was delicious fresh and healthy.
Can't go wrong with hooked which is lucky as it's the only fish and chip shop around.
Love hooked. Love Hooked. The chips are heaven!! Grilled fish with their salads are a winner too. My boyfriend loves the fishburger and tacos. Definitely recommend
Pros and cons.. I like the idea of a healthy seafood place. There are many improvements that need to be made.
First off, I want to say the young lady at the front on Wed 23rd was extremely polite, pleasant, and helped me with all my choices (as I rarely eat seafood). Thanks for the great service.
The menu is quite limited.
I ordered Tas Salmon, which came with a side of asian vegetables (bok choy and broccoli I think), plus a bit of brown rice and a side of mini chips.
The chips were just so bland....tasteless. As was the brown rice. I also don't think brown rice fit in with the type of food being served...it just does not fit in with the other flavours.
The vegetables were delicious. Loved the flavour, but lay off the butter (if that's what it was).
The winner was the salmon, beautifully cooked and crispy!
Loved every morsel of it.
I'd like to see this place do well, but still needs a few improvements.
Healthy and yummy. Walked passed the shop, saw what seemed to be juicy grilled fish and fresh salads and decided to head in for lunch.
We ordered grilled fish of the day with their salad (can't recall the name but it was one of the two featured for the day). The fish was fresh and nicely grilled and the salad was just delicious! It was a mix of brocolli, rocket, spinach, peas, sunflower seeds, quinoa, etc. We finished every bit of it.
For $10.95 pp, we had a satisfying and healthy lunch!
Will definitely be back for more.
Love the fish, and the side dishes.
No where else I would have gone for a fish and chips!
I've just recently moved to melbourne and have been eating here and loving it! love my traditional fish 'n chips but really appreciate being able to get a healthy alternative with brown rice and asian greens. yuuumm!!
Great local. Just discovered this local gem. Fantastic healthy and fresh take on fish & chips. Awesome, will be back.
I love this place!!! I have coeliac disease and my housemate has a severe nut, egg and dairy allergy and this is our new #1. The staff are so helpful and knowledgable (unlike many places who either roll their eyes or aren't interested) and the food is so delicious and fresh! Much cheaper than buying seafood in out hometown Hobart. Love it!!
I don’t normally eat fish n chips but these were great. Good calamari and nice fat crispy chips
Yum, Yum, Yum. Best Fish & Chips in Melbourne. Since my partner and I moved to Melbourne we have tried a range of fish and chip shops and Hooked is by far the winner out of the bunch. Best batter, best chips (you can tell they don't use frozen ones like your average fish shop.) Great service every time we have been there as well!
I had heard about Hooked's new taco range and I wasn't disappointed! The fish taco is to die for and do cheap at only $5.50. Saw they had re-introduced the potato cake...delicious. I will be back for more!
Hooked indeed. Sustainable, healthy seafood if thats what floats your boat go here.
Reasonable prices as well with a lovely small dining in area if you can find a spot. A special note needs to be made of the variety of contemporary magazines available for the sole or unsocial diner.
The daily lunch special is unbeatable value with a range of choices avaliable. You can get a straight fish and chips with thick crunchy chips and homemade sauces for dipping. The side of rice and bokchoy is also an option though it is often way overdone with soy sauce. The salad is healthy with bean sprouts and ginger, i recommend the half and half where you predictably get half of each side.
The service though a little on the slow side after the order is placed is friendly and laid back.
Fish requires a delicate touch with heat and hooked consistently get it right, only one occasion out of about 10 iv'e had under cooked calamari.
Would i go there again? Yes, am now a regular and have a loyalty card.
8/10
Healthy takeaway.. Bit expensive but worth it for a healthy takeaway option.
I said i liked it...but its rather over rated..quite pricey as well
Hooked on Hooked. Went to Hooked for the first time after hearing many good reviews. They are good! Crispy tempura batter, and those crunchy, chunky chips..so good! Highly recommended.
Love the fresh fish and thick cut chips here. The sticky rice is a real hit and miss. At times it can be nicely cooked with a slight bite to it, but other times it has been overcooked to the point of being so mushy it feels like mashed potato
Solid choice for fish and chips; prawns beautifully fresh with a great side salad and the fish boxes a good value option. The service was average and more staff are desperately needed. Dependable, but nothing exciting. B+
Tasty!!!. Love the flavours in the veggie burger. Have been told the fish is really nice. The brown rice and bok choi is pretty tasty too.
2 thumbs up!!
Delicious and Healthy. Dined at Hooked for the first time on the weekend and have already been back for lunch this week. The quality of food (as compared to generic Fish & Chips shops) is of a much higher standard. The flavours are delicious, and the choice of options for sides is a delightful step outside of the typical. I think it represents great value for money as well.
Great food. Makes you feel good about fish&chips. Definitely good value for money!
Fish n chips with a twist. The essense of this place is fish n chips done well with a few extras thrown in. The chips are chunky but still perfectly cooked. The side dipping sauces are amazing, Asian Sabal is a lemongrass chilli, coriander, ginger & garlic mix that is amazing. Pricer than a normal fish n chip shop but much better value than a pub fish n chips. Highly recommended.
Yum, healthy and although a little pricey it's worth it. The sticky rice& bokchoy are great instead of chips
Can't go wrong. Hooked offer great fish choices and a great serving of salad. They also provide some trimmings which add to the presentation and the variety of the food. The sweet potato shavings remind me of FishMongers in Byron Bay, in fact, the entire feel of Hooked I believe is based on this same iconic shop in Byron Bay. Definitely go back there again. Service with a smile!
Nice. Awesome staff who remember faces, $14 for fish & salad/corn is pretty decently priced as it is good quality food.
Tempura batter is a league above the normal beer batter you find in other fish & chip shops. Once you add the cost of fish and sides + quality it works out to be cheaper to go to Hooked ;)
Pretty good. Ate here on the weekend, got the fish (japanese crumbed with onion, cucumber etc) burger and small serve of chips. The serve of chips was pretty generous and I couldn't finish them all. Burger was very tasty. Not a lot of fish and chip shops in inner Melbourne so it will be interesting to see if a competitor springs up.
Rest of the menu is a little pricey though.
Fantastic fish and chips!
Fantastic! Love it!. I have to say that the first thing that made me fall in love with Hooked is the staff - the counter staff are always smiling and welcoming which really means a lot to me.
There food is fresh, delicious and full of flavour. I just recently went again a few days ago and tried the fisherman's soup and wow! I was very impressed. I don't think I have had soup that good at a 5 star restaurant - definitely worth it. Also their calamari, and king prawns are to die for. I think this place is a winner.
Better than Fish and Chips. Probably the best fish and chips this side of the Yarra. In fact the best I can remember in recent years except for restaurants where you pay $35 or more for this. Who wants fish&chips anyway when you can have fish, sticky rice and bok choy? Delicious!
Pricey but good. Yeah it's expensive, but I can imagine how much the overheads like rent and staff cost. It's always tasty and fresh. The staff have always been friendly and welcoming. Love the tuna burger. The fact that there is always a line when I go, shows that the locals love it.
Superb. 9/10!
Best fish and chips I've had in a long time. Fresh, plenty of options and the lunch box with salad and corn is excellent value. The salad alone, is delicious!
Nice decor, layout and the better side of chapel st in Windsor!
Highly recommended, in fact heading back there for lunch today.
Been here on and off for years. The new owners since March 2022 are great. The food is awesome, fresh, healthy...the service is always friendly and they always remember me. Thanks for the lovely dinners, guys
I am so in love with there food it’s super delicious + fresh cooked. And so reasonable and such a friendly staff. PERFECT FUEL FOR THE DAY…..!!!!!!

This is the third time. I am a customer who coming here regularly. it is amazing that you giving me a virtual middle finger by giving me this food. . I asked you golden chips. you have confirmed you will give me golden chips. means no brown and burned chips. means less frying. make it 1-2 min less frying. ask for training. its easy, simple, common! frying chips is the simplest task you can do. Please don't tell me that the chips is like that. what are these? are these for eating or for decoration? Remove the rubbish, remove them if they are not look good.
Attention to the manager. mate! what are you doing? what your job? train your employee. mate, wake up. stop it. stop it.
common, this brand don't know how to fry chips?
Been eating here for years. Time to leave a review. Thank you for all the amazing food! Love the fish burrito- personal fav. Kids love the chicken and chips.
I am same Behrang!
Today, I have ordered special lunch with golden chips! Yes! this is what should be done for the next 10 years regarding the quality of chips! golden, beautiful and appetizing! I am happy with it! and feeling I have considered. and not embarrassed in front of my freind!
Thanks!
