Pretty decent fish and chips. All the cooking is done in the back out of sight, which is different to almost every fish and chips place I've ever been to. We came in to an extremely friendly reception from the staff, and they were quick to offer us altered pack options that weren't on the signs based on our number, without us having to ask.
Fish was well-cooked, not overly battered, but pieces were small. Chips were easily above average, nice and crispy throughout. I had my suspicions that this place would be your run-of-the-mill takeaway fish and chips joint, especially being in a small town, but White Salt turned out to exceed my expectations.
Hands down the freshest and biggest serve of fish and chips I've had in Victoria! You know the chips weren't frozen from a supermarket bag when they come in all shapes and sizes. You could actually taste the potato and not just grease. The fish was sooooo fresh and tasty (As is what Phillip island is famous for). Batter wasn't too thick and meat was really juicy. Service was really good as well. Definitely worth visiting!
I really liked the way my order was taken; the hospitality is excellent! This is a small shop and small bits are done for the ambience and feel, but it looks cute :)
As suggested by the lady at the counter, as a beginner I went with the local - Flake fish, and it was really smooth! The quantity is overwhelming too, but my only complaint is that it is too bland! The small piece of lemon and Aioli dip couldn't help me much! :(
I would have preferred a little spiced up batter, but I believe thats how the things are done, so be it!
P.S.: This was my first "Fish n chips" destination!
One of the best. Slightly more expensive than. Your average fish and chips but this is not an average chippery. Great selection of fresh fish and the thick chips are great.
This fish and chip shop brings it all up a level. Hand cut potato cakes, homemade tartare sauce, and local fish which a lot of places boast about, this one I believe. They offer packs and leave it to you which fish you prefer, we had flathead tails and blue grenader, both excellent, fresh, tender and steamy. Also ordered grilled salmon. Both counter and table seating. You must try this place its worth the drive.Best on Island.

White Salt Fish and Chippery gets my award for the best fish and chips on the Island. Hand cut chips and perfectly cooked fish, this place treats the classic fish and chips with a whole lot of love and care. Very busy at times but well worth the wait.
Visited White Salt last night and wasn't disappointed! The chips were tasty, fish tasted fresh and a few extra potato cakes were thrown in, which is always the sign of a good fish and chip shop. Service was fast and saved us cooking!!
This place has the best chips on Phillip Island. All hand cut. Costs a little bit (no less than anywhere else with this quality) more but well worth paying the extra. Friendly staff
We've been here several times already, and this is one of the best fish and chips joints around.
Not the cheapest fish and chips takeaway joint, a meal for 2 (with flathead) is around $30. But in that meal for 2 you get HEAPS of fresh flathead fillets, absolutely glorious. The batter is light but you still get that non-greasy crunchiness. Calamari rings and prawns are great too. The handcut chips are fantastic. We often couldn't finish the chips in one go but save them and reheat them on the grill the next day, and still good. Hubby and toddler love this place too.
Whenever we go to Phillip Island, we always drop by this place. Highly recommended
Easily the best fish and chips on the island. Clean, fresh and well worth any wait you might have. They serve real potato cakes that are hand cut, and not the out of the packet variety that you get from any other chippery. The quality is unmatched on PI.
The fish & chips was the best we've ever had to date. We ordered seafood basket and fish&chips and the flake was delicious. Potato wedges and fish were cooked to perfection, not oily or dry. The home-made tartar sauce was tasty. Staff were friendly and the food was great value for money. Can't wait to go over again!
Hands down the best fish and chips I've ever had. Went twice on the same day! The calamari was unbeatable the first time, and slightly over cooked the second time, but still fantastic thick bands of lightly battered goodness. The tempura vegetables were a winner, as were the hand cut chunky chips. Will visit again for sure. Also, they should start selling the tartare it was that good.
Easily the best fish and chips we've ever eaten... The funny thing was four of us ordered souvlakis from the nearby place (they were good) and my young daughter had fish and chips and potato cakes... it was a big serve and we all got to try some. We all raved and regretted our decision! The fish was the freshest I've ever eaten, the handcut chips and handcut potato cakes were amazing. I only wish this was my local!
We have never had Fish and Chips of this quality including the best rated Fish and Chip shop winners in Westbourne and Lower Parkstone near Bournemouth.
These guys are in a league of their own.
The freshly made potato chips, the light tempura batter, the succulent Blue Grenadier fish were all cooked to perfection.
We are just so disappointed that we did not try their other stuff while on our flying visit to Phillip Island: tartare sauce, calamari etc..
Oh well, I guess we just have to make another trip down under.
