Thumbs up for this Fitzroy Takeaway. Everything is made fresh to order, you can be assured you arrive home and the food is still piping hot. You can BYO fish and get it prepared the way you like. My recommendation is the Fish Burger which is a large portion of battered fish of the day in a roll. Delicious! Staff is friendly and efficient.

We stopped here on our way home as it was in our neighbourhood a couple of weeks ago and was so nice we’re back again tonight and can highly recommend it. The gurnard fish was really nice with a batter that was nice and non greasy. The sausage was amazing and the best I’ve had in a long time and the spring roll and pineapple fritters were very yummy. Thanks so much. Our new local . Lovely couple who run it. So polite and friendly.
