Is there anything that beats picking up a truckload of fried goodness from your favourite local fish and chip joint, heading to the beach and watching the sunset? Unless of course, you pair your feast with a nice cold beer. Now that's living.
We asked you for your top spots, so we could pull together the ultimate fish ‘n’ chip shop bucket list for you to hit. Here are 12 of the best fish and chip shops in Perth.
Mount Pleasant Fish And Chips
Mount Pleasant
If you're a fan of super crunchy chips, this spot has your back. Mount Pleasant Fish And Chips is known for its consistently crunchy potatoes, fried to perfection without being too greasy. The bara, squid and whiting here are also all top notch, so go ahead and fill that paper parcel up.
Fish Boss
East Victoria Park And Inglewood
Clearly Fish Boss is doing something right because their crispy fish and chips were the most suggested by a mile. Quality, friendly service, a great menu with a mix of healthy and battered options, not to mention those saucy fish tacos (which hot tip, you can get for $10 on Tuesdays)—yeah, we’re not too surprised to see this at the top of your list.
The Groper And His Wife
City Beach And Claremont
The Groper and His Wife is a City Beach institution so we were super chuffed to find out they opened a second location in Claremont. We recommend digging into the fisherman’s basket, but the grilled teriyaki salmon and prawn dumplings (available at Claremont only sorry!) are also winners.
Brighton Fish And Chips
Innaloo
There were a few fearful fans of this place when they announced they were moving from Brighton Road to Innaloo but turns out they can still deliver the goods. With some of the freshest fish around, these guys go absolutely bonkers on the weekend so call ahead.
Tankk Gourmet Fish & Chips
Como, Winthrop And Melville
With three locations south of the river, Tankk Gourmet Fish & Chips has got plenty of loyal followers, thanks largely to its insanely delish lemon pepper seasoning. Couple that with their killer $10 fish and chips deals on Mondays and Tuesdays and we completely get why Tankk’s one of your top go-tos.
Grand Lane Fish House
Perth CBD
Grand Lane Fish House serves crispy Euro-style fish and chips from a laneway behind Barrack Street, so you can always get your fill of fish and chips in the Perth CBD. The fish batter is light and the handcut chips are next level, but honestly, it’s the friendly, chatty chef at its helm that really keeps you coming back.
Canteen Trigg
Trigg
If you ask us, there’s really no better place to enjoy your fish and chippies than by the waves, so no wonder Canteen’s bountiful takeaway goodies are up there with the best of them. Big serves, a mix of traditional and healthier options and the tastiest fish, topped off with a heavenly sea breeze—it’s pretty hard to beat.
Kailis Bros Leederville
Leederville
You know you're in for the highest quality feed when you go direct to the guys who supply a lot of Perth's top restaurants. Kailis Bros makes the most of its super fresh seafood supplies, serving up a cracking fish and chips alongside next-level gourmet creations like their half WA rock lobster with three cheese mornay sauce that'll keep you coming back.
Amberjacks
Cottesloe And Elizabeth Quay
Amberjacks is a Cottesloe institution, and they've backed it up with another beautiful view to enjoy our fish and chips with thanks to the opening of their second location at Elizabeth Quay. Whichever outpost you go to, the fish and chips are delish and if you time things right you can watch an epic sunset while gorging on salty chippy goodness.
Mount Hawthorn Fish And Chips
Mount Hawthorn
Secret menus, a salt and vinegar bar and some of the best fish and chips around—you can't go wrong at Mount Hawthorn Fish & Chips. Everything on the salt and vinegar bar is made in-house, and you can choose from flavours like spiced mixed chilli salt, super lemon, chicken salt, brown malt vinegar, lemon juice and apple cider vinegar. These guys also cook up deep-fried Oreos coated in cinnamon sugar (they taste like Oreos wrapped in a doughnut).
Oh My Cod
Mount Lawley and Tuart Hill
Fresh fish fried in a light and airy batter, crisp chips and arguably the friendliest service around—it's no wonder Oh My Cod is so popular. Throw on a heavy dusting of their homemade rosemary salt and you're in for a very good night indeed.
Woodlands Fish And Chips
Woodlands
While the name isn’t the most imaginative, Woodlands Fish And Chips can be forgiven because the fish and chips are just so good. The fish is super fresh and the chips are amazing. Get the sweet chilli aioli and thank us later.
