Beluga Fish & Chippery South Yarra
Crispy batter and fluffy chips define this reliable favourite, with many praising the moist fish and perfectly cooked potato cakes. While most enjoy the consistent quality and friendly service, one recent visit suffered from soft, chewy batter that lacked any crunch.

“Best fish and chips place ever. Home away from home. Been coming here for 10 years. Chips, fish and salad always consistent. Staff are like family now. I love this place! Everyone I bring here has always said that this is the best place they've been to for fish and chips by far as well!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
