Scales Fish and Chippery is just off Lygon in Brunswick East and was light bright and sparkling clean, so we were very happy to sit in and eat. With quite a sizeable area there was plenty of seating to choose from. When we arrived there was a pile of Uber Eats orders being prepared and walk ins waiting to collect and take away. You kind of expected the crowds being Friday night fish and chips.
We chose the Grilled fish pack, (fish of the day) with a salad of your choice served with & either rice or chips. There was a lovely selection of salads to try from so I opted for the Greek salad to go with my grilled fish and chips (and sneaky potato cake) on the side.
The Potato cake was scorching hot, beautifully cooked through and delightfully crunchy. The grilled fish of the day was succulent, boneless and has a delightful after taste of delicate herbs. The salad was fresh with a lovely lemony vinagette dressing. The chips where crunchy, and cooked to a light golden colour, not at all oily and not over seasoned, (salt and pepper is provided on the tables for those who want more).
We also ordered the Anglers pack which contained battered flake, 2 battered calamari rings, a potato cake and chips. The flake was a good solid piece of fish and the calamari were super tender.
We also ordered a prawn skewer with were covered in a garlic and sweet chilli sauce. These were poppy and flavoursome morsels and a yummy addition.
We just drank soft drinks tonight but noted that beer and wine was available should you feel the need.
It was really nice to eat in on quality plates and with real cutlery in such nice surrounds which is often not an option at other fish and chip shops. Thanks to Mert and the team for inviting us in to try out the menu.
Everything about Scales shrieks loud….except for the food.
In a great location with a big open and very spacious eating area, modern fit out and friendly staff it should and could be a lot more.
The only reason for a comment and a score is that they serve a few good beers and some fair wines. The fish and chips though are an absolute let down as are the salads. Nothing special at all.
Better off going to your local fish and chippery.
