Scales Fish Chippery Brunswick East

Scales is not your typical fish and chip shop - it's a real treat! Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. They offer salmon on the menu, which was super tasty, and they also have a great selection of fresh salads to accompany your fish and chips. The prawn skewer is a must-try, with various toppings to choose from - I went with garlic and it was delicious. The restaurant is very spacious with comfortable seating both indoors and outdoors, making it perfect for dining in or for a fabulous take away option.

There’s got to be more than just fish and chips at Scales! You walk into a nice spacious fish and chip shop with a display window of fresh seafood at the front and another display of fresh salad ranges available.<br/ <br/ There was a good range of options on the menu and we decided to try the fish and chips and the grilled seafood skewers. They come with different sides options and we went with the rice and salad<br/ <br/ The fish and chips is nice and the batter was light and crunchy. It was very fresh and the salads were good.

The restaurant offers spacious and comfortable seating, a wide range of menu options, friendly staff, and deliciously fresh food. What more could you ask for? I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Scales and would highly recommend a visit. We ordered the Prawn Seafood Skewer Pack with rice and salad, the Fish Burger with chips, and a few sides including a battered hot dog, potato cake, and sweet potato chips. Everything was perfect, with no faults to be found. I give it a big thumbs up.

Scales is a quality fish and chip restaurant just off Lygon Street in Brunswick and served up top quality seafood, burgers wraps along with a beer or wine in comfortable environs. <br/ <br/ Tonight we came back for a second bite at the menu and was pleased to see the place was as popular as ever. Both on a bit of a health focus we steered away from the battered fish options opting instead for grilled Salmon with a quality Greek salad and chips (because we’re only human after all). I had a grilled fish burger which was just superb with generous tartar, slaw and tomatoes. <br/ <br/ As with the chips and because it was Friday we ordered a side of some of the most tender salt and pepper calamari and we remembered how good the potato cakes were so snuck some those in too. <br/ <br/ For a second time the menu really impressed and the communal tables inside seemed to be a real hit with families serving hungry kids. A real step up from the usual F C. <br/ <br/ <br/ <br/ Previous Review<br/ <br/ 4<br/ 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.<br/ <br/ 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. <br/ <br/ 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). <br/ <br/ 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. <br/ <br/ 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.<br/ <br/ We just drank soft drinks tonight but noted that beer and wine was available should you feel the need. <br/ <br/ 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.

Not your average suburban fish and chip shop, Scales takes this Aussie favourite to the next level. Located in a perfect spot, just off of Lygon St; this fish and chippery is a huge, modern space with a really cool decor, lots of natural light due to the floor length windows, and ample seating inside and out. Displays of fresh seafood tempt diners, and the smell is just delicious. Fully licensed, we were able to start off with a nice glass of wine and beer while we read over the menu. There is a good combination of deep fried classics such as dim sims and potato cakes, as well as a lovely choice of fresh seafood options such as prawn skewers, fresh fish and a few varieties of handmade salads. <br/ <br/ We chose a good mix of dishes, and it was more than enough for four people. We had a dinner pack, which came a generous piece of battered flake, as well as calamari rings, potato cakes and plenty of chips. We also ordered extra potato cakes, as they are a family favourite. Everything was amazing. The batter was light and crispy, the fish was fresh and there was just the right amount of salt. The potato cakes lived up to our expectations and were soft, crispy and delicious. <br/ <br/ A separate dish of crumbed calamari was divine, and the fish burger was huge with it's fresh fish and bun, and plenty of salad. To be a bit more health conscious, we also chose a plate of fresh fish, which came with a side of brown rice and Greek salad. This plate was my favourite, as the freshness of the salad really complemented the grilled fish. There was so much flavour in such a simple dish, which is great for people wanting healthier options. <br/ <br/ Scales was extremely busy on the day we were there. We were surrounded by families, couples and groups of friends, and plentyof people were also ordering take away. The staff were under the pump, but service was still really efficient, and our food arrived promptly and was perfectly prepared. I found the staff to be really lovely and welcoming. This amazing fish and chippery is a great spot to visit for some classic Australian flavours, and the chilled vibe and delicious food is sure to keep you coming back.
