What more could you want from a fish and chip shop. This place is quick, chips are super cheap, they're friendly, they get the job done. I just really like this place.

Three tables inside - so you'd want to be taking your food home. Quite a lot of options - your usual fish and chips shop food (fish, burgers, souvlakis), but some interesting additions - a fish souvlaki, veggie souvlaki, deep fried mars bars..

Prices are okay. I usually get grilled fish - they use a fair bit of oil though, even when 'grilling'. It's nice fish - not the best I've had, but good enough for me to go there regularly.

I sometimes share a burger (not because they're big, but because I like to eat half a burger and half a fish - best of both worlds, hehe). They're a pretty good size. The buns are soft. I personally like buns crunchier/crusty on the outside and soft on the inside - this is soft all over. My friend likes buns soft, so she likes the burgers here. The burger with the lot is nice (beef burger, cheese, tomato, lettuce, onion, bacon, egg and tomato sauce, if i recall correctly).

The fish burger wasn't that great for me - fairly bland and mushy. Might have been because it only has fish, lettuce and mayo in it - probably would taste nicer with tomato or something with a crunch?

The potato cakes and chips are pretty bad. Especially the chips. They taste like they've been sitting there for hours - but you see them being cooked 'fresh', so obviously not.. Go next door to the chicken shop for chips instead (see my reviews).

The store itself is not too big, so there is not too much room to be seated for a meal in the actual restaurant.. The food is always slightly oily, not drained properly, and the LOT burgers are missing quite a few key ingredients.

Approximate cost: $Varied

For fresh and tasty fish and chips, Showgrounds Fish and Chips hits the spot. The chips are fresh, crispy and have just the right amount of seasoning. The flake is always fresh and the best thing is that they are not stingy with the portion size. For something a little different (and disgustingly unhealthy), try the Mars Bar in batter for dessert. It is surprisingly very very good.
