Fins & Co. Fish And Chippery

Sometimes the planets align and you discover a good place by accident. This fish and chip shop, which is on Melville near Albion, will have had some new customers tonight - me included - because the competition was either closed for its seasonal break, or there was no parking near the two F&C shops a few blocks south on Melville Road (courtesy an event at Estonian House). Menu - They offer all the usual fish, chips, burgers and other items. Some imagination has been gone into the naming of menu items, giving it a local feel. Pricing is okay. Nice burger. About 1/4 smaller than the ones at the other shops and around the same price for the same kind of burger. Good quality, tasty, fresh fillings and because the burger was a little smaller, it was not messy to eat by comparison to some of the local competitors. This is a plus; you could probably eat this burger walking / in the car and not get it everywhere. Service - it was busy and service was polite. Patrons - looked like a mix of delivery drivers and other customers. Parking - out the front. (Tram and bus stops also close by.) Seating/tables - some on the footpath. A few seats to use when waiting are also available inside. It is a very small space inside - both for patrons and the team. It's not designed for eating in, which is fine. Accessibility - there is a step and the door frame is solid enough to be gripped for balance. Unlikely to be wheelchair accessible unless there is a ramp hidden away somewhere. Payment - It takes cash and advertises that it prefers it. 1.99% cc surcharge on a Visa.

The Mighty Melville burger and the Albion do not disappoint! Lovely staff & value for money. I have one last opportunity before leaving to go home, and I will take it.

Best fish and chips in town. Grass fed beef Burgers are must!
