We went here for lunch with the kids after seeing the prices across the road at the Board walk Cafe. The reviews were decent and well we were not disappointed at all.
A calamari pack for two, the fish pack for two was amazing, got a couple scollops to try also and they were next level. Service was great and the only thing that was a bit of a let down was the state of the tables at the front. We ate there cos the kids were hungry but next time I'll go across on the grass near the lake.
The food was so good fresh that we went back that night for takeaway to treat our grandparents we were visiting.
Whilst still tasty, fresh was definitely best as fish and chips doesn't travel well. Quality dropped due to the drive but as I said was still decent.
Keep it up guys you are doing a great job.

Second time our family has eaten here. Stopped in for a mid week lunch during school holidays. Service was quick and our order was spot on what we ordered. I think the prices are reasonable for high quality, obviously fresh seafood. We ordered a Seafood Pack for 2 and a Fish pack and a few extras. I was impressed that the raw fish is taken from the display cabinet and battered just before frying, although this does give a thinner batter than a double dipped fillet which has been slightly precooked with batter then dipped again for a thicker crunchier crust, which I prefer. Love a good crispy batter! Rest of my family prefers the single Dip like here. My fish was great, chips crispy, but I think slightly undercooked. Fried dummy and potatoes cakes were unfortunately ho-hum and not the best I've had, especially the dim sim which was dry and cheery. "Small serve" of chips were very generous, we couldn't finish them.
There are tables and shade available to sit next to the off street carpark, but we elected to go across the road and enjoy our fresh meal at a picnic bench with lovely views of Lake Weeroona.
I have to say I was disappointed that the shop didn't have Pickled Onions!!
...and when I asked if they'd run out I was told by the friendly girl behind the counter, that they: "Don't have them, ever, Our menu is different to other Fish and Chip shops.".

Sorry guys, you're not different, although you are high quality, your wares and items you sell are pretty much identical to any other Chippery in Australia, and not stocking pickled onions is a bad move!

I am a visitor to Bendigo, but it didn't take long to discover just how popular this place is for locals. Shortly after we arrived, the place filled up with customers and was busier than I have seen any fish and chip shop on a Tuesday evening.
Confirmation this shop is the place to go for fish and chips.

Found the best fish and chip shop in Bendigo. A secret place near the lake that serves the best burgers. I honestly struggle with the food quality and value in Bendigo.. eg. Eggs Benedict served with pork belly? Nope ..not for me. Lattes that are more cappuccino,2 inches of foam is not a latte.and food quality that is iffy...
NOT AT MICKS ... beautiful burgers,friendly staff and a place to sit in the sun and eat ... perfect.
