Karingal Fish and Chip operates as a straightforward, fast food spot right on Ashleigh Avenue in Frankston, offering a familiar yet dependable take on fish and chips paired with recently expanded options including burgers. This local joint is a reliable stop for anyone after a generous, no-fuss meal without the wait of full-service dining.

The atmosphere here is practical and casual, designed more for quick meals or takeaways rather than lingering. Inside seating is available but limited, reinforcing its role as a convenient pit stop for families, workers, or anyone in need of a solid plate of fish and chips. The parking right out front makes grabbing food easy, whether you pop in at a quiet mid-afternoon or during busier dinner hours.

Portion sizes stand out as a clear positive—customers note the servings are hearty and satisfying, especially the chips which come in a decent amount rather than a sparse side. The kitchen turnaround is efficient, and the staff are consistently friendly and approachable, creating a pleasant, low-key vibe that benefits from steady, familiar service.

Karingal Fish and Chip appeals most to locals looking for quick, affordable fast food without compromising on the quality of cooking—fresh oil and recent upgrades to the menu suggest attention to keeping standards up. The addition of a burger menu broadens options beyond classic fish and chips, making it a versatile choice for mixed groups.

For best results, visiting during quieter periods allows for a relaxed experience and freshly prepared food, though the team manages well through peak times with an option to order ahead by phone to speed things along. Overall, this spot meets the needs of anyone wanting straightforward, sizeable portions in a neighborhood-friendly setting.

Food is good and staff are friendly. Also the minimum chips isn’t just a pathetic handful and actually a good amount of chips which is nice

Super lovely staff running a very nice fish and chip joint in Karingal. Dropped in for a quick bite during the quiet afternoon period. The food was excellent, especially when freshly made and right out of the fryer.

We had 4 hamburgers with the lot, 1 flake 3 potato cakes, and medium chips and it only cost $60. The portions were large and the chips weren't overly greasy. The service was helpful and fast.
