"I cannot express how much I want to thank Nicko's fish and chips! We were travelling with family, all tired and no one wanted to cook, to be a coeliac and have so much care taken in your order was incredible. The seperately wrapped gluten free food and labelled with the wrapping too put me at ease, as it's always a gamble when you eat out. It was the first time in years that I've been able to enjoy (good) fish and chips and even a potato cake!!!. Not only the care given to the allergy factor, it was a big order and everything was cooked perfectly, the generous chip servings too were impressive as it gets smaller and smaller where ever you go these days! it all tasted amazing, we had takeout and we got it home and it was still fresh and hot and delicious. I literally want to move to Ocean Grove now because it was just really delightful to have such a great take out experience and option. Thankyou very much guys !"

"Nicko’s Fish & Chips in Ocean Grove is an absolute gem. The food is consistently amazing — fresh, perfectly cooked, generous portions, and exactly what great fish and chips should be. Crispy, flavourful, and always hits the spot. A huge shout-out to Nicko and the whole team, especially during the insanely busy season. The effort, long hours, and dedication they put in does not go unnoticed. Even when it’s flat-out, the service stays friendly, efficient, and welcoming — which says a lot about the people running the place. Nicko is a legend and it really shows in the quality of the food and the vibe of the shop. Ocean Grove is genuinely lucky to have a local like this. Highly recommend — easily one of the best fish and chip shops around."

"We ordered fish and chips as well as potato cakes, dim sims, crab sticks & calamari rings online at Nicko's while on holiday in Ocean Grove. The food was amazing, agree with others about the generous serving of chips. All 10 people were pleased with the food, everything was cooked to perfection. Thank you"

"Absolutely the best fish and chips I've had in forever! They never leave that yuk greasy taste in your mouth because they cook in beef tallow, which is so yum. Also cater to gluten free and all of my annoying intolerances. Definitely my favourite fish and chip shop by far and I can't stop recommending to everyone I know haha especially when I have serious potato cake cravings, delicious!"

"Good fish and chips, good price but the batter on the fish and calamari is a bit thick and dry but other than that the chips were really good and cooked well. Service and workers are super nice and efficient with making the food and getting your order to you, nice indoor seating as well as out. Recommend if you’re in ocean grove"

The staff are also absolutely gorgeous, always going above and beyond and always working so hard to produce the best quality even when they are super busy and overwhelmed with orders! Love Nicko’s, it will always be our fish and Chip Shop!"

"Picked up our lunch from here today and then drove to Point Lonsdale to sit looking over the Coast while we ate. Service was great and the food was all very yummy. So yummy that the seagulls did not get a single chip. Thank you I am sure we will come back."
