FRESH fish, deliciously crispy and enjoyed alongside hot chips cooked to perfection is unbeatable. We may be far from the beach, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the perfect combo right here in Shepparton.
On Macintosh Street, south of Shepparton’s CBD there is a fish and chip shop that’s been part of the streetscape for generations.
Entering Macintosh Take Away is like taking a step back in time. According to long-time owner, Charlie Wang, he had a customer who remembered ordering fish and chips from the premises as a child in 1960.
Macintosh Take Away is a family affair, and Jason Zhang has recently taken over from Charlie as the new manager. According to Jason, the shop has such a strong local following, he estimates roughly 90 percent of their weekly customers they know by name.
“Most of the customers know us here at the shop very well,” he said.
“We used to close on Mondays, but people kept wanting to come in. Now we’re open seven days.”
Jason said the fresh flake and the house-made potato cakes endure as the most popular menu items, with quality food in a clean shop his main priorities.
Macintosh Take Away is located at 40 Macintosh Street, Shepparton, and can be contacted on 5822 1055.
