About Fat Fish

Fat Fish turns out golden, clean-fried seafood packs that skip the heavy grease—crisp, satisfying, and unpretentious. Locals head straight for the beer-battered fillets or grilled cod, usually paired with thick-cut chips dusted in chicken salt. An expansive chilled deli counter offsets the fry baskets with crisp tabouli, potato rocket, or chicken and broccoli. Outdoor bench space is limited, so most regulars take brown-paper parcels down to the local park to unpack alongside crunchy handmade potato scallops.

  • Clean-Fried Classics: Beer-battered fish and thick-cut chips fried clean without excess oil, finished with a hit of chicken salt.
  • Diverse Salad Bar: A full cold counter offering selections like tabouli, potato rocket, and chicken and broccoli to round out fried meals.
  • Scallops and Plant-Based Twists: Fresh potato scallops with fluffy centers and light batter, plus plant-based konjac fish options.

Why Choose Fat Fish

Why Annandale locals and Sydney seafood lovers rely on Fat Fish for classic and plant-based fish and chips.

  • Crisp, Non-Greasy Traditional Frying

    Light batter and precise frying ensure fish stays flaky and chips remain thick-cut and crispy without excess oiliness.

    The fish was flaky and fresh, with a light, crunchy batter that wasn’t greasy at all. The chips were thick-cut, crispy on the outside and fluffy inside — exactly how they should be.

  • Plant-Based Seafood Alternatives

    In addition to classic grilled and battered seafood, plant-based diners can order vegan fish made from konjac.

    Tons of Salads to choose from. Vegan fish made of Konjac! Everything fresh & not too oily.

  • Extensive Deli-Style Salad Counter

    An extensive deli-style salad counter allows diners to balance fried seafood with fresh choices like potato rocket or tabouli.

    Plus their salads are awesome... great range to offset the deep fried food.

  • Balanced Seafood & Salad Combos

    Generous combos like the Annandale Special allow guests to pair grilled cod fillets with chips and diverse salads.

    My favorite combo / deal was always "Annandale Special", which came with grilled COD fish fillet, freshly fried chips and your choice of any 1 type of salad including seafood salad without charging extra.

  • Ideal for Parkside Picnics & Takeaway

    Because street parking and on-site tables are limited, orders are packaged reliably for quick parkside dining or home pickup.

    Parking only street parking & 30mins so we went to a local park to eat! Highly recommended

  • Potato Scallops

    Best potato scallops in Sydney, maybe even all of Australia. So fresh and a lovely layer of handmade batter and good soft fluffy potato.

  • Tabouli

    The tabouli is packed with goodness - parsley tomatoes Puis lentils that combines with the fish so well.

Before you head over

Practical advice on timing, seating, and ordering to make the most of your visit.

  • Plan for Takeaway at a Nearby Park

    Street parking along Johnston Street is limited to 30 minutes, and dine-in seating consists of just a few outdoor tables that fill up quickly during peak hours. Plan to grab your order as takeaway and enjoy it at a nearby park.

  • Arrive Before the Dinner Rush

    Dinner queues often stretch out the door and orders can see wait times during evening rushes. Ordering around 5:30 PM allows you to beat the crowd, with standard takeaway tickets turning around in about 5 to 10 minutes.

  • Explore Plant-Based and Fresh Salad Options

    Beyond traditional battered or grilled cod, the menu features vegan fish crafted from konjac alongside a wide salad counter offering tabouli, potato rocket, and chicken broccoli to round out fried packs.
