About Golden Shark Seafood

Gladesville regulars head straight to Sharkies for fish and chips fried strictly to order in light, crisp batter. Nothing sits under a warming lamp here—fillets of flathead and barramundi hit clean fryer oil alongside hot chips dusted in chicken salt. Thick potato scallops, tender calamari rings, and house-made salads round out the counter haul, which travels best wrapped up for a casual picnic down by the river parks.

  • Cooked strictly to order: Fillets and seafood drop into fresh oil only after you order, skipping warming trays entirely.
  • Holiday seafood counter: Regulars rely on the shop for raw oysters and fresh prawns boxed up for celebrations.
  • Crisp in-house batter: Generous fillets of flathead and barramundi come in a light, crackling crust made in-house.

Why locals choose Golden Shark Seafood

Freshly cooked fish, house-made batter, and reliable holiday catering make Golden Shark a local takeaway staple.

  • Cooked strictly to order

    Every order is prepared hot and freshly fried on demand rather than pre-cooked and stored under warming trays, keeping the batter light and crisp.

    everything only cooked to order so super fresh

  • Handcrafted house-made batter

    Batters are mixed in-house rather than sourced frozen or factory-processed, resulting in a crisp, non-greasy coating that preserves tender seafood.

    The batter is elite level. Super fresh and obviously made in house. No feezer ready seafood dropped in a deep fryer.

  • Nostalgic local comfort

    Generous servings of classic fish and chips evoke nostalgic memories of traditional, straightforward local takeaway.

    Fish is delicious and the chips take me back to my childhood.

  • Generous, satisfying portions

    Generous portions of freshly battered fish and sides provide reassuring satisfaction for hungry diners seeking dependable value.

    Check the portion size! Who gives you that much fish? Fantastic crispy batter.

  • Dependable holiday seafood catering

    Locals rely on convenient holiday pre-orders of chilled prawns and oysters that arrive fresh and on schedule for entertaining.

    I've pre-ordered and bought my Christmas seafood - sometimes bucket loads! - from the Golden Shark (aka Sharkies in our family) for the past 15 years and they've never failed me.

  • Perfect takeaway for riverfront picnics

    Takeaway parcels are readily packed for outdoor waterfront lunches and casual picnics by the local river parks.

    Take it down to one of the parks on the river and you've got a good meal. Bliss!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the food cooked to order, and how long is the wait?

Orders are prepared fresh to order rather than pre-fried, meaning batter stays crisp and light. During peak lunch and dinner rushes or busy periods, expect a short wait while your food is freshly cooked.

How generous are the portion sizes?

Portions are exceptionally generous—regular orders often provide more than enough fish and chips for one person, making packs easily shareable.

Is there parking available nearby?

Yes, there is free street parking available right outside along the street, making order pick-ups easy.

What seafood options and sides are available beyond classic battered fish?

Alongside classic fried fish and chips, Golden Shark offers grilled options like barramundi and snapper, crumbed calamari, potato scallops, onion rings, freshly made salads, and raw seafood orders such as fresh oysters and prawns.
