About The Bigger Fish Shop

Old-school fish and chips done right in North Ryde, frying crisp battered fillets, golden potato scallops, and thick-cut chips with real crunch. Regulars drop in for retro counter staples you rarely see anymore—think golden battered savs and dim sims—alongside fat calamari rings and classic milk-bar style burgers dusted with plenty of chicken salt. While the fryer works, pass the time stacking bricks from the tub of LEGO sitting by the bench.

  • LEGO waiting station: A tub of LEGO bricks sits in the shop so guests can build while their fresh takeaway cooks.
  • Retro takeaway staples: Menu features milk-bar classics like golden battered savs alongside fried seafood and burgers.
  • Cooked-fresh guarantee: Staff completely remake delayed orders from scratch to keep the meal hot and crisp.
