5 Best Fish and Chips Shops in Sydney (2026)

Fat Fish is an Annandale seafood restaurant and takeaway that specializes in battered fish and chips alongside salads and burgers. It sits near the Tramsheds and has built a loyal weekly-regular crowd over the years, with a menu that stretches from classic fish and chips to grilled options and octopus. Reviewers keep coming back for the potato scallops in particular, which multiple customers single out as some of the best in the city.

Alexandria Seafoods is a fish and chips shop on Mitchell Rd that also serves broader seafood plates, from prawn cutlets to calamari and seafood platters for two. It leans into old-school fish and chips styling, with reviewers describing the fish as flaky and not overly oiled. The shop is run with what several customers describe as a genuinely warm, family feel.

Kirribilli Seafoods is a fish and chips restaurant and seafood market a short walk from the Sydney Harbour Bridge, serving takeaway and dine-in fish, calamari and burgers. It has operated in the area since 1978 and draws both locals and tourists passing through on the way to or from the harbour. The location, right off the water taxi stop, is as much a draw as the food itself.

Redfern Fish & Chips is a Redfern takeaway and delivery shop offering multiple fish species (barramundi, hake, salmon, dory) cooked beer-battered, crumbed or grilled, alongside calamari and burgers. It runs an online ordering system through Yumbo Jumbo and delivers to a wide swath of the inner city. The ability to choose both fish type and cooking style sets it apart from most of the other names on this list.

Old English Fish 'N' Chips in Forestville is a northern beaches chip shop leaning into a British-style menu, with mushy peas and curry sauce alongside the standard battered fish, calamari packs and burgers. It runs a second Naremburn location and has built a name locally as one of the few genuinely English-style chippies in Sydney. Family packs and large group orders are a specialty, with one reviewer ordering for a 20-person birthday.
