Fich At Petersham

What a fantastic restaurant with delicious food! My favorite dish was the fish skewers—definitely a must-try! The fish popcorn was also excellent. Everything tasted incredibly fresh. The staff were friendly and the service was great. I highly recommend this place over the Sydney Fish Market!

Fich at Petersham, which opened in 2018, is the brainchild of two former chefs from Bennelong, Chef Jose Silva (who also owns Sweet Belem and Bibo) and Chef Manny Paraiso. This impressive background alone made it worth a visit, and we were not let down. The seafood is sustainably sourced from Southern Fresh Seafood, and we especially loved the Popcorn Fich. The wine list offers a wide variety of options. The location is conveniently accessible, just a few meters from the train station, with parking available right across the street at the Post Office.

The food here is outstanding, with a genuine appreciation for the fresh fish they offer. The service is superb, and the ambiance is incredibly calming. I’ll definitely be returning!

Fich at Petersham is a restaurant that would not be out of place at the Sydney Fish Markets in Pyrmont except it has better parking, less crowds and you don’t have to actively avoid puddles of murky water to get a seafood fix. Headed by two chefs with Bennelong pedigree, the menu is a great mix of casual fish and chip fare along with some offerings that show off the chefs’ fine dining origins.

Set amongst the Portuguese chicken shops of Petersham, you’ll find this fish and chip shop offering takeaway as well as a refined dine-in restaurant experience. The regular fish and chips I had to go was fabulously fresh. Great food, great service.
