Who makes the best fish and chips in Sydney?

fish-and-chips-plate-photoThat delicious battery crunch, that burning oil down the back of your throat, the strangely uniform meat in the dim sims… we love our fish and chips here in Sydney.

So where is Sydney’s best fish and chip shop? Where do you like to eat them after you’ve bought them?

    At the risk of stating the obvious tourist choice, I’m a Doyle’s fan. Gotta be the Watson’s Bay restaurant though.

    I have to agree, i am a Doyles fan aswell.
    But they are a little pricey.
    Bottom of The Harbour, Balmoral, has nice fish & chips aswell, but they can get quite busy, and the wait is fairly tedious.
    I have to say that the best fish & chips in town, has to be Mongers at Bondi Beach or Manly Beach.
    A fantastic fish & chips, ( hand cut chips, i must add ) for $12.50.
    You can’t miss that.
    nothing better than a beautiful fish & chips on a beautiful Sydney beach.

    i’m not a fan of chicken salt.
    i’m more a tartae sauce kind of girl.

    I’m now always on the lookout for a good fish and chips in Sydney. I was never really into fish and chips until I moved to NZ for a few years. Their average fish and chip shops would outdo many of the ‘rated’ fish and chip shops here.

    My criteria: the basic fish and chip package has got to be fresh fish, not frozen, freshly battered, the chips crisp and fluffy and the price reasonable. Chunky, moist, meaty pieces of fish. A crispy, non greasy, light batter. Preferably hand cut fresh potato chips. Haven’t come across a shop that does both for a reasonable price so would love to hear of them.

    So far have found the following that I would return to:
    Fisherman’s Wharf Woy Woy.
    Doyles Takeaways
    Oceans in Drummoyne
