Positive Enjoyed the beer battered fish and chips very much. $17 The calamari rings are made in-house, so they are very tasty. $11 The chips are perfectly crisp with fluffy potato inside. You can eat inside in comfort or outside on footpath although with a Carrs park at the end of the street you are spoilt for choice. Negative This is all great, but you know how you order a few calamari, and they chuck in a few extra to be generous and leave a good impression. This would not happen here we got exactly six. Everything felt extremely measured and weighed. My pet hate is stinginess with chips. They are cheap and fill you up, so why not be generous with them to satisfy customer? It felt like someone counted out fifteen chips. I do not think fish and chips would satisfy hunger. We only got by because we bought calamari rings as well at $2 each!!! This is good quality food but boutique servings which comes with boutique price.

(3.5 stars) How are you travelling on the pathway to freedom? I’ve got my first restaurant booking this Thursday night and am very excited. If you’re looking for something that feels lower risk, this is a park-based dining idea from The Fishbox & Co. Located just up the road from Carss Park (which nets off a bit of Kogarah Bay for a harbour swimming area) it’s an easy stop for a takeaway feed. The classic fish & chips box ($15) gives you three long, crisply beer battered New Zealand hake fillets. They’re served on hand-cut chips with tangy tartare. Potato scallops ($1.10/each) are competent without being exceptional, ditto large loops of crumbed calamari ($1.90/each). In the slightly-more-upmarket options, the Louisiana-style lobster po’boy ($21) presents the classy crustacean on a soft bun with coleslaw, chipotle mayo. and some blobs of slightly wacky chimichurri. The spacious green park surrounds are a good, safe eating environment for those keen to gently ease their way back in.

I mean from the look of the plates you can tell that we were satisfied. They have a wall of awards and honestly they deserve every single one of them. Took 3 forms of transportation to get here and did not leave disappointed. The fish was fresh and the batter to fish consistency is just perfection. One of the very few places that offer proper fish & chips with a side of mushy peas which tasted terrific as well complimented with some vinegar and tartare sauce. Fish burger as well its pretty hard to find a good quality fish burger and this exceeded my expectations. Cannot fault anything at this establishment and I hope for their future success in opening more branches within reach to where I reside.

We've ordered takeaway to take down to the bay and on both occasions we've been happy with our meals. Most meals are made to order so depending how busy it is, you may have to wait. Staff seems friendly and courteous, if you're after a healthier alternative (non fried) they offer a selection of salads, poke bowls, cold prawns and oysters. My favourite is the Salmon Poke Bowl, serving size and dressing is just right. My kids have tried the kids meal and we like that it's not traditional chicken nuggets and fish fingers, it's actually battered pieces of chicken and fish. They also like the cheeseburger and sweet potato chips. Happy to come back and try other items on the menu 😊

This is the second time I visit this place. Appearance is extremely good and very clean. Cashier, in both occasions two very attentive, very polite and courteous ladies were faultless in servicing me. As to the food, I only have to say the best things about it. Good portions, very fresh quality, and above all, very tasty. Price wise, a bit to the dear, but it justifies the quality and service rendered. I had the Lobster Po’Boy and 4 Arancini Crab Balls plus small chips. My wife had Grilled Calamari and a small Quinoa Salad. All in all $55. For the users of the NSW Dining Vouchers users, it also accepts them if you still have them. “I WILL BE BAAK” for more, very soon!

Friendly and helpful service. Food was nicely cooked and fresh tasting. I was looking forward to trying the mushy peas, but they were a little disappointing. I think they were just squashed garden peas. Based on my UK heritage, mushy peas should be dried blue peas, soaked and boiled until mushy/soft. It would have been great if they served coffee (I had to go across the road to another cafe to get takeaway coffee. I would have rated 5 stars, but one off for the peas. Apart from that, all good and would recommend as a great place for fish and chips.
