Fresh seafood with an unbeatable location! Their fish and chips are crispy and delicious, perfect for enjoying by the beach. Great portion sizes and reasonable prices make it a must-visit in Bondi. read more

Quick and easy. Walked by this place and saw oysters! It was a happening place and there was a short line. Went inside to check out what else they had. Looked and sound delicious, but I was there for one thing and one thing only - OYSTERS! I ordered half a dozen of the milder oysters. Price was decent and I brought 6 oysters outside and slurp them up. Just a dash of lemon and down goes the yumminess. It was definitely mild tasting and very creamy. It was really fresh and wished I had gotten a dozen instead. There fish and chips looks really good and smells fresh as people walked by me with a plate of it. It's right on the main street, so you won't miss it. It's also next to my other favorite restaurant - handmade dumplings and noodles. read more

One of the very first places I tried when I arrived in Sydney. All the fish are fresh and there's a great selection to choose from. They have fresh fish, oysters, crustaceans, and some deep fried goodies. You can order fresh fish to take home and cook or you can order up some goods in the store. It's not really a sit down and eat kind of place so I recommend getting it go and sitting on the beach. I really enjoy the Fish and Chips, the Barramundi is a must try, buttery and delicious. Don't forget to ask for Vinegar and chicken salt for the chips. The salt and pepper calamari are tasty as well. They have pineapple fritters, fish cakes, corn jacks, and other tasty little fried things. For dessert they have some fried banana fritters and fried mars bars, I've yet to try them. The owner is very nice and friendly, I always have a great experience with all the staff. Overall good location, service, and food! Due to it being fresh fish, some of the fish is expensive, but they usually have some specials up on the board. read more

As an Australian have been going to this Shop since 1983 and even now when living outside of Australia since 1991 I still return for the Best Fish & Chips ( and Calamari ) in All of Sydney. Always The Best and a Must for any Tourists visiting Sydney and Bondi Beach. read more

Bondi is expensive, let's just get that out there. That being said, Bondi Surf Seafoods was about as reasonable as you can get in a tourist-heavy, beachfront food establishment. From the looks and sounds of our fellow customers as we sat at the tiny rear bar, this is where the local workers stop in to get fast, fresh take-away. It's not really meant for eat-in and there wasn't a way to wash-up properly before digging into our freshly grilled tentacle-beasts. If we'd been at a local hotel and rating this as a take-out experience it would probably get all 5 stars, since the staff was friendly, professional, and fast, and the food was reasonably priced and quite tasty. Despite my internal trouble about having to eat chips and other obvious finger-foods with a fork to try for slightly greater food safety, this was some excellently grilled Octopus. The sweet-savory marinade had a distinctly Asian flare, and the baby tentacle-beasties were tender rather than rubbery so the master of the grill really knew what she was about. The salad greens were super fresh too, and the proprietors make some fine chips to complement their fresh seafood. All-in-all, we would definitely stop by this shop should we again find ourselves in the region of Bondi Beach. If we do, though, we'll order takeaway rather than crowd in at the tiny bar, practically sitting on top of the order line. read more

Ya go to a tourist type beach, expect tourist type food in the area. That's what I've come to learn anyways, so Bondi Surf slotted in pretty easily as that convenience option. Their fish n chips are pretty good; they come out piping hot and are wrapped up for easy to take out. I would've liked to see more chicken salt since there wasn't a lot of seasoning, but the fish was still tasty and their chips are CHUNKY, like near potato wedges kinda size...which I actually liked. On the higher-than-average pricing point, but that's to be expected in and around the area. PROS: - convenient location next to the beach - fish and chips options are well portioned - food comes out piping hot and packaged for takeout CONS: - could have more seasoning / chicken salt read more

For the price , no way ! Shrimp with cake like batter. Huge prices. $3 for ketchup. Really ? No thanks.

Yes it was good, not great, but better than some places I've been to around the world. I would come back here and get some snapper or flake again. read more

They claim best chips and fish in sydney but I beg to differ. It was just ok. It was missing sauce but you have to buy the sauces. I was on a budget and food in sydney wasn't cheap! I didn't want to spend $3 on a sauce. The batter was heavy and nothing special about the fries. read more

If I can, I would rate Bondi Surf Seafoods as 3 1/2 stars. We wanted something quick and easy after visiting Bondi Beach, and came across this seafood restaurant. The place isn't very big, with only seating at the counter. I was in the mood for fish and chips, so we got a couple of orders. It was nicely fried, and tasted good with some vinegar added. The employees who took care of us were friendly as well. It is a nice place to stop for some food if you are spending the day at the beach. read more

It's true. Deep fried Mars bars. Also - banana and pineapple fritters. Yep. But beyond those admittedly incredible heart attack in-a-snack indulgences, Bondi Surf Seafood is an excellent, excellent chippy and fishmonger. It's not fancy, but for a lover of all things seafood, I adore that I can walk in, pick my fish, and have it grilled right there in front of me. Even more so, I love that 10 minutes after walking in, I can be sitting on the beach with a piece of perfectly grilled tuna, Tassie salmon or barramundi and a fresh greek salad, or a pile of freshly prepped sashimi. Add some calamari in there too, what the hell. This is also my stop of choice when picking up fish to prepare at home. The prices are completely reasonable and the quality is fantastic. Can't go wrong with fish that comes in daily from Sydney Fish Markets! read more

First bite of fish and chips in Australia!! Based on the fresh fish and seafood at the window and number of customers that were lined up, I had to try this place. It was also awarded Sydney's Best Seafood, Fish & Chips in 2011. There are many specials to choose from, but I decided to go with their fried daily fish-of-the-day and thick cut fries. Not bad, but pricey at $11.50. The better deal is their 2 fish & 1 chip deal at $21 because they give you plenty of fries in a single order. It was a substantial amount, but lacked flavor. Although there is salt added on top, I should have requested some lemons to give it a kick. Any additional sauce costs extra. The fish (I believe it was barramundi) was extremely fresh, but the fries were a bit thick for me. More like wedges. I also had the chance to try their oysters that my friend ordered. Very fresh, but again not flavorful. If I returned, it would be to pick up some of their fresh seafood offered or possibly try their infamous DEEP FRIED MARS BAR! Was unaware at the time they offered such a treat. haha Whether yummy or not, this restaurant is situated right in front of Bondi Beach, so being able to do take-out and eat sitting on the sand or at the many picnic tables is another pro. read more

I got the grilled salmon. Food it is, but fast it was not. It took 15 minutes to grill. They have faster foods, like stuff that's already fried and waiting on the shelves to be purchased. I wish they clearly separated the fast food from the slow food, and indicated them as such. 5 stars nonetheless, for any place serving deep fried mars bars gets 5 stars from me. There's not much seating area: just a counter with a few seats. That might be fine considering how easy it is to take fish and chips to go. read more

Well damn! I dare to say this is the best calamari I've ever had. Just check out my picture to see how huge the calamari was. Not only that, but the chips underneath were some of the best chips ever! If this wasn't over $10, it would have gotten 6 stars. Australia's expensive, but this was a pretty good meal for the price! read more

Bondi Surf Seafoods - Amazingly huge calamari! - Seafood Near Me - Bondi Beach, NSW

What a great spot for fresh fish, anyway you like it! It's located on the street facing Bondi Beach and we popped in for some fish and chips. We couldn't decide between what kind of fish to have, as they had different specials posted on the board. The guy behind the counter was nice enough and offered to combine two specials so we could try both types of fish. There's also a counter for fresh fish you can buy raw or have them grill or fry! They also put this seasoning (I think they called it chicken salt) on top of the chips. The lunch special with 2 fish and chips was enough for the three of us with plenty of chips leftover. In total, $22 for two kinds of fresh local fish, on the beach, and enough for three of us. The store has a small counter if you choose to eat in, but we had to eat fish and chips on the beach. If you do the same, beware of seagulls! read more

Ordered the salmon with chips while my mother and brother ordered the fish and chips for two special. The inside was a fish market, giving a solid indication that the fish served was going to be fresh. The grilled salmon filet was pretty solid. Cooked to be a little drier than I expected, but salmon is salmon and it was delicious. The original fried fish was so juicy and the batter was so crunchy. Served with lemon and salt, it proved to be one of the best fish n chips I've had in a long time. This was definitely tastier than my salmon filet. Probably cause it was deep fried, though. The chips (fries) were so thick and crispy. Deep fried to perfection, served blazing hot. Had to wait for them to cool down to even start scarfing them down. Also ordered the deep fried Mars bar and oh boy was it delicious. I have a serious sweet tooth so it was amazing, but my brother had a harder time putting it down because of the overwhelming sweetness. I would come here again just for this. Solid fish n chips but the deep fried Mars bar keeps you coming for more. read more

Since I already ate lunch there was only one option left for me.... To try my very first deep fried Mars Bar. At nearly $5 I was hoping for a delicious miracle and that's exactly what I got. A hot, melting, out of this world miracle that was moreish and yet for my healths sake buying another was strictly prohibited. If you're a Simpsons fan like me it certainly passed the grease paper test! I nearly burnt my mouth; had icing sugar spots all over my jeans and my hands were a sticky mess but I didn't care one bit. If you can fault this awesome treat you're not a true Mars Bar or chocolate fan. read more

Bondi Surf Seafood is a traditional style fish'n'chippie in the greatest sense of the word. Serving up those paper wrapped packets that you rip open like a kid with a Christmas present because you're too impatient to unwrap it in a civilised manner. And then you've drowned them in so much vinegar that a massive spurt of steam escapes and burns your fingers when you tear into the packet... don't tell me you don't know what I'm talking about. And don't tell me your mouth isn't watering at the thought right now! They source their seafood daily from the fish market, have been voted "Sydney's Best Seafood" and serve up home made tartare and other sauces. Best of all for Brits or the British-dietarily-inclined, they sell fresh rolls so you can make chip butties, and deep-fried Mars Bars (yeah that's right!) read more

Stopped here for a seafood lunch in the Parade in Bondi. The prices were high but, after all, you're in Bondi. However, the fish and chips special was reasonable, and hubby said they were some of the better ones he's had. Being gluten free, my order was a bit more challenging, but the owners were really good about helping me find options. I had calamari cooked on the grill, along with prawns and the quinoa salad. The only thing lacking was outdoor seating, and lack of comfortable indoor seating. With their location across from a world-famous beach, you would think it would be an obvious choice to have seating with a view. We saw many customers take away, probably so they could enjoy their food outside with the view. read more

This is a bit of an iconic fish 'n' chips store in Bondi, but not for its fish 'n' chips. Although they are awesome. This is a seafood place you need to bring all your friends for it makes a treat so rich, so sweet, so decadent that you'll feel ill and euphoric at the same time. The deep-fried Mars Bar. The name says it all really. Take a Mars Bar and deep fry it until it becomes a treat like no other. Probably worth 2 days in calories, it's something you need to have at least once. Share it with a friend unless you're up for a challenge. Besides that, the food is delicious and fresh and comes in nice big portions at a good price. Perhaps grab your usual fish 'n' chip combo and then live on the edge with the Mars Bar. read more

1 line - DEEP FRIED MARS BARS I couldn't decide whether or not to give it 1 or 5 stars.... This is a Bondi thing you should try once... It's delicious and gross at the same time - yes that's possible. It costs $3.50 and it's pretty much what it says it is.... The reason why I would say you should try its is because 1- it's a mars bar 2 - it's a friend mars bar 3 - when else will you eat something like this? What makes it awesome is that the chocolate melts in your mouth in the most spectacular way. That said, don't expect to get past two bites (and no thats not a dare). **please consult a cardiologist before eating this *** read more

I was rolling around in Bondi when I got a text from my friend- "where are you at?" "Bondi!" "Promise me you will go and try the deep fried mars bar!" She couldn't even tell me the name of the shop... but the power of Internet helped me figure it out in no time. I was surprised by how huge it turned out (Mars Bar is pretty tiny in my memory...) I was hoping for a snack and I got much, much more than what I bargained for... The batter was thick and it was hot... it tastes good but wayyyyyyyyyyy too sweet for me. There is simply no way I could finish it. read more

Incredible seafood. Fish so fresh it should move (but doesn't). We had mixed grill with grilled prawns, octopus, calamari and a salad. Also skewer of salmon and scallops. Oh my! Also grilled baramundi. We couldn't get enough. The salads are so fresh. We had tabouli and Greek salad. Wow wow! All locals. We expected tourists but no. Locals stopping by for takeaway. We ate in The owner was there and very nice. read more

Deep Fried Mars Bar * * * * * Too sweet, you ask? Maybe for some, but I'm a sweet tooth by nature so I beg to differ. It tasted like a very yummy, warm and gooey Greek dessert. Although I devoured it in less than 5 minutes, I have to say it would have gone down even nicer with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. My advice, is that if you're a sweet tooth then don't think too much about whether you would like it or not. Next time you go to Bondi Beach, treat yourself after your serving of fish 'n' chips. You won't be disappointed. read more

The best Fish and Chip shop at Bondi Beach. Fast efficient service with a great choice of fresh fish to choose from. Made to order (grilled or battered options) for any fish of your choice.

This has to be the best fish and chip shop that I have ever been to! Greeted with a smile and a quick rundown of the menu items- you instantly feel welcome! They know their menu back to front - fried, grilled and fresh options all available. The service = FAST!!! As my order was taken it was promptly shouted to the line of cook staff behind the counter. They obviously have the experience because that place ran like a well oiled machine!! We ordered a salt and pepper squid combo, a chicken burger, 2 seafood sticks and 2 seafood scallops and we were in and out with our food in... Wait for it.... Under 5 minutes!!!!! The salt and pepper squid was the best I've had.. Hands down.. It is just so fresh and the batter is seasoned perfectly.. It is exactly how salt and pepper squid should be!! The seafood sticks and scallops were sooooo tender and juicy!! Every bite was an explosion of juiciness! And the chicken burger had a delicious dressing, the crumbed chicken was cooked to perfection and the roll was extremely soft!! Anytime I head to Bondi from this day forth I will be having a meal here!! read more

Didn't buy any fish or eat anything other than the deep fried Mars bar but would still recommend this place by the selection of fresh quality fish. I'm from Hawaii and love seafood. I know good from bad. Here there wasnt that "fishy smell" which is a sure sign of old fish. The shucked plated oysters also looked fresh. If we hadn't just eaten at Icebergs, we would have definitely had several plates! read more

Four words, deep fried mars bar. If you've never tried one, make sure you're arteries are in good nick, you're cholesterol levels are down and your blood sugar levels are low, because their all about to get seriously stuffed up! But its all worth it in the end, this gooey chocolatey treat is like one of the spanish donuts (churros) with the chocolate filling, but on steroids. The dough is bigger and sweeter, the chocolate gluggy and flowing like some molten chocolate volcano and then caramel added just to make sure you get the desired sugar rush you're sure to feel after. If you don't feel like dying today the fish and chips here are always good too, grab it to go and eat it down by the beach, just be prepared to shoo away the sea gulls. read more

Like the other reviewers said - not the absolute best fish and chips, buuuuuuuut... DEEP FRIED MARS BARS! Win. An Aussie friend of mine said it was a must-have. Damn, he was right.

After reading the reviews I figured this is a must try. Wasn't too impressed although I must say the fried fish is pretty good. The garlic prawns were kind of gross. And the octopus and chips was in a sweet chili kind of sauce. Just didn't really go well. I wouldn't come back. read more

Sadly I never got to try the Mars bar that everyone seems to be talking about, however I did get to try the fish & chips. They were one of the best that I've ever had, if not the best. Prices are also very reasonable and definitely some of the best deals that you can find on Bondi Beach. It's mainly a take away restaurant but the service here really impressed me when I was here. They were very friendly and helpful, catering to any special requests like extra salt. Also they have tons of fresh seafood that can be bought there, excellent! read more

I ordered a mixed platter of calamari, prawns, and baby squid off the "healthy menu". The platter was on the expensive side but considering the location and generous portions, the price is warranted.
