Ocean Foods

Excellent seafood worth shouting for. Make sure you do and stick around to see the boys start cooking right away. Without writing things down and a bit distracted by the better looking customers you’ll be lucky if they remember all of it. They can only collect cash for what they hand over in the end so you’ll only have to pay for what eventually ends up in the bag. Grab your own cutlery they wont offer. Well worth the gamble once you taste it though!

Went here the other day as we just moved into the area. The fish was really nice and on that particular day it was the «Tight Ass Monday» so very reasonably priced too. Will definitely have a look in the gelato shop that’s connected next time too!

I only come here to get one thing — The original baked fish. It is perfectly seasoned and cooked, and just clean and simple.
I don’t live anywhere near this place and I always find myself here.

Grabbed a light lunch (that’s hard when most food is deep fried) but we just limited the amount of food as the serves are huge here. We had prawn cutlets which were in a light batter and looked and tasted like inhouse made plus we had salt & pepper calamari which wasn’t the best we’ve had and they didn’t come with any dipping sauce which was a let down.

Whilst in Australia I had every intention of trying out the local cuisine, but once I had «the best fish and chips in the universe» I couldn’t help but go back. I know I ate at other restaurants but they just don’t come to mind after our experiences at Ocean foods. Incredibly fresh fish, fried to perfection, octopus and calamari salad seasoned just right and crispy but fluffy chips keeps me dreaming of the day I go back to Drummoyne. I’ll visit under the ruse of missing my mother in law but my husband will know, it’s for the fish.

«The Best Fish and Chips in The universe» Is the slogan of some 29 years in the world of Fish and Chips in Drummoyne, and a slogan which beat out rival contender «Bluebells» further down Lyons Road some 15 years ago. Both were great, Ocean Foods had the edge though, and frankly still does, and has managed over some 30 years to remain relevant amid changes in dining habits of Sydneysiders, from the embarrassed days of meat and three veg (yeah it was only 30 years ago people!) through the days of Thai restaurant ubiquity in the 1990’s and into today where glass, sleek lines and quality prevail. George and family pride themselves on being paragons within the community — and they are, with staff formerly coming from disadvantaged backgrounds. I’m absolutely unsure if that is still the case, but nonetheless George has done a mighty job in keeping Ocean Foods at the top of its game for so long (look above the fridges to see the awards)
But I’m at a loss, and I want to mark this place both high — and a little lower than the 3 stars i’ve given it. why? because of the bloody-​minded service that some girl gave us in the attached gelato bar where I had to ask her three (count them THREE) times for the wine we had ordered with our fish and chips next door. Low scores also for the service of late from the main fish area which hasn’t been quite up there, even though churlishness was a virtue when they first opened (and I was a kid)
I want to mark high for the sheer quality of the food and the sheer tour-​de-​force that this place represents, so unfortunately… middle of the road scores here.
In Sydney, look no further than Ocean Foods for seafood, I can’t recommend it more highly, and that they shop at the fish markets daily, and can fill any requested seafood easily and promptly also scores them high in my book
Am I lucky to live in Drummoyne? Yep. Cause the best fish and chips in the universe is right round the corner.

The food prices are rather expensive and the food is good, great, but not stupendous. I usually get the grilled fish of the day and I am rarely disappointed with it.
The real charm of Ocean Foods lies in the adjoining café, where coffee and ice cream are served until close at 9pm. Perfect for a late night cuppa!
Additionally, the café staff are not run off their feet and so are a pleasure to chat with as they work their coffee machine magic.
