Mohrfish

Dainty little corner fish and chip store on Devonshire Street Surry Hills. I have been here a few times when craving some seafood and the Sydney Fish Market isn’t an option. They make everything to order here and the servings are quite generous.
I’ve had the grilled fish with salad and also the deep fried beer battered seafood and each has been excellent. They do a great avocado salad with your choice of fish as well.
There aren’t many seats here but you can always take out and find a park around Surry Hills to enjoy your meal.

Really cozy fish restaurant. Service was incredible! Food is superb and fresh! My family came for family vacation and found this place at Unilocal.We ordered Oyster, Monk fish, fish & chips, and garlic prawns.
My parents are super big and picky with raw oysters and this place brought them back to their childhood!
All the fishes are extremely fresh and their sauces adds so much!
Definitely stop by, you won’t be disappointed.

We must have been going to this place for over 10 years, but this is the first time I’ve had a chance to to Mohr in about months. While the fish available changes daily, the menu as a whole hasn’t really changed in the last decade– and that’s not a bad thing.
Sooo there’s a menu, but basically what you do is you pick:
1. A Fish
2. A Sauce/​Topping (eg. hollandaise and asparagus or avocado salsa or cajun crust)
3.A Potato (eg. chips or gratin or wedges or gnocchi)
and order that. 90% of the time I get the tuna, with avocado salsa and chips)
There is very limited seating, but the turnover is quick and high. Just give your name or number when you arrive and pop over the Shakespeare Hotel for a drink. They’ll come drag you out or phone you when your table is ready (normally about 1 drink’s wait).
P. S. the tartar is tangingly perfect.
P.P.S the chairs are all stools, so don’t wear a short skirt
P.P.P.S if you like your tuna pink, as for RARE not medium rare.

Really great! Had been wanting to try this place for over a year. Really great food efficient service and surprisingly licensed with BYO option :)
We had the garlic prawns to start and I had the snapper and my dining companion had the barramundi. Everyone was extremely happy! The fish was fresh the accompaniments were awesome in both dishes. The sneaky bowl of chips went down a treat :)
Check out Mohr! But get in quick very limited seating but they do take away.

Fish and chips craving? I’m going to Mohr’s. Sure, Doyle’s is great and everything but this is close to the city and situated right next to the Shakespeare Hotel.
This little establishment caught my eye one day as I was walking down the street. It looked like it was a bit out of place (in a groovy way), like it belonged near the seaside (along the sea shore where Sally was selling some sea shells…).
GREAT fish and chips, dramatic difference in price between take away and eat in. But the food was on point and the service was great! I’ll be back!

Having not been for the past 6 months, have a huge hankering for this fish stop! words to the wise, ditch the diet for the eve, low-​cal is not an option :-) All the fish is fresh, the sauce (s) are amazing, but experience from the last visit, sauce on the side a must.
and the scalloped potatoes are heaven. BYOB, and you’re good to go! happy eatings

Ever been to a Fish Called Paddo or Bondi’s Best Seafood? Mohr Fish is a similar set-​up — choose your market fresh fish of the day, and pair it with one of a selection of scrumptious side dishes for a pretty decent price. This shop, however, is considerable smaller — it only seats some fifteen guests — with a blue tiled exterior, white tiles covering the inside walls and timber bar stools that together recall bygone fish ‘n’ chip shops.
Taking a seat at the central bar, we were immediately offered a basket of crusty white bread with a little dish of butter. I went for a grilled fillet of salmon with roast vegetables and green salad, while my friend had snapper with the biggest pile of mashed potato I’ve ever seen. Our mains were about $ 25 each, which might seem hefty given the bustling, takeaway shop ambience, but the serving sizes were more than enough for one person to finish.

More fish! That’s what I find myself chanting after a batch of one of my favorite meals: fish and chips. At Mohr’s, I found myself wholly satisfied with my fish and chips, despite the portions being a bit smaller at other restaurants. Coated in a light batter, the fish is fried to crispy golden perfect. Even though the fish was tender and juicy, my only complaint was that it was a bit on the salty side and over seasoned. I am not sure if this was a one-​time occurrence, but next time I go I will request that no salt be added to my food.
Of course, there is more to be eaten here than just good olé fish and chips. There are also other items like fried prawns, fish cakes, dumplings, and salads. One of the impressive things about this place is that they usually have a variety of fish available; not just white flakey fish like flathead and snapper, but also trout, salmon, oysters, and octopus. Plus, you can bring your own beer and wine to enjoy.

This place is small, but it’s got one huge reputation. So much so, in fact, that most times you’ll have to wait for a table (which is fine by me when it means sinking a few beers at the Shakey Hotel next door). Alternatively, get them to wrap it up for you and take it on home, they seem to shoot out the takeaway meals at lightning speed. Mohr Fish is low-​key, fast and delicious — and 10,000 times better than your local fish ‘n’ chip shop. The interior is tiny and a bit too brightly lit for any lingering, but you can pop in after work and know you’re guaranteed to have a great mid-​week feed. They do excellent fish and chip combos for pretty good prices, which includes an awesome home-​made tartare. They always have a great range of fish on offer and I’ve enjoyed every meal so far. The fish pie is also excellent and definitely worth a try. It’s not quite beachside, but it’s certainly fresh and it’s goood.

I love fish and chips. To me, the preferred place to enjoy fish and chips is outdoors with the sea in full view. So, trying Mohr was a departure from the norm as this place is more inner city than seaside.
it is well situated though, directly opposite the well known Shakespeare pub on Devonshire road. I have no doubt that a large portion of its business comes from patrons of the shakespeare. What better feed than fish and chips after a couple of pints? i do believe too, that they allow you to bring in your beer or wine while you enjoy your food. A definite bonus.
So, how was it? Well, I ordered the standard basic combo. Good value at around 10 bucks. I was interested in eating in, but was told that it would be more expensive so decided to venture to the nearby park to tuck in. I’d actually been told by 2 non connected people that their fish was very good, so I was looking forward to this.
And it was good. Succulent, tasty and the chips done just the way i like. portion size was on the small side though and I wasn’t completely satisfied, so will definitely order something to go with it next time. after that experience, I’ll certainly be back to eat in and try one of their other seafood dishes.

Mhor Fish was a butcher’s shop in a past life which explains the ceiling to floor white tiles and stainless steel counter, but a bit of history just adds to its character.
Perch yourself at a high table in this charming seafood restaurant with a BYO beer or bottle of white and be prepared to have a hard time choosing what to eat. This place is much more than beer battered fish and chips, which is sort of unexpected given the setting. My tip is the Fish Pie ($ 24) which is topped with mashed potato and served with a side salad — it is delicious.
Mhor is usually packed so if you do have to wait you can pop into the pub across the ally for a drink. Otherwise they do takeaway so you can get it to go.
