I opted for the flathead and chips $10 with chicken salt. Nice but not the best fish and chips I've ever had. I felt like the fish was quite over cooked. My partner opted for the crumbed perch again the serve was huge and the fish was nice for $8.80 it was a bargain. I also couldn't say no to the pacific oysters that were massive and only $1.50 each!! They were nice as well but nothing to write home about. All up I would say super cheap and decent fish and chips with generous serving sizes.

The seafood here is top notch quality, the prices are reasonable, and the chips are heavenly!read more

I have tried twice. months apart, I ordered battered fish first. The fish was soggy in the middle…read moresection of the batter like it was sitting in oil that wasn't hot enough to crisp the batter, but the ends were crisp. Second time I tried crumbed thinking it may crisp better but it was the same result, soggy in the middle section of crumbs like it had been sitting in oil, that wasn't hot enough. Now I can't work out how this happens. The oil should be hot enough to crisp the batter or crumbs but obviously is not. The owner needs to look at this.

Please note, this review is a bit strange. But it involves one of the BEST FISH & CHIP shops in…read moreSydney. It is right behind Doyles at Watson's Bay, which is a big call. There is a story behind it though and it goes like this. Oceanmaster used to be a chain and they seemed to all follow a formula when making fish and chips. And it was a truly excellente formula. I used to go the one at Surry Hills shopping centre and even one in Canberra if I happened to be there (!) But both of them are long gone. The only one in existence is in Ashbury, in the middle of suburbia - so its no longer a chain. Prior to me Googling Oceanmaster in my attempts to desperately find my fave fish and chip shop, I had no idea where Ashbury is. I will give you a prize if you knew where it was - let me know lol. Its somewhere between Croydon Park and Hurlstone Park in inner western Sydney. And its also on a relatively quiet road, but standalone. Its literally your local fish and chip corner shop. But it is sooo good!! I used to drive deliberately out of my way to come here but it seems I'm on my own there. If anyone else in Sydney knows what Oceanmaster is and has tried it, please back me up!

As a young boy my father always told me of Tim and how good his fish and chips are, every night…read moretelling me bedtime stories of the unimaginable feeling of eating Tim's food now that I am a grown man of 33 years of age with numerous diseases and gypsy curses of trying fish and chip shops that claim to come close to Tim and his magic in the kitchen. After finally yearning for it for years I was final able to acquire the Timmy goodness and all I can say is that my Dad was right when he said it was "unimaginable" cause I can't imagine anything worse than whatever the fuck Tim does to those fish that can't be anything less than 4 times worse than 9/11 and 8 times worse than those North Korean torture camps. The feeling it gave was the only feeling I've had in years cause my heart medicine destroyed my nervous system and Tim destroy my will to live with how he made me his bitch by making me pay for hate crime of his chips. Any way bets food I ever tasted in my life. Lung disease was worth it. There's fluoride in the chips so the government can control your mind and make you vote Labor. I give 9/11 Stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was pretty busy, but there was a lot of seating in the food court. We went there especially to try Catch 22 and it was even better than we expected. We both had the battered fish and chips, and tried the peri-peri mayo. SO good! The other food displayed looked amazing as well, so we are going back next week to try something else. Ask for your fish and chips in a to-go box. In my opinion, fish and chips always tastes better in newspaper or a box! Would definitely recommend this place.

For nights when you just don't have the energy to pull together a home-made meal, or the thought of some fish and chips makes you drool, or you want a quick freshly made burger to sit and eat at your local park, then Illawong take-away was the place to head to. Unlike your regular take-away shops they have all sorts of fast food available - hot chips, burgers, roast chicken and fish and chips. Their meals are relatively cheap and of course fast.
