It's not just a creative name folks, I truly believe this is Bondi's best seafood. And apparently…read moreso does the rest of the world as more often than not, there's a sign on the door at the end of the evening noting that certain fish (sometimes even the entire stock) is sold out. Whether you're grabbing something fresh and practically flopping to take home and prepare yourself, or planning to sit at their outward facing bar (overlooking the glamorous North Bondi bus terminal) and devour some freshly grilled, battered and fried, or sashimi'ed and sushi-rolled fish, you really can't go wrong. The menu is continually changing with whatever's fresh and they do a damn good job of preparing it with as little fuss and flash as possible to let the beautiful flavour of the fish speak for itself. My advice? Try whatever roll they have on special. Check out my photos and you'll understand why.

Restaurant quality meals from the sea, offered up in a casual place. There are lean and light options like grilled salmon and steamed greens, sleek looking sushi dishes, plus the classic salty battered fish and chips. The batter is gorgeously light, like a Japanese tempura. Stylings are casual and breezy, and the view of Bondi beach is bliss. Summer Sundays should be spent right here. BB has it all

On the plus side, this restaurant is right by Bondi Beach and has a great view, especially from the…read morebalcony. And all the food was good. We shared the sashimi appetizer, which was very fresh and tasty. The pieces were not particularly large, so don't expect it to fill you up. My niece had fish and chips, and really enjoyed it. For my main, I had the barramundi and chose the miso butter with it. The barramundi is described on the menu as "200g," which comes to more than 7 ounces. Cooked, it felt like a small portion, particularly because the plate didn't come with much else. Judged by the food and ambiance, I'd give this four stars. What soured the meal for us was our experience at the end with the waiter. My niece had spent the semester abroad in Australia and I was visiting her. She had explained to me that tipping was not a usual thing in Australia. I also learned that from my hotel desk clerk when I asked how I would change some currency for tips (e.g., for the chambermaid etc.). The desk clerk told me outright that people didn't tip in Australia. So when the check came at North Bondi, I was surprised to see options on the credit card machine for 10%, 15%, and 20% gratuity, although there was also an option for no tip. Puzzled, I turned to my niece, who picked "no tip." After that, the waiter questioned us, asking if we had had a problem with the meal or the service (which is entirely what I would have expected from a NY waiter who had been stiffed on a tip, but not what I expected in Australia). Then he practically threw the receipt on the table. Maybe North Bondi Fish gets a lot of American tourists who tip as if they were back home. (And I definitely would have tipped in the U.S. -- service was totally fine.) Under the circumstances, the waiter's attitude at the end was an unpleasant surprise. (And as a result, I ended up tipping 5% at every restaurant in Australia thereafter.)
