Paddington hot spot. I really butcher of fish and seafood. Creative concept!

Oyster lovers take note. Oysters are available for takeaway but hopefully their plans for seating will mean a quick dine in option as well. They can pop the shells for takeaway but you'll need to fully open them yourself due to health regulations. Organic Wapengo Sydney Rock Oysters ($4 each) are a good choice. Bermagui Pink Ling, Chips & Yoghurt Tartare Sauce ($20) is a very generous portion of two pieces of well cooked fish with ultra thin and crispy batter and tasty crispy hand cut chips with real flavour. Goes well with the yummy tartare sauce. I'd recommend sharing between two unless you're a big eater. They were still sorting out takeaway cutlery when I visited so have some handy if needed. I probably didn't need the Potato Scallop ($3) but it's always a nice fryday treat if you're sharing your chips. As a special and tempting treat the Hand picked Ballina Spanner Crab ($22, 100g) caught my eye on display. Nice clean pieces of yummy crab meat presented in a clean shell. Would go well with a squeeze of lemon and some cocktail sauce that isn't included. If dining at Saint Peter, Paddington it's usually served with a Coral Sauce. For somewhere close to sit head across the road for some casual seating outside around the church.
Finally got to try the charcoal grilled fish n chips and they were amazing! fish cooked perfectly- that skin, so good! there's a lot of care that went to preparing the fish, it was so clean! I would have liked another piece of lemon and a little bit of seasoning (salt) on the white flesh part of the fish
The chips are so moreish and perfect accompaniment to the fish
Service wise, the cashier was a bit dismissive and seemed in a hurry (though there weren't anyone else waiting behind us at the time) and since it is 'take away' only, would've liked to be offered some cutlery, rather than having to come back to ask for it
Despite that, we would definitely go back just so we can try other items on offer such as the lasagna and fish pie
We recently tried its sister store, Charcoal Fish, and we prefer the OG store
An incredible experience. Both the fish and the chips managed to remain crisp despite a 15 minute bus ride home. The fish was both meaty and substantive but still delicate and tender. It was incredible with the yoghurt tartare sauce.
The chips had a lovely potato flavor and had a great ratio of waxy potato flesh to crisp exterior. Although I did not get a chance to try, the charcoal grilled fish, battered fish and gelato on a stick all caught my eyes Already looking forward to my next visit.
Amazing place with a variety of delicious goods, most all either fish based or fish incorporated to take away.
Their fish pies have the best pie pastry I've ever eaten and all in all delicious. The lasagna is also superb. We did try the ice-cream and while really nice, some of the fishier bites is quite overwhelming. I also personally wasn't the biggest fan of the fish broth, though I do appreciate it. Oohhh the hotsauce is amazing too!!
For some reason my Google review of Saint Peter isn't posting but gave 5/5. The only reason why I give the fish butchery 4 stars was purely as I wasn't personally a fan of all the dishes, but appreciate the love and attention Josh and his team put into all their fish food and ventures.
