“ I live in Penshurst and i have been going to Something Fishy (every week) since the day it opened. The staff are all wonderful people and very friendly and their service is outstanding. The food is excellent and is always fresh and delicious. I highly recommend them to anyone. ”
“ Beautiful delicious fish just hate the long wait on a Friday evening ”
“ Best calamari you can find in Sydney. Fair pricing and run by three generations, you are always welcomed with a smile and a chat. Jeff has gone above and beyond once when he delivered my lunch to my car parked up the road as I was trapped with a sleeping baby and could not go in person. A local family business with a village feel, we can never go past Something Fishy without dropping in when we are in Penshurst. ”
“ Excellent family owned fish and chip shop. Everything is made fresh daily and cooked to order. My favorite is their tempura prawns, beef hamburger and potato scallops. I had to include the photo of me eating the hamburger because I was so hungry and forgot to take a photo of the burger but as you can clearly see I’m loving this burger it was so delicious! ”
“ Great food and the owners and staff are so friendly. My dad Doug used to go here every Friday and they were so kind to him especially as he got older and his dementia worsened. They knew his name, helped him with his order. The owners are lovely ”
“ Freshly cooked delicious to perfection. Greek salad was marinated not just add sauce on top with soft delicious feta cheese. The lady owner was so helpful and friendly also the cook was cheerful and welcoming. Highly recommended ”
“ Have never had bad takeaway from here. The marinated fish is amazing, they grill it perfectly. They even grill marinated calamari to perfection. It is like a little Greek island take away in Penshurst. Always a must visit when I’m in town visiting my Mum who lives in Penshurst. In fact, see you tomorrow! ”
“ Perfect fish and chips! My first chiko roll was amazing! If I'm ever back, I will go again. The meal was SO much better than any other I had in the Sydney area! ”
