About Blu By Australian Seafood Group

Pick fresh cuts right from the counter and have them grilled or fried to order at this bustling Coburg North staple. Locals bypass standard chippies for thick-cut blue grenadier in tempura-style batter, tender grilled octopus, and garlicky chilli mussels paired with fresh salads or chips. The room is cavernous enough for rowdy family crowds—complete with an indoor aquarium to keep kids occupied—and meals often wrap up with warm, honey-drizzled loukoumades on the house.

  • Market-style custom cooking: Choose catches like barramundi, gummy shark, or flathead straight from the display to be grilled or battered with chips or rice.
  • Family-friendly space: A spacious dine-in hall with an indoor coral aquarium makes feeding large groups and families straightforward.
  • Complimentary loukoumades: Tables frequently receive complimentary house-made Greek doughnuts to finish the meal.

  • Lighter Batter and Superior Cut Quality

    Fish is served in generous, thick-cut portions coated in light tempura-style batter rather than heavy, greasy takeaway frying.

    the batter was more of a tempura than a standard beer batter, and everything was tender and delicious.

Before you head over

Practical tips on ordering, group logistics, and peak timing for your visit

  • Organize Group Orders Before Counter Service

    Coordinate your party's order in advance before heading up to the counter, especially with larger groups, as counter service can feel cumbersome without a planned order.

  • Anticipate Weekend Dinner Queues

    Expect peak rush periods on weekend evenings and prepare for longer preparation times during busy dinner services.

  • Customize Your Catch and Sides

    Take advantage of the custom seafood display by choosing specific cuts and specifying preferred preparations, whether grilled or battered, along with sides like rice or chips.
