About Hunky Dory Fish & Chips South Yarra

Hunky Dory turns the corner fish shop on its head with seasoned grilled fillets, crisp slaw, and wholesome brown rice bowls alongside the usual fried classics. Chapel Street regulars point newcomers toward the seafood counter, where staff walk through the daily catch, textures, and house seasoning blends like the citrusy Latino sauce. Plates land fast—hot grilled snapper, an herb-heavy Greek salad, and wedges of lime.

  • Catch-of-the-day guidance: Counter staff break down the daily seafood species, textures, and flavor profiles before you order.
  • Lighter grain pairings: Swap potato chips for brown rice, herb-packed slaw, and global seasoning profiles like the Latino and African sauces.
