About Tommy Ruff Fish Bar (Windsor)

Tommy Ruff Fish Bar flips the script on the standard Melbourne chippy with punchy global spice profiles and massive multi-tiered seafood spreads. Windsor diners head in for classic fish and chips alongside unexpected staples—aromatic Nonya-style curry fish, Thai satay fillets, and stuffed squid grilled tender with a gentle chew. Three distinct zones set the scene, ranging from the boat-themed dining room to a tucked-away rear patio. Groups dig into double-decker Chef's Platters piled high with grilled prawn skewers, calamari rings, mussels, and fish tacos.

  • Global Seafood Twists: Traditional battered fish and chips sit alongside Nonya curry fish, Thai satay preparations, and southern fried coatings.
  • Multi-Tiered Sharing Platters: Expansive chef's selections arrive stacked with crumbed and grilled fish, prawn skewers, mussels, and calamari.
  • Zoned Indoor and Outdoor Dining: Seating spans a boat-styled interior dining room, front sidewalk tables, and an airy courtyard out back.
