Fish Shop up and grilling at Bondi Beach

It missed its planned December debut, but Bondi's new Fish Shop is up and grilling in its location near the Beach Road Hotel.

A spin-off venture from the team behind Japanese-inspired salad pioneer Fishbowl, they chose the same beachside suburb where Fishbowl began its journey.

The brief was to create a "fine-casual" dining experience, with a "bliss point" between restaurant and bar, and a good old-fashioned fish shop.

Head chef Joel Bennetts (Pier, Bistrode CBD) is getting some promising early notices, touting sustainable and difficult-to-access seafood on a menu inspired by the Mediterranean and coastal Middle East. Yum.

Open daily noon-10pm.
