The Fishmonger's Son

05/09/2026

Growing up in a Greek household, taramasalata was never something you bought from a shop. Yiayia made it from scratch, and it was nothing like the pale pink stuff you find at the supermarket. The real deal is blushing, creamy, deeply tangy — and absolutely full of flavour from the fish roe.

We make a big batch in store every week, and we've finally shared the recipe on the blog. If you've been meaning to try making it at home, this is the one to start with. You'll be amazed at the difference.

One of the most useful skills you can have in the kitchen — and once you've got it, it takes seconds.

Anthony does this dozens of times a day at the shop, so we've refined the method down to its absolute essentials. A sharp knife, a little confidence, and a fish fillet is skinned cleanly in one smooth motion. We've put the whole technique on the blog step by step.

This is the one.

The dish people ask about most. The one that turns up on Melbourne food lists. The one that made us think — maybe we're actually onto something here when we first opened the doors.

Our fish pie. We worked on this recipe for a long time and we are genuinely proud of it. Rich, deeply flavoured filling, the most beautiful pastry top. If you've had it in store, you already know. If you haven't — come in.

ANTHONY’S B**R BATTERED FISH + POTATO CAKES. Anthony’s dad ran a wholesale seafood business that supplied fish + chip shops across Melbourne. Their flake was second to none. Anthony grew up surrounded by that world — the smell of the fryer, the rhythm of the shop, the simple pleasure of really good battered fish.

This recipe is a nod to that. Classic b**r batter, golden flake, handmade potato cakes on the side.
