About
Fish Out of Water Hyde Park is one of the most talked-about fish and chip shops in Adelaide, holding a solid four-plus-star reputation across nearly 730 reviews. Women-owned and proudly operating in Hyde Park, this South Australian venue has taken out the award for Best Fish & Chips in SA, a nod to the consistent quality that keeps regulars coming back week after week.
The menu runs well beyond the standard chippie fare. Barramundi and the fisherman’s basket sit alongside a Philly Cheesesteak, the Sir Tots-A-Lot Burger, and a salad bar that makes the venue genuinely appealing for groups with mixed tastes. The chips have earned particular attention, with fans noting the batter is crispy and full of flavour, and the kitchen is happy to toss in those golden scrappy bits on request. Gluten-free seafood options are available, and the tartare sauce is a frequent talking point, described as tangy and well-made. Portions are generous and the pricing is considered great value for Adelaide.
The space is set up for dine-in with outdoor seating, counter and table service, and a casual atmosphere that suits families, university students, solo diners, and tourists equally well. Live music adds something a little different to the dining experience. Delivery and takeaway are both available, along with kerbside pickup, and the venue is wheelchair accessible and dog-friendly. Alcohol is served, including beer, wine, cocktails, and spirits, making it a relaxed spot for a longer meal rather than just a quick bite.
Phone ahead for larger group orders, as the kitchen moves fast but a heads-up helps during busy periods.

Had an amazing lunch at Fish Out of Water! My partner and I tried the Portuguese chicken burger and the steak sandwich, and both were absolutely delicious. I had a few special requests for my steak sandwich, and the tall guy chef with the eyeglasses was incredibly helpful and accommodating. The food was cooked to perfection, and the flavors were fantastic. The service was friendly and welcoming, making it even more enjoyable. We will definitely be back to try more items from the menu! Highly recommend!
Huge portions of fish and very affordable! We had a group of 18 (teenagers) and they got our food out fast! Highly recommend!
Best takeaway fish and chips in Adelaide. Amazing value and tasty gluten free seafood. Love the fisherman’s basket. Let’s support this business!
The food and service were great. The dishes we ordered came out really quickly, and the tartare sauce was delicious, slightly tangy, and very tasty. The seafood also looked fresh and was really enjoyable. im take away and bring it to gleneg beach
I don’t often get fish and chips and thought I’d spoil myself with some flathead. All went well until I started munching and realised the two thin strips were my $15 fish… Portion size definitely a shock. Chips ok but a bit oily.
Food was terrible had a Tommy Ruff wrap meant to have cheese had hardly any the Greek salad in the wrap had no tomato and the chips terrible if you can’t get chips and wraps right there is an issue
Their chips are hands down my favourite in Adelaide. I always ask for scrappy crispy bits and they are the only place that delivers! Sooo crunchy and delicous flavour. They have an amazing range of seafood, salads and desserts too. The lightly crumbled calamari legs are my faves.

Fish Out of Water Hyde Park is absolutely fantastic. The food is fresh, generous, and packed with flavour. The Vicious Burger is a standout — bold, juicy, and perfectly balanced, easily one of the best burgers around.
The fisherman’s basket is equally impressive, with beautifully fresh fish and seafood cooked just right: crispy on the outside and tender inside. Everything tastes high quality and well prepared.
Great food, great value, and a place that consistently delivers. Highly recommend if you’re after fresh fish or an unforgettable burger.
