PITT’S PICK
Crumbed fish Sandwich
from Angus
crumbed fish, pickled cucumber, American cheese and tartare sauce on focaccia
I thought the Reuben was good (a solid 10), but this fish sandwich actually topped it. I know I hand out a lot of 10s—but I save an 11 for the ones that really wow me. And this one? This was what my day was about. The other two sandwiches just happened along the way—but this fish sando was the one I had my eyes on from the start.
It’s a newer addition to Angus’s permanent menu and has been getting a bit of hype lately. And honestly, I get it—this might be my favourite fish sandwich in Sydney.
The crumbed fish was spot on—juicy, soft, and fresh. The pickled cucumber brought just the right tang to cut through the richness, and the American cheese added a salty, melty punch.
What really stood out, though, was the tartare sauce—creamy but not too thick, with a lovely citrusy lift and just enough complexity to keep things interesting.
And the bread—most places go with a soft bun for fish sandwiches, which for me ends up feeling a bit too much like a Fillet-O-Fish. That’s why I really enjoyed the springy, soft focaccia here. It gave the whole sandwich a more elevated feel. Total game changer.
