Flying Fish, the signature seafood restaurant at Pyrmont’s casino and entertainment complex The Star, is scheduled to close on April 11.
Flying Fish is one of ten dining spaces owned by Greek Australian couple Con and Kerrie Dedes under Dedes Waterfront Group.
Dedes had told The Greek Herald in an earlier interview, “We are blessed within Dedes Waterfront Group to have so many beautiful and varied brands, so one day is definitely never the same – my wife Kerrie and I have wonderful people around us from our HQ to of course our great venues.”
Flying Fish opened first at Jones Bay Wharf in 2004 before relocating in 2018 to The Star. The seafood restaurant earned its first chefs’ hats in the 2005 Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide, with chef Peter Kuruvita in the kitchen and Sri Lankan snapper curry on the menu.
“We’ve had eight great years at The Star, there were some onerous days during COVID, but it’s time to fly again,” Dedes said.
The closure of the restuarant’s location in The Star may not be the end of the Flying Fish. “We’re looking at sites in the Sydney CBD to relocate,” Dedes said.
The fast-serve retail outlet Flying Fish & Chips, also owned by Con and Kerrie, will continue to operate in The Star’s cafe court. “We’ve had a good relationship with The Star and look forward to that continuing,” Dedes said.
