A spokesperson for the respected chef said the closure of the Fish Butcher coincided with the move to a larger space.
“The move from St Peter’s to a larger restaurant and kitchen has created more space, and all fish butchery will now take place in the kitchen and at Visslagerij Waterloo (which remains open to the public at weekends),” they said. , according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
“The Waterloo site is better suited for this purpose and will continue to supply whole fish butchery to both the larger Saint Peter and Petermen restaurants.
‘Staff from both locations will be absorbed into existing businesses where possible and any outstanding Charcoal Fish vouchers will be forwarded to other locations.’
