1919 - 1945
Premises constructed as a 'commercial facility' to serve the burgeoning maritime residential suburb of Millers Point. Already well established during the nineteenth century Millers Point, the dormitory contemporary of The Rocks, was largely a project development financed by the profitable shipping companies labour to service the ever growing trade activity of the new nation - some 60% of which was transacted through the Port Jackson (Sydney) wharf facilities.

1950 - 1975
The 'local' premises continued to service the community as a typical take-away established of the era - speciality 'Aussie Hamburgers'.

1967 - 1987
Seafood came to 29 Kent Street and Fish 'n' Chips were added to the menu. The temptation was too much....business people from 'Sydney' soon joined the locals to enjoy the 'best, freshest seafood in town!' Seating was added to provide eat-in as well as take-away.

1988 - 1996
During this period the nautical theme was accentuated and the dining facility was expanded to include the upstairs function rooms. While maintaining the traditional deep fry facilities for succulent Whiting or Flathead in beer batter, the specialisation moved to healthy Aussie BBQ and grill methods of preparation for the extensive range of deep sea, estuary, river and tropical seafood which abounds in Australian waters.

1997
Saw a complete refurbishment of premises from floor to roof; relocation and re-equipping of kitchen; installation of health and safety items to enable licensing of the premises by the Liquor Administration Board; and a complete interior design refit under the supervision of Heritage Architects and Designers to ensure a faithful reproduction and representation of the construction styles and colours of the early twentieth century. Fish at the Rocks reopened in its new format in August 1997.

1998......
The formula and mission of fish at the Rocks remains constant - to offer the finest, freshest Australian seafood prepared carefully and consistently while providing value for money dining in a quaint atmosphere with pleasant and efficient service.
