Our Story

Founded Around One Table

Tsukishio started with a chef, a knife roll, and an esky of fish turning up to a friend’s dinner party in Surry Hills. What began as one table has grown into a team of chefs serving weddings, corporate events, and backyard gatherings across Sydney - always with the same focus on seasonal seafood, precision, and hospitality.
