Sous Chef

Fish are like us—we all swim together. Strange Fish are bold, curious individuals who fit right in here. Those who are comfortable just being themselves, a little different perhaps. We are looking for a Sous Chef to join our kitchen team.

This role is for a chef who takes pride in their work, enjoys working in a busy kitchen, and cares about quality, teamwork, and consistency. You do not need perfect English. We value clear communication, a positive attitude, and strong kitchen skills.

• Stays calm and focused, even when it is busy
• Works with care, accuracy, and attention to detail
• Is positive, respectful, and supportive to other chefs
• Can adapt to change while keeping high standards
• Enjoys learning and improving your skills
• Likes working as part of a team and thinking “we”, not “me”
• Is interested in food and open to learning about our Danish and Japanese roots.

When you are on shift, you are responsible for the kitchen. This includes:

• Preparing food and ensuring high quality at all times
• Making excellent sushi and kushiyaki sticks
• Keeping the kitchen clean, organised, and safe
• Following food safety and hygiene standards
• Helping to control food costs and reduce waste
• Supporting and guiding other chefs on shift
• Making sure every guest receives a great plate of food, every time
• You will work closely with the Head Chef and be an important part of the leadership team.

You already have

• Experience working in a busy professional kitchen
• Good knife skills and sushi-making experience

• Strong attention to detail and high standards
• Respect for kitchen rules, safety, and cleanliness
• You also bring:
