Substrate‐independent underwater superoleophobic surfaces are designed by combining two bio‐inspirations: the remarkable oil‐repellence of fish skin and the versatile anchoring ability of mussel‐adhesive proteins. A mussel‐inspired polymer is synthesized, showing strong underwater adhesion to various substrates. A fish‐skin inspired top layer is then assembled on this polymer coating through a layer‐by‐layer process.
