Went here based on the reviews. Spot on and was not disappointed. Tried the family box and the fresh fish grilled. All tasted fresh and the portion sizes were good. I liked the casual environment and the attentive staff. Not a fan of fish and chips but these guys do a good job. read more

I went freshwater Beach was raining god dang hard!!! So you know what?? I just go eat good food around and I found this place on the yelp has good reviews so I drove 11mins from the fresh water beach and I came here! Me and my mom ordered tempura style prawns salad-first bite and I told my mom OMG! This is best seafood salads I never had .. the prawn are so big and so fresh! Second bite and I said wow!!! not that much crispy as tempura but it's just ok crispy! But the prawn are so tender and has so much flavor into this prawn especially when you eat this prawn and the salad on the bottom of the prawn??? The salad has lightly seasoned I'm not sure what kind exactly? But I can tell it's kind of Asian (shoyu.. and some sweet stuff in the salad dressing) it's so yum!!! I don't care what they are just sooo yum!! Must order this salad!!!! Tempura calamari-same batter as prawn it's not crispy crispy like tempura but I love this batter better than crispy tempura it's so yum and the calamari is perfectly cook and so soft and not chewy at all!! Good!! Delicious they seasoned with s&p? So they called this s&p calamari? It's just so delicious! Fish&chips-it came with fries and so fresh and so hot and so juicy and so good!!! Delicious!!!!! It's good good good and delicious!!!!! Really ! I'm so sad that I'm not living here but definitely I will come back when I get back to here !! read more

I had the standard Hoki Filet, battered with chips and tartare sauce so I could compare like-for-like versus other places I've been. Fish was super fresh, prepared perfectly with a light tempura batter. Chips looked like what us Americans would call wedges, yet were somehow crisp and tender at the same time. Also a garnish of sweet potato chips on top. Delicious. I accompanied the fish with a 4 Pines Pale Ale (local Manly Beach microbrew). Also outstanding. And since I did the Yelp checkin it was free! Would definitely buy it the next time. Highly recommended. Would recommend it to any Sydney traveler! read more

Fishmongers Manly - Hoki Filet with Chips and tartare - Seafood Near Me - Manly, NSW

Looked up Yelp to see what's around Manly and thanks to other Yelpers' reviews as well as photos I was eyed to Mongers box. Coming to Sydney, I've got to try good fish and chips and this place definitely offered excellent ones thus far. For a price of $22, you get a good portion of calamari rings, 2 slices of battered or grilled fish, sweet potato chips and hand cut chips aka fries (thick slices) with tartar sauce and a piece of lemon. The servers were friendly. Greeted me when I came in and out. Besides that, if you checked in though yelp, free wine/beer/soft drinks. Decided to go for apple cider - crisp yet more soda-ish drink. The battered fish was crispy and it was a good mix with the tartar sauce provided on the side. Among the items inside this dish, I love the sweet potato chips and the calamari rings. The servers also provided salt and peppers on the side and with an extra $1 you could buy different range of condiments like wasabi mayo. Do look at the tips section on how to get there as I had to ask a few people before finding this place. Definitely a good place to enjoy fish and chips here :) read more

.5!!!!! Cuz I don't know how to give the half ~ A little tucked away in Manly on Wentworth @ Rialto Square is Fishmonger ~ RUN don't walk to get here. Not a BIG place however don't let this out you off. "BIG DISHES of delicious fishes" come from the Fishmonger. And YES! Fishmonger can use this phrase~ Choose your main course, like prawns then you have choice of how you want it prepared & the sides. I chose grilled prawns w/chips. Beautifully presented in a square bowl, lovely colors with the prawns, thinly sliced sweet potato ribbons & a slice of lemon. Also a said for the table not overly dressed just fresh greens various types, red onions, bean sprouts and the nice topper fresh sliced ginger~ Our server, James was helpful, made recommendations based on our number of guests WITHOUT being pushy or obnoxious....So just a perfect server for us. They don't take bookings/reservations and the place is small, however in fine weather seating is outside is Gr8, and they do have tall heaters if the weather gets chilly ~ Only Wine & Beer served. We have been in Manly about a month and this is seriously one of the BEST meals we've had here, if not the BEST! read more

Nice service. Pricey. The guy at the counter made all the more expensive selections for us. We had the prawns, salman, barramundi and flathead. Not special but very filling meal. The best things were the sauces, second best, the chips. Good for a first time visit but I've had way, way better for much, much less. The place was quiet; hardly anyone. The other places were packed. Could be because this is in a "back alley" of sorts. read more

Fish was ok and the chips pretty standard. I also ordered the tempura prawns which still had most of the shell on. Not what I was expecting and turned me off to this place. The fish and chips were decent but nothing special. read more

Traveling to Sydney for the first time for a conference, and found my way to Fishmongers. Place was a bit hard to find, but it was well worth the trip. We ordered the family box and the pepper crust Tasmanian salmon. Portions were huge, and food was excellent. I was told that the free beer for checking in on Yelp event ended, but the manager gave me a free beer anyways. Great hospitality! Enjoyed my food, and will definitely be back when I have a chance! read more

Absolutely recommended. Went there because I was craving for some fish & chips and of course because of the good yelp reviews. Chose the Mongers Box first because I couldn't decide plus because I was hungry. It comes with two big pieces of fish, several calamari rings and fresh chips plus some sweet potato crisps. All freshly prepared. Nice and welcoming atmosphere with outside and inside seating. Combine that with a local 4 Pines pale ale from the fridge and it sums up to a very nice dinner. Probably even worth traveling out on the ferry from Sydney just for dinner here. read more

Wow, what a great place!! The previous reviews have it right, the food is outstanding. The crumble crust calamari is the best I've ever tasted. The monger platter was huge and everything was delicious. The chips are a mixture of an American chip, a British chip and roasted potatoes, well done combination. The Hoki fish grilled was also terrific. My wife had the special Barramundi fish with salad and it was all in the same bowl. She lives it. So, you've heard about the food, but the best part is really the people. Great service. It was also obvious from the other patrons, it's a popular local place and the staff know them all. read more

Loved this place. The fish and chips had an amazing flavor. We enjoyed chatting up with the team that worked here. We are from Texas, and have had some amazing food. I actually thought it may have been the best thing I ate in Australia. We also had the Pear Cider, it was awesome! :) read more

Best fish and chips I've had, and completely non-traditional since the fish was grilled rather than fried. One of the specials was barramundi, which I'd never had, so I ordered that along with chips and lime-pepper mayo and was enthralled. The fish was perfect cooked and presented beautifully and it paired very well with the mayo. Definite win. read more

Fishmongers Manly - Grilled Queensland Barramundi with chips - Seafood Near Me - Manly, NSW

Really pretty insanely bad. I can't believe that someone said you can't find better. Honestly, some of worst most tasteless fish and chips on the planet. Soggy sweet potato shavings. Shrimp smelled unfresh. All the batter is soggy and lacking even a bit of salt. Sauces flat and somehow tasteless, other than ketchup. Don't even get near this place! They did give us a free beer from the yelp. The server was nice. But save your tastebuds and calories. Don't do it! read more

Pretty Awesome and they give you a free beer with check in. Any place doing that gets 5 stars in my book! The food was pretty bomb too. Gotta try the fish taco, might be a little pricey but it's sizable -- beware it's a little spicy though. read more

Great lunch here after the Spit Bridge to Manly walk! The salt and pepper calamari was incredible, but really everything was very good. It's also a nice change from the hustle on The Corso. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough outdoor seating when we were there, and the courtyard is a lovely space. One of the diners in our group felt that her chips got a little soggy sitting under the other stuff, and it would have been nice to have them in a separate bowl. I think that might be a matter of taste. read more

Our favorite fish n' chips shop when we lived in Sydney four years ago, it remains a favorite today. Love that you can choose beer battered or grilled fish and that there are several options for type of fish from barramundi to salmon to some rotating specials. The thick cuts chips are tasty and the salad is also a nice compliment if you want something lighter. Definitely worth a detour from the Corso to pick up fish n' chips to takeaway down by the water. read more

Came here after conquering the Manly to Spit Bridge walk and wanted some supper before catching the ferry back to Circular Quay. I ordered the catch of the day (Barramundi) with the salad/corn/pesto- it was absolute fresh deliciousness. Skip the crowded restaurants on the wharf, and walk 5 mins to this neighborhood gem. Super friendly service and great food away from the crowds. read more

Tucked away in a corner, Fishmongers is a gem of a place for dining. We popped in here for a late lunch and left most satisfied. Service is quick and congenial. The fish is incredibly fresh as are all the veggies and chips buried underneath a healthy serving of either fried or pan seared protein. I highly recommend any of the fish dishes on the "specials" list. Nice selection of local beers as well. Presentation is worth noting as both our dishes came out so nicely constructed that I hesitated (for just a few seconds) messing up such a pretty bowl of food. I loved the grilled corn served on top of my dish. It's all too easy to go for one of the easily visible restaurant options along the streets, but if you want something really fresh and vibrant (and if you want super nice service), make your way over to Fishmongers. read more

Easily a best eatery around. It was a bit hard to find in the square. Just look for storefront next to Mr. and Mrs. White and you are there. My wife and I ordered the jumbo prawn salad and the grilled fish and chips. Both were generously portioned and tasted fabulous! The business is an order at the counter and food brought to your table eatery. Great setup! They have some limited inside seating but if you can, I would eat outside under the large umbrellas with outdoor heaters running if you need them. Given how it's sort of well hidden, its location is fairly well shielded from the beach winds. p.s. The staff cannot be complimented enough as to how friendly and helpful they are. Very thoughtful and considerate. Charming folks to their inner bones. read more

this place was a great find. I love the free beer or glass of wine after checking in. I also appreciate the outdoor area along with the propane heaters alongside each table outside. it made it enjoyable to eat outside even though it was a little chilly. the food was just incredible. the calamari was perfectly cooked and fish tacos were amazing. the food came out incredibly quick. friendly staff. overall good experience. great place for a quick bite to eat. read more

Great, delicious, very fresh grilled local fish. Also has traditional crispy fish and chips from local fish. When we were there the fish n chips were made with fresh Flathead. We had the grilled barramundi with roasted potatoes, and a grilled Tasmanian salmon with fresh ginger and oregano, served with a green salad and roasted corn. Both were perfectly cooked with great seasoning and grilled flavor, toasty brown on the tops and luscious and tender underneath. Mongers has a simple outside dining area with gas heaters and a few tables inside. It is A bit hard to find as it is set back off Wentworth Street about 25 meters in a courtyard, adjacent to Fusion Point restaurant, Tribe hair salon, Lumberjack trading, "THE Independent" boutique and Rialto Square Medical. The sign has a fish logo and the word "mongers" in subtle script. read more
