1/2 Family Box (Serves Two) 2 Fish, 2 Prawns, 4 Calamari, 2 Oysters, Hand Cut Chips, 2 Potato Cakes
Robert C.

Small shop near Manley Beach features Hoki, Calamari, Prawns & Octopus prepared grilled or battered. Delicious.

Fish Taco

This is the best place in Manly....period. Calamari....best I have ever had. Today I had their fish taco....Amazing. Coming from northern California coast line area where we have excellent fresh fish tacos and fish and chips.....this is right up there....if not better.

Fishmongers Manly 7/2018

After an afternoon by the beach at Manly, we figured we ought to grab a bite before taking the ferry back. We were interested in some seafood, so we headed off to Fishmongers Manly. At about 4:30pm, we were the only party there. With a scattering of tables inside and a counter to order at, their patio held the majority of their seats, which were sufficiently covered with umbrellas and warmed with heaters. We placed our order at the counter, and bowl after bowl of food was delivered to our table. We had opted to go family style and to share: Family Box (Serves 4) $75 3 fish, 4 prawns, 8 calamari, 4 oysters, large chips, 2 potato cakes, tartare sauce, sweet chili sauce & lemon Tempura Vegies $15 a selection of fresh vegetables with soy dipping sauce Their final bowl of Seafood Chowder $15 It was $5 to upgrade each piece of fish from their default NZ Hoki to either the Queensland Barramundi or the Tasmanian Salmon from the specials board. We decided to have some fried, and some grilled, as we also did the shrimp. Speaking of which, they also allowed us to trade in our oysters for two additional shrimp. It turned out to be too much food for our party of 5, and not just because it was an early meal. We had way too many fries, and had ODed on the fried stuff. Yes, we should have just gotten all the shrimp grilled rather than going half and half - it also would have made the shell-on creatures easier to eat! There was a seasoning in the soup that we didn't particularly like, but on the whole, we quite enjoyed our meal. The bathroom though was oddly across the way. It was a public toilet, me thinks.

A free beer or wine with Yelp App Check in is just sweet +1 star. You can pick any beers from the fridge. You can also opt for any non alcoholic beverages too. Fishmongers Manly is a short walk from the Manly Wharf. We ended up coming here on a Sunday evening after a nice ferry ride from Circular Quarry. Fish and Seafood. Grilled or deep fried. The seafood was fresh and tasty. A little pricey at around $20 but still good pricing after you factor into the Yelp check in offers. The interior of the restaurant though smallish, I do suggest enjoying your meal at the heated on the heated patio.

Barramundi and chips with a delicious spicy dipping sauce. Yummy!
Katrina L.

We really enjoyed our meal here! We had the Mongers box with barramundi and the best calamari we've ever had! Chips were perfect! Thick cut with delicious dipping sauce. Perfect location with proximity to the ferry and to the beach. Service was very friendly and we had delicious local brews.

Monger's box
Mel T.

Fishmongers Manly is probably about a 5 minute walk from the beach. It's a little off to the side from all of the souvenir shops and tourist traps, so it's quieter - which is nice. It can be easy to miss, especially since the storefront only says, "Mongers."There are a few tables inside, and some outside as well. Since I wasn't too hungry that day, a friend and I decided to share the mongers box ($20). It has a hoki filet, 6 calamari rings, and chips (or if you're American, then fries). You have the option to get the fish fried or grilled. We ordered it fried but I wish we hadn't. It was greasy and soggy. The calamari rings tasted like frozen ones. But the actual fish was pretty good. So it would probably be better if you ordered it grilled. Tip - check in on Yelp for a free beer or wine!

Flathead with salad and grilled corn

This is a great, slightly off the road restaurant for those looking for a lunch near Manly beach. We went here, and got the Octopus with rice, Barramundi, and the Flathead. The octopus was made with a sweet soy/sesame sauce that was not overpowering, and was very tasty. As for the barramundi, we had this as a classic fried fish n Chips, and it did not disappoint. The batter was light and flaky, and the chips were not too oil. And it came with a very nice spicy mayo that complemented the flavor profile

Chips and fish here
Mike G.

I dined here on November 13, 2013. The food was sensational. The presentation was stellar, and it tasted amazing. As a point of reference, I had fish and chips at an "upscale" restaurant in Sydney for lunch that day. I then ate here for dinner. The fish and chips at this restaurant (Fishmongers) was so much better! As other posters also mentioned, free beer if you check-in via yelp. The owner came out and chatted with us -- he seemed to know a lot on a first name basis already -- and I think he spoke to us for around 45-60 minutes. Very nice guy.

Fish tacos, definitely get a beer with it and don't second guess adding chips and a sauce to your order. So delicious!
Jossie C.

This place came up first on yelp for Manly and I was not disappointed to say the least! The staff was amazing and super encouraging to help me pick the correct thing to order, as I am not from the area. The fish tacos were delicious and they were perfectly dressed. I will definitely eat here again if I'm in the area. So tasty! Don't forget a sauce to dip your chips in!

Amazing fish and chips. They take it to a whole other level. And when they say best in the area, including Sydney... It is! Order off their fresh catch menu! A little tricky to find. Turn left just before the fusion restaurant into the courtyard. You'll find it on the back left.

See all

I had the barramundi grilled fish and chips and it made me wish I'd tried them without batter a long time ago.
