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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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!

Molly D.

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.

We were looking for a relaxed, beach-vibe seafood place while waiting for the crowds to die down on our way back to the city by ferry. What a nicely hidden spot, towards the back of a courtyard! Delicious fresh barramundi, and a healthy portion at that. The fish was perfectly seared, leaving light, crispy edges and well-prepared meat. A couple of the sweet potato chips weren't as crispy as the rest, but that's to be expected, and overall, they were well done. The garlic aioli paired well with both the regular and sweet potato chips. The 4 Pines Kolsch selected as a check-in reward complimented the meal quite nicely, and I always love a good taste of local - the brewery is right down the road! No better way to celebrate the end of a great beach day, heading into the last couple days down undah. read more

Stopped in here because of the Yelp reviews and thought they offered a free drink with Yelp check in...not true. The dude at the front said we dont do Yelp ...huh...i said that's funny because thats how i found you! Apparently Yelpers are not needed at this overpriced fried fish joint. Also there is a sign up that says its menu prices include a 10% surcharge...i had to ask...for what? The guy says because we are in a tourist spot. Haha do yourself a favor and try any other tourist spot cause this one is not worth your taste buds abuse. Maybe they could use the extra money to wash the dirty glasses. read more

I'll admit, we came here because of the free beer for checking in. But it wasn't just the beer that was delicious. The calamari was probably the best I've ever had in my life, perfectly meaty, not even remotely rubbery, and the breading was tasty. The hoki filet was also very good. The chips could have been a bit crunchier, but that's just my personal preference. The food also arrived quickly. Did I mention the free beer? They have bottles of 4 Pines, a microbrewery near by.

Food was excellent - oysters that were large and creamy and fish perfectly cooked. It's a pretty simple menu actually, but it works.

It is well away from the typical tourist area in Manly so has a relaxed atmosphere. The sea food was excellent. My son had the grilled scallops then a half a dozen oysters as starters. They were delcious. I had the Kingfish cerviche which melted in the mouth. As a main my son had the Kingfish collars. He got 2 large collars that literally melted in the mouth..I had the catch of the day. Both were cooked to perfection.

Great price for the amount of seafood. We got the family pack and it was tremendous - calamari, fries, fish, oysters and shrimp. The atmosphere was very fun and friendly as well. Family friendly as our children danced to the music of frozen, moana and trolls. The servers were exceptional - great energy, smiles and service! Highly recommended. read more

We love our weekly fish fix from Fishmongers, the creative marinades and ever changing specials make this place the best value and one of the healthiest eateries in Manly. Only sustainable local seafood is used across the menu(we've almost tried it all!) washed down with local 4 pines beer and a beautiful cider or wine for the wife read more

Yelp for the win - once again! We were all craving a great seafood meal so this place came up - we literally had to walk past 20 other places! The barramundi was the best I have ever eaten, and the meal was simple yet tasty beyond belief. Would have licked my plate if my mum wasnt at the table! Everyone loved their food! read more

Great little lunch spot just up from Manly Beach. The fish and chips are definitely elevated; I personally prefer traditional french fries/wedges but loved the tempura style batter on the fish. The free beer upon Yelp check-in was a great upgrade. read more
