About
Fishmongers Byron Bay is a well-regarded fish and chip shop in one of New South Wales’ most visited coastal towns, drawing a loyal crowd of locals and travellers alike. The menu leans heavily on fresh, quality seafood, with regulars pointing to the salt and pepper calamari, grilled barramundi, and marinated squid as standout plates. Nothing here tastes like it came from a freezer, and the handmade chips, closer in size to wedges, are a genuine point of difference from your standard fish and chips shop.
The kitchen covers a solid range of styles. Tempura fish and vegetables arrive with a light, non-greasy coating that holds its crunch, and grilled prawns and fresh oysters round out a menu that goes well beyond the basics. The barramundi served with an almond, macadamia and parmesan crust alongside the house salad has earned plenty of praise from diners who were clearly not expecting something that considered from a seafood joint in Byron Bay.
Dine-in and takeaway are both available, with outdoor seating on offer for those who want to eat in the open air. The venue is fully wheelchair accessible, including the car park, entrance, and seating areas, and it’s a comfortable spot for families and groups. Beer and wine are available on site, and no reservation is needed to walk in. The casual, relaxed atmosphere suits the Byron Bay vibe without feeling touristy or rushed.
Open for lunch and dinner daily. Phone ahead during busy dinner periods if you’re ordering for a group.

The best seafood I’ve had in a long time, everything is fresh, nothing frozen, marinated squid is to die for as well as the fresh oysters n grilled prawns, the chips are home made n the size of wedges.
Love the menu. The food was great – we had barramundi with an almond, macadamia and parmesan crust served with the signature salad which was delicious. We had the handmade chips on the side which were also great. Being able to sit outside in the street gave it a fabulous atmosphere. Would definitely go back. Highly recommend.
Soooooo good… We ordered the tempura fish and veggies. everything was so delicious. And the salt and pepper coating was light and u can’t feel greasy even it was fried food. Strongly recommend!
We went there because we thought this was the same company as the Sydney based Fishmongers. Got take outs to eat at the beach at sunset. Byron Box x2. We requested grilled calamari & grilled fish. The fish was bland & white with no evidence of grilling, but the biggest disappointment was that both boxes contained minuscule quantities of calamari. Each had 2 strips of 3-5cm long…. that’s it. There was more garnish of sweet potato crisps than calamari. We went back after leaving the beach to provide constructive feedback & were told that when substituting grilled for fried calamari, they normally throw in 5 or 6 strips instead of 3 rings. We received x2 strips each, with one only about 3cm long. The staff member seemed confused, then offered to “throw on a few more strips” for us but by that time we’d already finished our meals (which consisted of 90% potato chips) & were heading home. We definitely won’t be going back.
Best fish & chips in Byron hands down! And tastiest seafood I’ve eaten in a long time. Have been coming back for years and it never disappoints. Salt & Pepper Calamari, tempura veges and Grilled Barra are our favs. We enjoyed as takeaway on the beach multiple times during our holiday with the kids who ate every last bite.
we had the sharing box for two, which we picked up for takeaway. it was disappointing. the prawns tasted awful. i suspect they were too old, because prawns normally do not taste so actively terrible. the homemade chips were dense and soggy—i don’t know who thought replacing classic chips with these sad wedges was a good idea. it really is not. the fish was quite nice though, and the customer service was friendly. but certainly this is a place i will avoid going to again.
Lovely staff and the fish was lovely but the rest was very ordinary. We were really disappointed with the chips, more like soft and soggy wedges and the prawns were awful. Sorry guys, we won’t be back.
Ordered takeaway and everything was delicious. Tasty fresh fish, and the calamari and the salt and pepper prawns were great. Loved the house made wedges.
