Fantastic atmosphere and excellent service! The staff were very friendly and helpful. I really liked that they offer daily chef specials, and the portion sizes were generous. Prices are competitive, and there’s a great variety of fish dishes, from soups to grilled and fried options. They also serve alcoholic drinks, which makes it a perfect spot to catch up with friends or enjoy a meal with family. Highly recommend!
It was my 1st time eating a gummy shark and I loved it! The texture was a little chewy but it was definitely satisfying.
The staff at the restaurant were so patient and helpful in their recommendation.
Definitely a must try!
The last memory of this place was before they moved a few stores away. We really missed their grilled scallops, which they no longer have.
We decided to try their Chef’s Platter for Three, plus a few sides.
The platter came in a double decker stack! With a bit of mussels soup and a variety of shells, a blue swimmer crab, prawn and scallop skewers at the top and 3 different types of fish cooked differently, clamari, mini burgers and large prawns at the bottom.
We also had onion rings and sweet potato fries as side.
Everything was cooked to perfection and yummy.
The only exception was the crab – it was definitely on the way out (you can taste it) and the flesh was mostly disintegrated. So, it was just a mush.
Otherwise, still the good enough for us to return, maybe sans the crab 😊
Always a favourite spot in Mordialloc! The seafood is fresh, crispy, and cooked to perfection every time. Love their fish tacos and the classic fish & chips — always full of flavour without being greasy. The atmosphere is casual and beachy, with super friendly staff who make you feel right at home. Great place for a relaxed lunch or dinner with family and friends. Highly recommend if you’re after quality seafood with good vibes!
Absolutely love this place, we come regularly. The best seafood around and the staff are always lovely.
Love my fish with salad. My Scotsman love his seafood chowder but wished it has more ingredients. Wherever he goes he looks for seafood chowder.
Magnificent fish bar.
The dishes were amazing and very tasty.
All the ingredients were fresh.👍
The service was quick and professional. Great spot!
Highly recommend!👍👍👍
Great food, service and atmosphere. I ordered the fish tacos, overall it was nice but I think too much sauce made the fish a little soggy.. it wasn’t crispy.
