About
Piscari Fish & Chips has built a strong reputation in Fremantle as a casual, no-fuss spot doing traditional Aussie fish and chips the right way. The menu leans on premium local seafood, with Goldband Snapper, Spanish Mackerel, Shark (flake), Barramundi, Silver Whiting, and Hake all on offer, cooked to a golden crisp and served fresh. Portions are generous, and regulars appreciate being able to control the salt on their chips, a small touch that makes a difference.
The seafood basket is a firm favourite among those wanting variety, combining calamari, scallops, large prawns, and a selection of fish in one serve that easily feeds two. It’s a great way to work through several of the premium species on offer. Prices are considered very reasonable for what you receive, and the relaxed dine-in setting makes it easy to linger over a meal rather than rushing off with a takeaway bag.
The shop is family friendly, with a dedicated kids’ menu, and wheelchair-accessible entry. Both lunch and dinner sessions draw a mix of locals, solo diners, and visitors to the area, including tourists keen to try a proper Fremantle fish and chip shop for the first time. Payment by card or NFC is accepted, and no reservation is needed.
With well over four and a half stars from more than 500 reviews, Piscari is one of the more consistently praised fish and chips spots in the Fremantle area. Check opening hours below before heading in during the dinner rush.

8 Reviews on “Piscari Fish & Chips”
The fish was pretty good. Got the seafood basket. Scallops didn’t have much flavor. Prawns were nice and fresh. Squid rings tender. Fish itself was good and crispy on the outside. Overall the food was good. Chips not so much. Just frozen and fried so that was sad. The sauce is also expensive for tiny packages. I guess you should just walk around with tomato sauce and tartar sauce if you go to any fish n chips places in Aus. Was good enough to go again if I had more sauce. Not good enough to make a special trip.
Did someone say the best fish and chips in Fremantle? Indeed, this non-pretentious joint serves very freshly fried fish and a super generous amount of chips! Get the seafood basket to try the calamari too. Remember to add some vinegar for the kick! Note: this place mainly to-go / takeaway, but there are 2 high tables if you wish to dine in. There’s some street parking.
Fish is fresh and cooked to the crispy touch, chips are good, as i got to decide the salt level on them although i prefer no salt-dine-in advantage. Price is good- big at aud15, small for aud11 for a party of 3. Glad to make the 25mins walk to this place- highly recommended for ones crave for good fish & chips. Services excellent, keep it up! Wide choices of drinks to choose from too.
It had lots of promise but a little disappointing. Fish not that nice and chips were not crisp. We saw some good reviews but did not live up to hype and neither of us could finish our meals.
We spent 5 weeks in WA and everywhere else was exceptional when we had fish and chips (including roadhouse in Bremer Bay).
I think they need to adopt the Greek approach to seafood (simple preparation with seasoning and fresh oils highlighting the fresh natural flavour of very fresh seafood)
Great fish & chips! Took my UK girlfriend here to show off Aussie fish & chips and was not disappointed. We rocked up 5min before close and they let us finish our meal while they close up. Was very nice of them. Some Malt Vinegar would elevate the experience in our opinion
We got a couple of fisherman’s baskets. Produce was good. Size was ok. Priced well.
Flavour not great – burn or old oil (or both).
Hopefully just a bad day.
Online ordering is very easy.
I feel very sorry for this place. It was my first time visiting tonight after reading all the great reviews and I was excited to try. I ordered online at 5pm for a 6.15pm pick up and arrived on time, but ended up waiting an extra 35 mins. It’s a Saturday night and the place was very busy. There was about 8 people working and everyone seemed very stressed and overwhelmed. A customer who was clearly a regular was giving some firm feedback to the apparently recent new owners of this business. During the discussion, the owner mentioned the oil is getting changed once a week, when in a business like this it should be twice a week (as the regular mentioned too) and you can tell – the oil is not clean, the fish and chips are too dark and the flavour is not great. Chips are soggy. Oil is running so hot you can see the steam. I ordered grilled Fremantle sardines and watched them be cooked (the need max 3 minutes per side) but they were cooked for over 10 minutes and were way overcooked. To top it off, our fish was the wrong order. The owner is adamant they are using the same suppliers and processes as the previous owners but clearly something is not working for them. I really hope they find their feet and it works out for them. Owning a small business is often a thankless task and I do not envy them. All the best and hope you take this feedback on board. They really are working hard and trying their best. A shame because the reviews were so great.
Great food. Try the “Fish basket”: good for two meals, a variety of fish. Scallops. Calamari rings and large prawns. Price is good.
