About Aces Seafood

Aces Seafood turns suburban Ermington into an unpretentious haven for fish market-quality catches, crisp battered fillets, and tender marinated octopus. Longtime regulars bypass coastside tourist traps for George’s bustling counter, where line cooks drop golden potato scallops into impeccably clean oil and assemble brimming seafood platters without skimping. The kitchen extends well beyond everyday fish and chips—plating plump, freshly shucked oysters, grilled lobster tail, and crunchy hot chips seasoned with chicken salt, always served with complimentary lemon wedges and tartare.

  • Wide seafood variety: Beyond standard fried fillets, the kitchen serves fresh-shucked raw oysters, tender marinated octopus, and whole seafood platters.
  • Clean-fry standards: Battered fish, sea scallops, and chips are fried crisp to order in fresh oil, yielding clean flavor without excess grease.
  • Complimentary condiments: Orders include tartare sauce, squeeze packs, and fresh lemon wedges at no extra charge.

  • Crowd-Pleasing Event Party Packs

    Party packs of freshly cooked fish cocktails reliably delight event guests with consistently high standards compared to standard takeaways.

    Got a few of the party packs of fish cocktails for an event, and everyone was asking where it was from, saying when they get it from other shops its not as nice.
