About Fishmongers Manly

Tucked away from the Corso bustle, this back-street chippery swaps heavy grease for crisp, tempura-crusted fish and thick, real hand-cut potato wedges. Regulars skip the tourist promenade to grab shaded courtyard tables without battling beachfront seagulls. From grilled barramundi over fragrant rice to tender salt-and-pepper calamari and crisp sweet potato crisps, seafood arrives light, clean, and made to order with garlic aioli and local craft ginger beer.

  • Hand-Cut Potato Wedges: Thick, skin-on potato slices fried in-house until crisp, finished with sweet potato crisps.
  • Tempura-Battered Seafood: Fresh fish like flathead coated in an airy tempura batter rather than dense beer crusts.
  • Courtyard Respite: Sheltered open-air seating in Rialto Lane away from crowded pedestrian footpaths and gulls.

  • Light, Crisp Tempura Batter

    Fried seafood is prepared in an airy tempura batter rather than dense pub beer batter, preserving the natural moisture and flavor of fresh fish.

    coated in a light, crisp tempura batter — were just as impressive.

  • Tranquil Alleyway Courtyard Retreat

    Tucked in an alleyway off the Corso, the courtyard offers sheltered dining away from crowded foot traffic and vehicle noise.

    Fishmongers provided a tranquil retreat from the frantic Friday night chaos of the Corso.

Fresh, elevated seafood favorites prepared to order

  • Grilled Barramundi

    The barramundi was extremely fresh and seasoned to perfection. Excellent quality for the price.

  • Battered Flathead

    Battered flathead with fries. Probably the best fish and chips I've had. Crispy batter, chips you could tell were made fresh and in house as opposed to brought in and frozen.

    Kevin Vu

  • Calamari

    This was hands-down the best calamari I’ve ever eaten. You could actually taste how fresh it was — tender, not chewy, and without that lingering aftertaste you sometimes get with seafood.

  • Fish Tacos

    Today I had the fish taco whish is fresh battered fish served on a bed of slaw topped with a gerkin salsa, slathered with a mayo. It was so full I couldn't close it.
