About Garfish Crows Nest

Garfish skips the white-tablecloth stuffiness of traditional seafood dining, turning out market catches and house signatures in a relaxed Crows Nest space. Regulars treat the kerbside tables as prime territory—complete with heaters and blankets when winter hits—while groups share multi-tiered seafood platters and sweet, char-grilled Moreton Bay bugs. The kitchen anchors the room with its signature baked snapper pie, followed by a warm sticky date pudding.

  • Signature Snapper Pie: House specialty baked snapper pie alongside rotating market catches like barramundi, mahi mahi, and mulloway.
  • Heated Kerbside Dining: Outdoor street dining fitted with dedicated heaters and blankets for cold evenings.
  • Celebratory Feasts: Welcoming setting geared for group feasts and milestone dinners with multi-course seafood platters and cakeage service.
