Book NowAbout The Seafood King Bankstown
This bustling Bankstown Central counter doubles as a pristine wet fishmonger and a no-nonsense seafood cafe. Pick whole whiting or barramundi straight off the ice to be cleaned and grilled on the spot, or pull up a seat for bargain lunch specials. Regulars gravitate toward the five fish cocktails and chips—crisp golden batter packed with thick white fish rather than oily air—alongside calamari fried either crumbed or battered to order.
- Cooked on the spot: Select whole fish like whiting directly from the wet market display to be cleaned and grilled to order on the spot.
- Market and cafe under one roof: A retail wet fishmonger and casual cafe counter in one, serving everything from platters to family takeaway boxes packed on ice.
- Bargain counter specials: Generous lunch runs lean heavily on quick-serve staples, including a ten-dollar five-piece fish cocktail and chip combo.
