After 5 weeks largely spent on the coastlines of every area of Australia (save Queensland) and a good many seafood platters or fish ‘n’ chips, I think we can safely rate Manly Fish Café as serving the best of those fried fish/seafood meals. Absolutely delicious seafood platter of beer-buttered fish and scallops along with crumbed prawns and squid. The obligatory and ubiquitous chips were crispy, not soggy. The side salad was unusual in its ingredients but also scrumptious. Top it off with attentive, friendly staff and a comfortable setting near the beach...well, don’t miss this place if you’re in Manly.
Excellent food. Well worth a visit. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.
This place is quite busy in the afternoon so ordered some fish and chips to eat and sit by the beach. Tried the crumbed snapper and was cooked perfectly. The chips were okay, but not to my preference. It was better than the traditional British style, where it's more soft and you relied on the salt and vinegar, but still wasn't crispy enough. Overall enjoyed it and would come back again!
Very nice fish and chips (no photoes to prevent the fish grabbing seagulls) - the fish expecially is fresh and full bodied.
Lotsa fresh seafood as well.

After all these years this place is still one of my favourites 😍 Great quality fish and chips with huge portions, at very very reasonable prices. The chips aren't greasy whatsoever like some other places and are very fluffy and thick. The salmon is always cooked to perfection and tastes very fresh. Can't wait to come back.
Enjoyed the deliciously prepared fish and chips! Was surprised by the size and quality of the food.
