A multi-purpose fresh ‘n’ cooked fish bar pushing the boat out on creative seafood bites.

There are many ways to use the set-up of this compact retail shop and casual restaurant tucked into a strip mall in Bicton. Graze the take-home counter and chat to the team about the best way to cook a mangrove jack fillet, or get advice about whether a dill sauce would work with a bit of goldband snapper. Another option would be to choose a fillet, walk it a few steps to the left, and have it grilled, battered or roasted by the kitchen team to be eaten at a bar counter or outdoor table, with a schooner of Swan Draught or Stone and Wood. But perhaps the best option is to deep-dive into the menu’s truly special stuff, dreamt up by chef Seth James (ex-Wills Domain, Frui Momento). You’ll find crayssants (that’s a crayfish croissant), an oozy, chunky tuna cheeseburger, and a sneaky little octopus hot dog – more like a slider – which sees a crisp-crumbed tentacle painted with kimchi Kewpie mayo stripes and curled into a little bullet of a bun. It’s all clever, courageous and straight-up delicious. Fish, but make it fun.
