Clayfield Sea Markets

Manly Boathouse

Relaxing while looking out to a beautiful view of the sea is pretty great. You know what makes it even better? An expansive menu of expertly crafted seafood dishes right at your fingertips – and Manly Boathouse has both. With a delightful, bougie atmosphere, blue and white striped umbrellas, and a wraparound view of Moreton Bay, just being in the boathouse is an experience in itself. In addition to their to-die-for fish and chips, they have spectacular dinner platters like scallop risotto or your choice of freshly caught market fish. Also, be sure to try the full in-house bar, specifically the very long list of wines. 

 

One Fish Two Fish

Housed inside a quaint old building in Kangaroo Point, One Fish Two Fish also has a slightly posh and cosy atmosphere. But don’t be fooled – they pack a punch when it comes time to fire up the grill and deliver a traditional Aussie fish and chips. Choose from cod, sand whiting, red emperor, or salmon and don’t forget to pair it with their zingy coleslaw, tangy tartar sauce and classic beer battered chips.

 

Doug’s Seafood Cafe

Doug’s Seafood Cafe is a staple for Moreton Bay residents, and it’s easy to see why. On top of being a family owned business, pet friendly, and open 7 days a week, they are also known for their significantly large portion sizes. They have a great array of fresh fish choices, but if you’re looking for something new opt for their catch of the day to spice up your fish and chips experience!
