Fishmonger's, Byron Bay

We visited this fish cafe on our first night in Byron Bay.  Having read some reviews, this place seemed to be very popular.  We were there quite early.  Not a big place but has tables and chairs to sit and enjoy one's meal.  It's also BYO and there is a bottle shop across the road.

This cafe has two other outlets in Australia, one in Manly and the other in Bondi Beach.  Fish Mongers, Byron Bay was busy, people were queuing up to order either to sit down or for a takeaway.  There is the standard menu which is supplemented by their specials which included Salmon, Snapper, Barramundi and Prawns.  The seafood then came with various combinations ie. either fragrant rice and corn or salad or tempura vegies... therefore not the usual fish and chips.  Price was reasonable, on average around $20.00 and it was a decent serve.

We ordered a serving of the fish but with salad together with a serve of their salt and pepper calamari.  The fish was yummy - not oily at all.  Everyone talked about the kumara chips - they were definitely a good supplement.

I loved the salt and pepper calamari too - cooked to perfection.

Loved this place so much, I went back there again prior to heading home.  Must check out their outlets in Sydney to satisfy my search for a GREAT fish and chips!
