PERTH | A visit to Fremantle isn’t complete without a meal at Kailis Fishmarket Cafe. I’ve been having fish and chips here since I was a kid and eating here always beings back good memories. It’s been around since 1928, and has maintained its reputation for selling some of the best seafood in Western Australia over the years. Kailis is located directly on Fremantle Boat Harbour, so the day’s catch is delivered as fresh as it gets.
Recent renovations, spearheaded by George Kailis, in September this year have seen the space modernised a bit. It’s still unmistakably the same family run spot that I remember, but just a lot more contemporary.
The food offering has been updated a bit too, courtesy of chef Peter Manifis. There’s the “fry” station, which is where I head for my usual fish, chips, and squid combo, the “raw bar and grill station”, where you’ll find my favourite Greek-style marinated octopus.
There’s also the bar, which has local craft beer and wine, and bottled cocktails, a sweet section, and a section to buy fresh seafood to cook at home.
Not only will you find the classics at Kailis , but there’s also an increased focus on sustainably and underutilised fish, and things like uni waffles. I had to go for my classic order with vinegar and chicken salt of course, but I’m definitely keen to try some of the new things on the menu next time I’m in town.
