Book NowAbout Kailis Fishmarket Cafe
Feast on market-fresh grilled snapper and heaping seafood platters right over the water at Fishing Boat Harbour. Locals treat this sprawling Fremantle counter-service fixture as an unhurried coastal ritual—order battered fish and chips at the fry window, grab cold drinks from the bar, and stake out a wooden picnic bench along the pier. Beeper in hand, head over to the self-serve seasoning station to hit hot chips with paprika salt and malt vinegar. Outside tables get breezy harbour views, while indoor benches offer quiet shelter from cheeky gulls as you dig into grilled prawns, tender calamari, and waffle ice cream.
- Multi-Counter Ordering: Separate stations for deep-fried favourites, BBQ grills, bar drinks, and desserts keep walk-up ordering fast and low-pressure.
- Dedicated Seasoning Station: Customise hot chips and fresh catches with assorted seasoned salts, ground peppers, and vinegars at the self-serve counter.
- Harbourside Seafood Feasts: Generous platters of battered fish, scallops, calamari, and grilled seafood served right on Fremantle's working harbour.

Before you head over
Practical pointers to help you navigate queues, ordering, and harbourside dining.
Navigate the Separate Ordering Counters
Separate counters handle fried food, grilled BBQ options, beverages, and desserts. Coordinate your group's orders knowing each counter operates independently and dishes will come out at different times.
Guard Food from Harbour Seagulls
Outdoor harbor tables offer great waterfront views, but opportunistic seagulls frequently swoop down to snatch unattended food. Keep an eye on your trays or dine indoors if you prefer a stress-free meal.
Customize at the Seasoning Station
Hot chips come lightly seasoned from the kitchen, but you can customize your meal with assorted seasoned salts, peppers, and vinegars available at the self-service condiment stations.
