Kailis' Fish Market Café, Seafood restaurant in Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour, Australia.
Kailis' Fish Market Café is a seafood restaurant and takeaway on the waterfront of Fremantle, in Western Australia. It has several counters offering fried fish, raw seafood, and grilled options, along with open-air seating facing the harbor.
The business started in 1928 as a simple fish market on the Fremantle harborfront. Over the following decades, it grew into a full restaurant serving catches from Western Australian waters.
The café sits beside a working harbor where fishing boats still bring in their daily catch, making the seafood on the menu genuinely local. Eating there feels less like dining at a tourist spot and more like sitting at the edge of an active port.
The café is right on the Fremantle harbor boardwalk and easy to reach on foot from the town center. It is worth coming outside of peak hours, as there are several counters worth browsing without a crowd.
The café also runs an ice cream counter with flavors made on site, including a fish-and-chips ice cream that playfully nods to the harbor setting. It is one of those details that visitors rarely expect to find at a seafood market.
