Fish Factory

We visited in the run up to Easter to source a whole ocean trout. Suffice to say we weren't the only ones, but The Fish Factory were very well organised in both their management of the queues and that of the car park. Once in, service was fluid and staff were knowledgeable and attentive. Product was top drawer too. Would not hesitate to recommend nor to repeat custom.

Dined in for an early lunch, as well as buying some seafood on the way out. The freshest seafood, it was fantastic. The marinara was particularly good, with all of the seafood perfectly cooked - especially the bug and calamari which are very easy to over cook. Not raw, not dry, very juicy and perfect. The arancini was also good, and the kids enjoyed their sliders. The kids cheese burger party was very juicy as well, good to see they take care in even the smaller portions. The juice and ice cream extra also kept them little ones happy. Fish tacos also great. The king crab, oysters and octopus we got on the way out were also very good. Not the cheapest (the sashimi was a bit pricey but looked fresh), but the quality is certainly there. The staff are all very friendly and professional. They appear cross-trained to be in the kitchen or the store side depending on demand at the time which is super efficient, and is satisfying to watch from the restaurant as they help where needed most. The noise from the store side is quite well isolated on the restaurant side, so it's pretty quiet even when full of customers. Plenty of parking on site and great signage to turn in from the road when traveling from East to West, can't miss it. Note when exiting the carpark it's a no right turn which speeds up the exit was well. Highly recommended, worth the trip across town.

The seafood market area is clean and tidy, and you can find a good selection of fish and mussels. I bought crabs from there also good. The sushi bar is super fresh but a tad pricey. The bistro is also good if you are lucky to go when it is on service. Otherwise fish and chips takeaways is what they offer.

The fish factory is a great place to get a variety of fresh seafood. One can get everything from oysters, calamari and prawns to sashimi grade tuna and salmon. The food from the restaurant is also very good. It's generally our place to go for good fish and chips. The tartare sauce is pretty tasty as well.
