Woy Woy Fishermen’s Wharf

Seafood$$

Central Coast folk, Sydney visitors and hungry pelicans all flock here for fresh local seafood enjoyed at various stages of preparation.

Established four decades ago by Pat and Anne Cregan, the Wharf boasts
a fishmonger and a takeaway selling crisp-battered fish and crunchy,
fluffy chips, but for a real treat, try the beautiful dining room built over sparkling water.

Service is order-at-the-bar and mostly minimal, but you don’t need anything more when the sun is glinting off the high ceiling, and whole Sichuan salt-and-
pepper fried snapper is audibly crunchy.

Specials range from pipis in XO to fried red gurnard, while regular favourites include barbecued slipper lobster tacos and wonderfully savoury tempura prawn cutlets.

At least twice a day, when fishmongers share the day’s offcuts, the pelicans
eat alongside. Gold standard birdwatching with a margarita in hand.
