Why Dine at Row Your Boat Fish Bar

Why Berwick locals choose Row Your Boat for elevated fish and chips, date nights, and family dining.

  • Pristine, non-greasy seafood variety

    Enjoy premium seafood fare like fresh oysters natural, grilled prawn skewers, and tender whiting alongside delicately crispy chips without heavy oil.

    Oysters natural and Prawn skewers for entree were to die for. The prawns were cooked to perfection and the oysters were juicy, fat and sooo fresh.

    Came here tonight and had the Barramundi burger OMG! and the home-made chille lime salsa made the burger extra special

  • Relaxed dine-in ambiance with wine and table service

    Dine inside a cozy, welcoming venue offering seated table service, quality wine, and char-grilled mains that elevate your evening well beyond typical takeaway.

    Definitely higher class than a fast food outlet, lovely glass of wine and friendly, attentive service, but best of all, the yummiest, char grilled burgers with fresh ingredients.

    Savor an easygoing, romantic evening with weekly specials like seafood pasta in a comfortable neighborhood environment.

    The food is so good - I’m not usually a fan of fish but we come here almost every week for date night because it’s delicious!

Beloved house specialties and freshly cooked seafood favorites

  • Chips

    The ones here though are always so delicately crispy, but tender on the inside, they are just as much of a catch as the fish.

Beyond the menu

Thoughtful service touches and kitchen flexibility that elevate the casual seafood experience.

  • Split Preparation on Demand

    The kitchen accommodates split-cookery preferences on individual portions, such as fulfilling requests for half-fried and half-grilled squid rings in a single dish.

  • House-Crafted Specialty Sauces

    Dishes and burgers are paired with distinct house-crafted condiments, including signature RYB sauce and home-made chilli lime salsa.

  • Table Service with Wine & Shellfish

    Beyond takeaway classics, diners can enjoy restaurant-style table service paired with a glass of wine, fresh natural oysters, and grilled seafood skewers.

  • Hands-On Owner Curation

    The owner actively consults with guests to curate bespoke seafood platters and personally ensures large unscheduled parties are graciously accommodated.

Before you head over

Practical advice on seating, portion sizes, and payment for a smooth visit

  • Book Ahead or Arrive Early for Inside Seating

    Dining in offers table service and a casual date-night setting, but indoor tables fill up fast during evening peak hours. Booking ahead or arriving earlier secures interior seating away from nearby street foot traffic.

  • Factor in Sizable Portions When Ordering

    Seafood orders and pack sides feature generous portions—such as medium chips comfortably feeding two adults—so consider sharing sides or requesting custom split cooking like half-fried, half-grilled squid.

  • Be Mindful of Card Payment Surcharges

    Be prepared for an EFTPOS surcharge when paying by card; carrying cash or factoring in the transaction fee helps prevent surprises at the register.
