About San Remo Fishermans Co-Op

Perched right beside the San Remo pier, this bustling working co-op dishes out pristine, golden fish and chips straight from the fryer. Road-trippers crossing over to Phillip Island stop in for steaming fried flake, crunchy potato cakes, and plump fresh oysters shucked on the spot. Tables outside catch the salty sea breeze—and the daily noon pelican feeding along the water—while an adjoining wet counter lets you pack chilled catch on ice for home.

  • Pier-side fish & chips: Crisp, golden fried flake and hot chips served fresh from the fryer alongside plump, shucked oysters.
  • Noon pelican feeding: Grab a table on the wharf at midday to catch pelicans gathering for their regular feeding by the water.
  • Fresh catch wet counter: A working co-op setup featuring an adjoining retail counter stocked with fresh and frozen raw catch to take home.
