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.

Before you head over

Practical advice on timing, seating, and ordering for your visit to the co-op

  • Time your visit around the noon rush

    The venue gets particularly busy after 12:00 PM when crowds gather for the daily noon pelican feeding. Arrive a bit earlier or anticipate busy queues around lunchtime.

  • Protect your food from seagulls outside

    While outdoor seating offers harbor views, local seagulls are persistent and will snatch unattended food. Keep meals closely covered or opt for indoor tables if dining with young children.

  • Shop the wet counter while waiting for hot food

    The co-op features two sections: a cooked-to-order kitchen and a retail fresh seafood counter. Take advantage of your buzzer wait time to browse fresh or frozen catch to take home.
