Bungalow 8
Retreat to the far end of King St Wharf if the mayhem of Darling Harbour starts to melt your mind. Slink into a low leather booth on the cool slate floor, watch the harbour lights and slurp a lemongrass laksa stacked high with fresh mussels (all-you-can-eat bivalves on Tuesdays). The Loft bar upstairs has cool cocktails.

Mohr Fish
Teutonic Iron Chef Hans Mohr started this fishy takeaway decades ago, plating up fancy fish and chips with Euro stylings. The interior is more East End London eel-and-mash shop than hip Sydney, but the food is brilliant: don’t miss the prawn-and-fish dumplings with chilli soy sauce.

Doyles at the Quay
Here is another slick, well-placed branch of the Doyles empire, offering outstanding views of the Sydney Opera House, the Harbour Bridge and Circular Quay in general. On a sunny day, snag a breezy promenade table under a white umbrella and enjoy the massive-portioned (and wallet-emptying) fish and chips - life doesn't get much better than this.

Pier
Bobbing with the marina yachts on stilts over Rose Bay, Pier serves exhilarating seafood. Try the seared scallops on kipfler potato confit with baby salad and creamed truffle vinaigrette, or a meltingly good salmon pastrami. The floorboards are caulked like a yacht – can we set sail with this menu? The tasting room offers bite-sized versions of the grown-up portions next door.

Fish Face
This tiled, triangular fish-and-chipper looks like any old deep-fry takeaway at first glance, but wait till you see the menu: stylin’ sushi, amazing fish curries and seriously upbeat underwater species such as Hiramasa kingfish with spiced beetroot relish and crispy pancetta. The kitchen consumes most of the room – stools and benches are an afterthought.

Jack & Jill's Fish Café
Like Jack and Jill - go up the hill - then close to the north end of Coogee Beach you will see this simple, homely and unpretentious place, lying away from the maddening crowds. It's perfect for folks looking for good seafood dishes at reasonable prices. We recommend the Cajun-spiced barramundi with rice, but the tandoori perch is also worth a bite.

Lure
This small fish shop will make you look good eating fish 'n' chips and sipping organic coffee, right on Taylor Square. Its gleaming sidewalk tables are airy and attractive, while a fancier back area offers privacy for the celebrity in you. Order the salmon teriyaki salad or salt 'n' pepper squid and feel even more special.

Boathouse on Blackwattle Bay
The best restaurant in Glebe, and one of the best seafood restaurants in Sydney. Offerings range from oysters so fresh you’d think you shucked them yourself, to a snapper pie that’ll go straight to the top of your favourite dish list. Amazing Anzac Bridge views; reservations essential.

Mongers
Gourmet, grease-free fish and chips for those who are fond of tradition, but not at the expense of their waistline. Grab some low-joule grilled whiting and some thin-cut sweet-potato chips and head for the sand.
