Fremantle, with its charming vintage vibe, is a place that begs to be captured on Instagram. During my second visit to Kailis Fishmarket Cafe, I discovered some noteworthy aspects that are worth sharing.

First and foremost, making a reservation beforehand is advisable, as the lunchtime rush can be quite crowded. If you prefer a more relaxed dining experience, arriving after 2pm for a walk-in might be a better option.

To my surprise, even as someone who generally dislikes fresh oysters, I found the ones at Kailis Fishmarket Cafe to be exceptionally fresh. The initial taste was sweet, buttery, and reminiscent of the sea. However, the aftertaste had a slightly fishy quality to it, which might not be to everyone's liking.

The service provided by the staff was delightful and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. I particularly relished their grilled lobsters and prawns, which were flavorful and succulent. The grilled fish skewers also impressed with their tastiness and freshness.

On the other hand, I tried their salmon sashimi, and while it was fresh, it didn't quite meet the standards of traditional Japanese-style sashimi. The slicing technique fell short of the precision found in authentic Japanese preparations.

Not to be overlooked, their fish & chips were simply delicious, satisfying cravings for a classic seafood delight.

Without a doubt, Kailis Fishmarket Cafe has become my favorite dining spot in Fremantle. Their fresh seafood offerings, particularly the grilled lobsters, prawns, and fish skewers, left a lasting impression. Although the salmon sashimi didn't quite match Japanese standards, it was still enjoyable. Don't miss the chance to indulge in their delightful fish & chips.

Highly recommended for a memorable dining experience while exploring the vintage charm of Fremantle!
