For a town that sits beside a river, Lane Cove has very few seafood restaurants. However, if you’ve got a hankering for the salty taste of ocean wildlife, here are a couple of places that will satisfy that desire.
Poseidon’s Catch
Selling both fresh and cooked seafood, this is a great beachside-style, on-the-street, fish and chips and other tasty seafood shop. A Local Business Award winner, they sell all your favourites in simple, fresh, delicious meals. Firm bright orange prawns, fresh fish, tender calamari, thick fluffy fries. Great for a quick fix or economical lunch/dinner.
Shop 6, 225 Burns Bay Rd, Lane Cove
Fourth Fish Cafe and Restaurant
This is sit-down dining. It’s a nice eat-in experience with indoor and outdoor areas and they’ve bought into the whole nautical decor concept hook, line, and sinker (‘scuse the pun). The unusual name is derived from the chef’s desire to create four new specials each month. The varied menu includes oysters, prawns, soft-shelled crab, octopus, mussels and other delights for entree/share plates, and several fish species for main. If you’re with a non-seafood lover, the restaurant also offers beef, pork and chicken alternatives.
Shop 1/12-16 Burns Bay Road, Lane Cove
Lane Cove Sushi Bar
This is definitely the kind of place you go to with a group of people because you’ll want to be able to order lots of different dishes. The sushi platters look amazing and are presented really nicely. They offer a great selection of sushi and sashimi, bento boxes, tempura, Japanese salads, interesting entrees, and mains served with rice. Plus udon, ramen and authentic Japanese beer.
