Right in the heart of Adelaide lies an iconic seafood restaurant that has become a beacon for seafood enthusiasts. After opening in 2020 and going to win the Best Seafood Restaurant in 2023, Fishbank Bar & Grill was built on a philosophy of serving only the freshest locally sourced fish that are delivered daily. Those fresh ingredients make all the difference for their diverse menu: whether Grilled Murray Cod, Kinkawooka Mussels, and even their legendary Fishbank Fish & Chips, all using a unique dry-age process on their fish that is normally reserved for beef.
