We had the smoked eel on nori, superb crunchy so tasty. The white bait and zucchini also great, crispy and with a complementary sauce. The Murray cod exceeded expectations, perfectly cooked, salty crispy skin and pure white flesh with no hint of mud common in many fresh water fish all on a bed of broad beans and other greens.

Lovely venue, outstanding manager/waiter who served us. Professional and accommodating to my children needs. Calamari was fresh, golden, full of flavour. Venue beautifully located beside the beach with views of the bay. Well done team Pier. We shall return again..
