Sodafish
Highlights
- Savour fresh seafood sourced directly from local fishermen, ensuring minimal food miles and maximum flavour.
- Capture stunning sunsets while enjoying laid-back waterside dining at Middle Boat Harbour.
- Indulge in takeaway fish and chips from the repurposed floating ferry cafe for a casual seaside feast.
- Explore regional produce and wine in a relaxed atmosphere designed for memorable dining experiences.
Nick Mahlook ex-Atlantic, Stokehouse, has returned to his hometown after 20 years and repurposed the old floating ferry cafe into a bona fide Seafood Restaurant upstairs with takeaway fish and chips also available to order.
Sodafish showcases the best the region has to offer, sharing the wharf with the Lakes Entrance fishing fleet means very low food miles. All seafood comes straight from the neighbouring fisherman.
Capture the stunning sunsets and salty sea air, in a laid-back, casual dining offer that explores and features some of the region’s finest produce and wine.
