Welcome to Frying Nemo: Darwin’s Catch of the Day


Perched on the edge of the tranquil Tipperary Waters Marina in Stuart Park, Frying Nemo isn't just a chippy - it’s a Darwin institution. As a multiple award-winning restaurant, we’ve built our reputation on a simple philosophy: if it’s any fresher, it’s still in the ocean.


Whether you're looking for a breezy waterfront lunch or a sunset dinner to take home, we offer the ultimate casual dining experience in the Top End.



Why We’re the Local Favorite

We take pride in showcasing the very best of the Northern Territory. Here is what you can expect when you grab a table:


  • The Freshest NT Catch: We specialize in locally caught, premium Northern Territory fish. From wild-caught Barramundi to seasonal local treasures, our seafood is the star of the show.
  • Beyond the Sea: Not in the mood for fish? Our menu features a range of gourmet burgers and local favorites that hit the spot every time.
  • Eat In or Takeaway: Enjoy the serene marina views from our deck with a cold drink, or grab a family pack to go.
  • Award-Winning Quality: There’s a reason our trophy cabinet is full - we combine traditional techniques with the freshest ingredients Darwin has to offer.



Visit Us Today

Located in the heart of Stuart Park, we invite you to soak in the atmosphere of the marina and taste why we’ve been voted the best in the business.



Raise a Glass at the Marina

What’s better than the Territory’s best fish and chips? Pairing them with a cold one as the sun dips over the water.


Frying Nemo is fully licensed, offering the perfect spot to unwind. Whether you're a craft beer aficionado or a wine lover, our drink menu is curated to complement our fresh seafood and the tropical Darwin climate.



Our Drinks Selection

  • Local & Craft Beers: Support the Top End with our selection of Darwin-brewed beers, alongside a wide range of premium Australian and international labels.
