QIKI Cuisine Check: How to Choose the Perfect Seafood Restaurant in Carlton for You

80 percent of the seafood available in Melbourne comes from local commercial fishermen along Apollo Bay, Grippsland, Port Fairy, and Portland. Unfortunately Port Phillip has been closed to commercial fishing for almost two years, but that does not affect the quality of the seafood. The Melbourne Market is still as vibrant as ever, providing fresh fish to all the seafood restaurants in Carlton.

Seafood restaurants in Carlton usually serve seafood in white wine, cream, or oil-based sauces. Creamy mushroom, white wine garlic, and deep-fried baskets give dishes their rich flavor and yummy crunch. If you are in the mood for the rich texture of linguine and scallops drizzled with a white whine sauce or perfectly fried fish and chips the seafood restaurants in Carlton have you covered. Check out local specialty dishes below.
