Located in the heart of Wellington at 27 Church St, Manny Fisheries stands out as a beloved local gem specializing in authentic fish and chips takeaway. This family-run business, proudly managed by a Portuguese family for many years, delivers an unmatched quality of fresh, never frozen seafood that keeps customers coming back time and time again.
From the moment you indulge in their signature hake to their crispy calamari and perfectly golden fish cakes, every bite bursts with freshness and skillful preparation. Customers like Henry Coston have raved about the wonderfully fresh, crispy texture of the hake paired with well-prepared calamari and fish cakes, making for a truly satisfying meal. Another enthusiastic patron, Jan Bergman, praises the flaky, juicy texture of the hake, coupled with batter cooked to perfection and slap chips that rival those served in sit-down restaurants.
What truly sets Manny Fisheries apart is their commitment to quality and consistency. Didier Magents shares his dedication to this spot, traveling all the way from Paarl to Wellington just for their unbeatable fillet and chips. This passion for quality reflects in every order — the fish is fresh and tender, the chips are crispy yet fluffy inside, and the portion sizes are generous, leaving you thoroughly satisfied.
