2. Oyster Bar Elizabeth Quay
A spot with a view, Oyster Bar is top of the list when it comes to location, location, location. The waterfront views mixed with dozens (yes, we mean more than one) of oysters are the star of the show. Take them natural with lemon sourced locally and known for their rich and salty flavour. Or opted for grilled oysters with options like Kilpatrick (bacon, Worcestershire, tomato), chilli and cheddar, Thai (mint, coriander, red onion, Thai sauce and sometimes specials like prosciutto and brie or truffle and garlic.
If you made it passed the word, Worcestershire, they have more to oysters with seafood platters and other dishes like tacos and pastas up for grabs.

4. Kailis Bros Leederville
OK, this venue predates most venues dating back to 1926 when George Palassis Kailis started selling fish from a basket. Fast forward quite a few years and this establishment has a strong hold within Perth’s love for seafood.
It doesn’t get any fresher than this – you select the fish or seafood from the day’s catch and have the chefs prepare this for you. Ocean-to-plate is their philosophy from the clear water of the Indian Ocean. Pick from fish and chips, oysters, grilled – squid, prawns and octopus, seafood linguini, seafood platters and more. This is a loved local spot in Leederville.
