Fishers of Freycinet
Tasmania
At a glance
Fishers of Freycinet is a specialist seafood venue at Devil’s Corner Cellar Door in Apslawn, on Tasmania’s east coast. The setting combines a relaxed food-and-wine stop with a focus on produce from the surrounding waters and region. Its style is informal and ingredient-led, with seafood taking priority over the broad takeaway format.
The menu centres on freshly opened oysters, mussels and a changing selection of seafood supplied by local fishermen and East Coast producers. Much of the produce comes from Great Oyster Bay, giving the cooking a strong connection to the nearby marine environment. Seasonal availability shapes the offering, so the selection may vary according to the daily catch and local harvests.
Oysters are served freshly shucked, while mussels form one of the venue’s key offerings. Daily specials add further variety alongside the regular seafood focus. The cooking is presented as straightforward and flavour-conscious, allowing the quality of the produce to remain central. Fishers of Freycinet suits diners seeking fresh seafood in a casual setting rather than a standard seafood takeaway.
Drinks are part of the experience, with sparkling wine and riesling available through the cellar door. A sunny spot provides a natural way to extend the visit, making the venue suitable for a relaxed meal, a seafood stop during an East Coast drive or a food-and-wine outing connected to the surrounding vineyards and coast. The atmosphere is natural and unhurried, with the location contributing to the appeal without overshadowing the food.
The venue is positioned about 10 minutes south of Bicheno and is also within reach of Coles Bay and Freycinet-related touring routes. Its location at 1/1 Sherbourne Road makes it a practical stop for visitors exploring the East Coast, as well as for locals looking for oysters, mussels and other locally sourced seafood. Fishers of Freycinet is best suited to seafood lovers, casual daytime diners and visitors who appreciate seasonal produce served in a laid-back cellar-door setting.
