Stanley Wharf & Seafood
Stanley Wharf
A fishing port at the foot of The Nut, where you can buy freshly caught rock lobster, scallops and fish and chips with harbour views.
Stanley remains an important fishing port in northwest Tasmania. Fishing boats crowd the wharf, and there are direct-sale seafood shops and fish-and-chip stands serving local catches such as southern rock lobster, scallops, abalone and fish. The old bluestone warehouse beside the wharf and The Nut make a very photogenic scene. Rock lobster is priced by weight and is expensive, so go early in the peak season. The wharf can be linked with the historic village and Lyons Cottage on one walking route.
