By now, surely you have heard of the barramundi fish, famous in the Kimberley that can be found in rivers and ocean but you might still be searching for where to get it. Look no further than the local institution, the Ord Barra Shack. Famous for fresh seafood, laid back atmosphere, and reasonable prices.

While the daily sourced barramundi straight from the Ord River is the highlight, the menu includes other seafood options like prawns, coral trout, and other seasonal fish. We really like it here as they don’t over complicate the flavours and allow the natural flavour to be tasted. Not wanting seafood tonight? Then pick up a steak, burger, or vegetarian option.

​So what are you waiting for? Bring your drinks, sit in the open-air dining family friendly atmosphere where on the occasion, local musicians come by to play their music. Info on live music can be found on their website. You might even meet a local who will share the secret on how to catch the eluding barramundi. If you already know how to catch a barramundi and in fact have one in hand, bring it in and they will cook it up for you and charge just a small preparation fee.
