Fish Night at Moonhouse

Fish of the Day, Your Way: Dive Into Fish Night at Moonhouse, Balaclava

Every Wednesday from 5:30 PM, something special simmers behind the Art Deco walls of Moonhouse, Balaclava’s beloved modern Chinese restaurant. It’s called Fish Night, and it’s your midweek ticket to flavour, freshness, and culinary freedom—all for just $30 per person.

Whether you’re a seafood fan or simply craving something light, Fish Night at Moonhouse invites you to experience market-fresh fish cooked your way—steamed or pan-fried—with your choice of fragrant broth and vibrant sides to match.

Your Midweek Seafood Ritual Starts Here

At the heart of Fish Night is the Fish of the Day, sourced fresh from local markets. You choose the cooking style—steamed for delicate tenderness or pan-fried for a golden, crisp finish. Then customise your plate with a rich, flavour-forward broth. 

You have two options:

  • Firewater Broth – Bold, spicy, and invigorating

  • Shaoxing Broth – Subtle, aromatic, and deeply comforting


This is not just dinner. It’s a choose-your-own-adventure kind of feast, thoughtfully balanced with sides to round out your plate. Between two diners, you’ll select two sides from a list that brings punchy flavour and texture:

  • Chinese Broccoli with Sesame – Nutty, earthy greens with a light crunch

  • Kung Pao Brussels Sprouts – A spicy, crispy twist on a classic

  • Daily Fried Rice – Wok-tossed and packed with umami

  • Steamed Rice – Simple and satisfying


Perfect for Casual Dates, Catch-ups, or Solo Feasting

Moonhouse offers a warm, buzzy atmosphere with subtle nods to its Art Deco heritage—stylish but relaxed, elegant yet approachable.

Bookings are recommended, especially as Fish Night builds a reputation for flavour and value. But walk-ins are always welcome if you’re feeling spontaneous.
