Cicerello's Fremantle

Cicerello's Fremantle is a fish and chip shop in Fremantle, Western Australia. Its official history states that the story began in 1903 with Salvatore Cicerello, an Italian immigrant and pioneer of the crayfishing movement in the Albrolhos Islands. The business was bought by its current operators in 1996, and in 2001 the Unmack family opened Cicerello's Mandurah. The official website describes Cicerello's as having spent over 100 years fortifying fish 'n' chips, with locations in Fremantle's Fishing Boat Harbour and on the Mandurah foreshore.

According to the official history, Cicerello's beginnings were humble despite its large presence on the Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour. The story began in 1903 with Salvatore Cicerello, an Italian immigrant and pioneer of the crayfishing movement in the Albrolhos Islands, who became integral to the inception of Fremantle fishing culture. Steve Cicerello, who spent his childhood working on fishing boats with his father, returned to the seafood business. Pioneer and founder Steve Cicerello passed away in 1989; several years later, Cicerello's was bought by its current operators, who saw an opportunity to develop the iconic establishment in 1996. The rebuild sought to pay homage to the original Cicerello's by retaining historical features such as the quirky melamine tables and chairs, warehouse style concrete floors, and an expansion of the Aquarium attractions. In 2001, with Cicerello's in Fremantle full to the brim, the Unmack family saw an opportunity to share their fish 'n' chips with the growing Mandurah area, opening Cicerello's Mandurah with the same traditional menu, private marine aquariums and foreshore dining experience. To this day, three generations of the Unmack family, born and raised in East Fremantle, continue to work in the business 7 days a week to ensure the traditional family values of the Cicerello's name are preserved.
