Very impressive fish and chips - could hardly be bettered, we felt, for freshness and choice of fish - which was perfectly crumbed and cooked- and excellent chips, done the way they should be. Barramundi is our favourite fish ( only Australian, and preferably wild caught) and at The Fish Mongers you can select your fish from the window display and have it cooked your way - battered, crumbed or grilled. Their Barra was delicious and succulent, tasted very fresh, and, as noted above, was perfectly cooked and served with plenty of lemon wedges. The pieces were generous and so were the serves of chips. Our UK guest said one would never get Fish and Chips so good in UK.We went back twice in the w...
On approaching this fish n chip shop I stopped to look at the fresh fish in the window. It looked good, and even though a piece of fried flake was $10, I decided to give it a go. I order 2 pieces of flake, 2 sea scallops, 2 potato scallops and chips for 2 people, which came to $35, which isn't cheap but I thought quality costs more. How wrong I was, the fish was so dry and didn't taste fresh, a bit like eating a fillet of leather. The sea scallops also tasted old and were tough. The chips were dried out and the potato scallops were really just circles of fried batter with a thin slice of potato.Amongst the worst fish n chips I have ever had, so my advice is find somewhere nice to eat.
We waited for 50 minutes for our order, with only half of it being brought out, and it was left sitting outside for 20 minutes making it cold. When I inquired about our food, it was handed to us stone cold. I have been coming here for many years, but I will never return. It was a waste of money as the prices were unreasonable and we did not receive what we paid for. I requested a full refund and left without having lunch. I do not recommend this place at all.
The restaurant was slow and very busy. We ordered a variety of dishes for the family, including fresh oysters, shrimp, cooked fish and chips, scallops, and calamari. The fish was overcooked, but the rest of the dishes were okay. The wait time was also lengthy. They could improve on the quality of the fish. The oysters and shrimp were fresh but small and expensive.

this is a great place to go for hot and fresh fish and chips (regular potato or sweet potato) in Burleigh Heads. It was a bit of a wait for our order to come up on a busy Easter Sunday afternoon...but worth the wait. I had the crumbed cod...very good. The grilled fish others had may not have been as tasty (but undoubtedly was more healthy).....
Dropped by a few weeks ago during the Easter holidays. We tried the red snapper and some squid rings.. Really good stuff.. The bread crumb coating was not too thick or oily and the squid rings were fresh and sweet. Regret not ordering more to take away
I had a relaxing lunch of prawns and calamari with chips, it was very busy there, the produce was very good, very relaxed atmosphere, the service was excellent and there's a sneaky bottle shop across the road if you're discrete and want some wine ????
I may have been lucky but I can only go on my own experience. I came across this place by chance and had the best fish and chips I can recall. The service was good and I am surprised that there are so many negative comments here.

The worst Fish and Chip meal I have ever had. I had takeaway whiting fillets and chips. The fish was totally overcooked and dry and the chips were also overcooked with a large portion inedible. Most disappointing.
Excellent spot on James Street to pick up all your essential fried seafood and potato treats.
