Overview
For many people out there, it is the Good Friday tradition to only eat fish this coming Friday. Whether you're after a fast fix on the day, or wanting to cook some delicious fish for yourself this Friday, we've narrowed down the best options for you.
Fast Fish
Whichever side of town you live on, everybody has their very favourite fish and chip shop. We have looked north, south, east and west and narrowed down our picks for each side of town so that everybody can be seafood-satisfied this Friday.
Northsiders should head to Grilled Fish on Sandgate Road in Albion or Get Fished at Newmarket, both serving delicious and reasonably priced take away fish and chips.
Southsiders will swear black and blue about the joys of Swampdog. Their focus on healthy and sustainable serving of fish exists through their motto "Good for you, good for me, good for the sea." It is fish and chips at the highest quality.
Westsiders should head to A Salt and Battery, not only bragging some of the best fish and chips in Brisbane, but also one of the best fish and chip shop names of all time. Tippler's Seafood at Gailey Fiveways in St Lucia is also a winner.
Eastsiders love the Fishmonger's Wife for the beautiful flavours they prepare their fish with including the wild wattleseed cod and lemongrass snapper.
Inner city folks should head to Carraway Pier in Kelvin Grove for fast, friendly and fabulous service. The Fishery in Milton serves top quality fish and always has a great display of fresh fish oysters and prawns to enjoy as well.
Fish for home
Samie's Girl is one of Brisbane's longest running fish markets. Located near the Breakfast Creek wharf, the selection at Samie's Girl is always top shelf and varied according to availability.
Morgan's Seafood has the largest shop display of seafood in all of Queensland so if it's variety that you are after then it is worth making the drive out to Scarborough to pick up some fresh produce to share with family and friends.
George's Seafood in West End is perfect for those in the inner city looking for some fresh seafood to take home. Their display is always full of fresh prawns, oysters and bugs and the boys behind the counter are more than happy to provide great tip.
Dining in
If it's atmosphere that you are after, and you want the food prepared and served to you on a plate then head along to Alfred and Constance's Fish and Chip Pop Up or to Riverbar and Kitchen who are open all day on Good Friday.
