Awesome feed. The gluten free salt, pepper and garlic calamari, was divine. It was the tenderest calamari we've every eaten (and being my favourite thing I've eaten a lot of it). The gluten free menu was Quite extensive which was really nice to have choose between so many stunning dishes. The staff were courteous and very considerate. Service was amazing. Happily drive the hour it took to get there every night for tea. Can't wait wait to bring our friends back.
Heaven for Coeliacs. My go to takeaway choice. When being diagnosed as Coeliac I thought my fast food options were gone. Thanks to The Fishmonger's Wife I can grab a takeaway meal or dine in at the restaurant. The seafood is top quality, the chips excellent and the drinks options extensive. Everything I need and varying options depending on my craving. The salt & pepper calamari and flake take my pick as best buys.
A really nice find for us when visiting family nearby. A great place for people who can’t handle gluten (me), but just as good for those who can. The fish was very tender and flavoursome, with excellent chips. Other dishes were just as good for our party. Service was relaxed, friendly and efficient. Highly recommended.
Fantastic service, excellent gluten free menu and the best GF fish and chips I’ve ever had! Keep up the good work!!
Excellent customer service, melt in your mouth Salt and Pepper Garlic Calamari made for two very happy people with Coeliacs! Staff patiently reassured little Miss 6 who repeatedly checked that her food was all gluten free. Love the new location and dine in area.
Food was delicious, very clean & kid friendly, so many gf option, the service was fantastic, staff were all happy & obliging, we will definitily recommend this cafe
We have been going to The Fishmongers Wife since it opened here 10 years ago. It is just across the toad from us so we are spoiled!!!
The food is consistently very good quality. We also commend them for their excellent, friendly
service at all times!! To dine in or take away, it is never disappointing, always top quality.......
First time at Fishmongers Wife. Found out they had just moved into Hawthorne premises on 13th March, lovely modern timber booths and tables.
Whiting and Salmon was fabulous served with salad of choice from menu and chips were very fresh and crisp
Our waiter was very personable and attentive.
Will definately go again
Loved it food delicious. My daughter is on a gluten free diet and is thrilled with the salt and pepper calamari and chips.
The best ever Gluten Free seafood I have tasted and the service is great.
Sensational fish and beer battered chips, and everything else on the menu we’ve tried! �
Beautifully cooked fish & chips - nicey but pricey
My husband and I dropped in for takeaway on a Sunday evening and ordered grilled salmon, crumbed barramundi (Japanese panko crumbs), chips and a green papaya salad. Everything was really delicious and the fish was cooked to perfection! The only reason I am marking it down is because it was expensive in relation to the size of the portions (small).
Some of the best Fish & Chips in Brisbane. Always fresh, crumbed calamari is a must. Fish is ALWAYS FRESH, dining room is nice in their new location. Definitely be back.
Bit upmarket from your normal fish & chop shop, or a very casual restaurant. Either way, the food my wife and I had last night was very nice. I'm glad there is a deal on though (second meal half price) as it is a bit pricey. But, it is also a bit fancy and we did enjoy it.

My lunch companion (master 4 yrs old) declared that he wanted “calamawi” and asked if I knew the Fishmongers Wife.
I did.
Plenty of street parking nearby, we arrived at around 11.45am (15 minutes before restaurant opening time).
There’s a lovely clean rest room around the back so we used that, washed our hands and waited out front.
The very friendly hostess greeted us warmly and invited us in.
Cool, air conditioned and with simple comfortable furniture we settled into a corner table.
Fantastic free activity pack was immediately provide to Master4, along with water and menus. I was asked if I needed the gluten free menu and almost fainted!!
I did and there’s a great range of options.
The hostess actually asks every table which is just wonderful and something I e never experienced an where else.
Licenced but we stuck with water.
Kids meals are proper food in smaller portions.
My gluten free calamari were sensational.
Chips were crunchy and freshly cooked.
Fresh salad (part of the meal), served on a separate plate for easy sharing.
Seafood beautifully cooked and served with a smile.
Fantastic!
Came here upon recommendation from a colleague and decided to try it out after watching a movie with mates. It's definitely not your usual fish and chip shop as my friend said it's a bit higher than that with a venue on the side to dine in restaurant style. We ordered the specials for the day including a coconut Thai fish curry with rice, dukkha crusted salmon and coriander barra.
All had beautiful flavours including the curry albeit some bones and fish flakes needing to be pulled out from the curry. Food was definitely fresh and delicious, decor inside was warm and welcoming including staff members. Price wise was slightly high for the portion you received though.
Went this Easter Monday. Dined in.
Partner had the Dukkha Salmon, she said it was cooked well but seasoning maybe an acquired taste. I had the snapper with beer battered chips. Â Chips were great. definitely will get takeaway. Â Probably not on a public holiday or a weekend because of the surcharge!
FOOD = 3.5
SERVICE = 3.5
AMBIENCE = 3.5
Visite this place in its new location. A cosy place and great staff, welcome with a smile. The fish and other seafood is great here. Fresh ingredients and good choices. Good serves as well. Good presentation. A great thing abouy this place, is that it caters well for people with food intolerances really well. A little pricey overall, but great place to enjoy a good feed.
We love this place. Fantastic atmosphere. It's so fresh and all the meals have been fantastic! We've dined in and had take away and have never been disappointed. The prices are fantastic and service is fabulous. Definitely recommend !
I'm one of those poor sods who lacks skills in digesting gluten, so it really excited me to hear about this place. I thought fish & chips were a long gone pipe dream for me but this place makes it happen. The gluten free batter on the fish is light, crisp and delicious, and the chips are pretty great as well. Go for the aioli dip, super garlicky and smooth, mmm!
Awesome! Not only do they have genuine gluten free options (ie separated kitchen) but they gave our kids activity packs when we arrived to keep them busy until the food arrived. And when it did, wow!! Awesome meals, awesome service, great experience.
We got take away fish, chips and salad. All I can say is yum, yum, yum! The perfect way to enjoy a Friday night. We added a beer with our meals which teamed perfectly with the fish.
As far as fish and chips go, this is one of the better places I have tried in Brisbane. We opted for the take out menu, but the restaurant actually looked quite nice for what you would expect at a fish and chip place. I was intrigued by the pre-marinated fish options on the menu, and as per a recommendation I tried the Tahitian Lime Coconut Cream Snapper, but found it to be a bit dry and lacklustre. However, I could not go past the beer-battered chips and scallops, and would revisit for these alone if I were in the area.
I was dragged to The Fishmonger's Wife mostly against my will after several months of my housemate's suggestions. We ordered the Tahitian lime and coconut snapper, battered cod, calamari rings and beer-battered chips. The cod, calamari and chips were good, but not greatly beyond my expectations. However the snapper had a delicious sweet and spicy flavour and great texture and I would definitely order it again. Although the prices are slightly above normal takeaways, I would definitely recommend The Fishmonger's Wife if you're looking to add some more flair to your usual fish and chips.
We are regulars here and is a great place for fish and chips. Heaps of menu options and always quick service and tasty meals. The seafood baskets are great and will no doubt be back here again

We tried Fishmonger's Wife for the first time tonight after driving past it for many years. We were surprised to find they had seating both indoors and out. As we hadn't dressed up we stayed outside. It was fully undercover and as it is at the back (not on Wynnum Rd side) there were no traffic fumes or noise. I ordered the wattleseed crumbed cod with Greek salad. I couldn't taste the wattleseed but it was a delicious meal and the salad was lovely (except for the raw onion but apparently some people like it). The meal came on proper plates and with proper cutlery too - always a bonus.
This place is more expensive than some other fish and chip shops but it does depend what you ordered. There were some great sounding marinated fish dishes but it was $25 for the fish, chips and salad and considering we were outside at a stainless steel table that did seem like too much but I'd be happy to pay this next time if we sit inside. As it was my cod and salad was $18.85.
Staff were friendly and service was fast. I look forward to returning and introducing others to this gem in the suburbs.
Have ordered takeaway a few times here and have always been pleased with the meal and service. Crumbed seafood basket is really tasty. Would recommend to any fish n chip lover.
Some of the best fish and chips around! While more expensive than most fish and chip shops the quality is much higher. They do have lunch specials for $10 as well which is great.
I've gotten take away from here a few times. The quality is always consistently good. This time, I ordered crumbed whiting with beer battered chips, a wedge of lemon and free sauce (2 small pots). I chose the aoli. The serving is generous. The fish came in smallish crumbed fillets (5 in total) which I thought was very good value. The chips were also a delight, especially when I added the aoli sauce.
The only reason I have rated this a 4 and not a 5 is I feel the price $17 for fish and chips is a bit on the steep side. That said, the beer battered chips were $1 extra. So, I guess if one wanted to save a bit of coin you could order the cheaper fish offerings. The whiting was kind of mid-range. And you could skip to beer battered chips and simply have regular chips.
Consistently YUM! Choose between grilled, crumbed or battered (includes GF option) plus a great range of marinated options like Tahitian coconut fish! Japanese beer battered chips come as a hefty portion in the Gourmet Pack. Best thing is a choice of fresh salads like a Thai green papaya, pumpkin & spinach & traditional Greek
I have had some of the best seafood I've had in Brisbane here! Not only do they do the typical crumbed or fried fish (which is delicious) they also do fresh seafoods such as their salmon patties, prawns and other yummy options. I have never had a bad meal and whenever I've eaten her service was relatively fast. Parking can be a bit tricky if it busy and some may struggle to find a park but it is certainly worth the search. There is both inside and outside seating options, but very clean with the odd occasion of nature intervening. All in all a great place to go to!
Really like the chips and calamari here. The beer battered chips are definitely the way to go. Don't like the silver scales they leave on the fish though. Outlet is very busy despite being very overpriced. Parking is difficult. Be prepared to wait.
We went here for dinner tonight with our coeliac daughter. We were impressed with the great gluten free food! The rest of us loved our non gluten free fish and chips as well, and the deserts were a great finish to the meal. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Overall it was a great dining experience.
Brilliant Funky Fish and Chip Cafe. This is not your standard fish and chips. This is the place for spending a few dollars more and actually getting fresh fish, not that dried up imported frozen stuff. They also have the best beer battered chips in Brisso. Casual dining at its best. Always busy. LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE GUYS!!
A tad pricey. There were two dishes on their menu that I absolutely loved till they changed them about a year ago. Pesto Barra and Dukkah Salmon. Both are no longer avail which is a shame cause both we're worth the price. now it feels a little over priced for just the salmon, which is still great, but missing that point of difference from other places that do salmon. The Beer battered chips, Sweet Potato Salad and Greek Salads are also amazing however it would be nice to have a little more given the price.
Good food. A bit cheeky charging a 10% surcharge on Sundays. Rather not open on a Sunday if thats the case.
May be a little overpriced but the fish and chips one of the best in brissy. Most of the fish n chips have the fishy taste from the skin but this one doesnt. Very nice beer battered chips. desserts are OK only too. But I have to add that service is AMAZING. :)
Best Battered Barra In Brisbane. The food here is amazing I absolutely LOVE the battered barra it is cooked to perfection... it is rare to find a fish and chip shop that does not overcook its fish well look no further this place knows how to make seriously good food! Brilliant!
I frequent this place and have never had a bad experience both eat in and takeaway. Staff friendly, food lovely - cant complain though don't expect a cheap meal.
Good fish and chips. Always delivers good quality fish and chips a level above the average fish and chip shop thus the slightly more expensive prices.
Offers a good range of flavored fish options.
The Devourer Of Food
+4.5
Yes it is a fish and chip shop not a 3 star Michelin restaurant. Meal portions are large, fish cooked well and variety are plenty. They serve more that the usual fare of fish ... things like wattleseed cod, coconut lime barra and teriyaki salmon, which is such a good spin yo the boring ole f&c. Not that there is anything wrong with the ole f&c. Sure you pay a few extra moolah for it but it is worth it to eat well and enjoy something a bit more than the average. Also try the sticky date pudding that ... definitely worth getting diabetes for ...
Lucky Wife. Love it here for an early Sunday night dinner - fish quality is impeccable, great chips, beautiful Greek salad and loads of options. Possibly on pricey side but they are allowed to do that when it is this good. Also cater well for kids with food and providing drawing stuff etc - staff very friendly
Just had an awesome crumbed fish burger and ginger beers
Not too shabby. Listening to the tourist blurb you could be forgiven for thinking that you will find good local seafood in Brisbane. Nothing coud be further from the truth. awful frozen imported cardboard, charging for little plastic tubs of sauce, extortion at the till, no service, plastic knives and forks, should I go on....
Well the GOOD news is the fishmonger's wife is not one of the above. Most of the seafood is fresh (frozen imports are identified), battered chips may not be best for my health but sure taste good, also interesting use of bush tucker. A bit over-priced but they are on the right track. Can't recall what the corkage charge is.
Good. Nicest fish and chips place I have found so far
Yum!!. After reading the last couple of reviews, I was a bit worried when the bf suggested we eat here. However I was very pleasantly surprised! we shared the Lemongrass Snapper, Teryiaki Salmon, some chips, and some calamari. It was a huge feed, all up came to about $50. At $25 each, it seemed like fair value to me. The fresh was very fresh, the lemongrass quite a zingy flavour. Calamari was very tender. You get what you pay for, so if you want fresh aussie fish pay extra and come here.
Fishmongers is really taking a drumming on urbanspoon! I just don't get it, been having delicious battered cod and beer battered chips for less than $12 most weeks for the past few years and they haven't missed a beat in it being such a great tasty treat! In my world fishmongers rocks!!!
Fish N Chips. Went with a group of friends on a thursday night and the fish was cooked really well. Honestly, though the chips were hot, fluffy and crispy. Heaven!
I just love this place staff are really friendly and food is always tasty, lemongrass snapper and beer batter chips yummmmm'
Really Good.. Possibly the best fish and chips in Brisbane.
Victoria says:. We have been there once. It has won so many awards. You can get battered barramundi and flake. It's really good.
The beer-battered chips are the best!!
I think this is definitely Brisbane's best Fish 'n Chips! The staff are great, the place is busy so the food is always fresh and quick turnover too. Try the lemongrass snapper + beer-battered chips or even the crispy skinned teriyaki salmon cooked to perfection. BYO and no corkage just seal the deal for a fast, tasty and affordable night out (or in)!
Best meals tried were the various ranges of fish with gluten free batter and pesto crumbed barramundi. For those who can handle garlic – the prawns are a highlight on the menu and packed with flavour. While I love dining at Fishmonger’s Wife (and will continue to enjoy their great food as a frequent visitor), the dining area is slightly small and there isn’t a comprehensive drinks menu compared to other Brisbane restaurants. However, it is a fish and chip shop and the food and service are well worth the visit.
Beautiful fish and calamari, the pack for 2 fed our little family of 4 , definitely will be back again đź‘Ś
Dine-in experience
We had a wonderful dine in experience here - the seafood is cooked, seasoned and presented beautifully. We loved the salt, pepper & garlic calamari and the Tahitian lime & coconut marinated griller snapper was amazing. It is a little pricey - but it is a step up in quality from your average fish & chip shop. The staff here are super friendly and BYO for $3 per head is a bonus!

Beautifully cooked fish & chips - nicey but pricey

Everything was really delicious and the fish was cooked to perfection! The only reason I am marking it down is because it was expensive in relation to the size of the portions (small).
My first experience eating at the Fishmonger's Wife. We enjoyed the fact it's situated in the Hawthorne eatery hub but off busy Hawthorne Rd. On a winter's day we chose a warming sunny table location. My grilled snapper was very nice. Licensed venue also a bonus. Service was friendly and efficient. I'd definitely enjoy returning.
Despite them apologising for being short staffed, the service was still prompt and delicious!
The atmosphere is casual and welcoming , we thoroughly enjoyed the meal and we also recommend the Calamari and Papaya Salad!
Definitely a spot we will visit again and again
Fresh, Crispy, Tasty. đź’Ą
Always a pleasure coming here for dine in or takeaway. Short and sweet because it meets your expectations for what you need in a good fish and chip shop.
Best fish & chips in town, and has gluten free option
