Beautiful service at this small neighbourhood fish and chip shop. The cod & chips were golden & light, not at all greasy. Garden salad was freshly prepared with a good selection of produce

WonderFish = Wonderful prices!. This cute little shop has a great selection of inexpensive burgers, sandwiches and of course, fish & chips. Everything cooked fresh and in ample sizes, this place is great value and worth checking out!

After exploring the suburb of Graceville, my partner and I came across WonderFish in an area of strip malls which can easily be seen when taking the train. In that it was a nice day and we wanted to have lunch outside, the tables and chairs set up in front of this shop looked cheerful and inviting. The menu was posted in the window and we couldn’t believe how inexpensive it was!

We popped inside and was greeted by a very friendly gentleman. I ordered the Bacon Burger ($6) and my partner decided to try the Fish & Chips ($8.50) which was one piece of cod in either a regular or crunchy batter. We were also happy to discover that we could use our credit card here.

Looking around the little establishment, which was absolutely spotless, there was a glass counter with fresh fillets of fish on display to purchase and take home. I thought this was a neat idea.

My partner and I headed outside, picked a table and didn’t have to wait very long for our food to be brought out. The size of my bacon burger was quite impressive! Although it didn’t come with any chips, it didn’t have to; it was pretty big. The bun was fresh and the pattie, which wasn’t homemade, fit the entire circumference of the bun. The toppings included beetroot, iceberg lettuce and tomato all generously piled high and the large pieces of bacon added to the entire burger perfectly. I have had more gourmet burgers or ones that had a bit more flavour to them, but the quality, and freshness for $6 is tough to beat!

My partner’s (regular) battered cod was a decent size and did not smell over-powering at all (a very good sign of freshness)! Served with a fair amount of chips, these were deep fried but came out hot, crisp and not dripping in oil. Very lightly salted, my partner did say they did not have as much flavour as would have hoped, but I found the flavour to be delicate and quite enjoyable. We both agreed that these had been cooked from scratch and had not been sitting around. This meal was also garnished with a bit of parsley so it is safe to say that my partner does get an intake of veggies!

All in all, we left WonderFish full, satisfied and appreciative of their good food for less money than a lot of restaurants in the neighbourhood. This was a good choice for a quick and inexpensive lunch served by friendly staff at a relaxed pace.

I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who values their money, and values good quality fresh fish. WonderFish is situated amongst other restaurants with a range of pricing and levels of formality, coffee and dessert establishments and a variety of specialty shops. This is a great destination place as we found it on a weekend and was able to spend a lot of time looking around.
