About Burleigh Heads Fishmongers

A breezy James Street fixture serving pristine coastal catches fried or grilled to order. Beachgoers treat this hole-in-the-wall as an essential post-surf ritual, swapping generic takeaway fillets for sweet dory, meaty snapper, or red emperor paired with crunchy potato scallops. Fresh shucked oysters and sashimi share counter space with boxes of Moreton Bay bugs, prawns, and golden chips—ready to unpack right on Burleigh sand.

  • Species-Specific Fish & Sashimi: Guests select specific catches like flathead, goldband snapper, and dory alongside raw oysters and sliced sashimi.
  • Beachside Takeaway Packs: Crisp, non-greasy chips, potato scallops, and fried fillets boxed hot for a stroll straight to the sand.
  • Fresh Prawns & Moreton Bay Bugs: Shared boxes feature prawns, Moreton Bay bugs, and battered calamari rings paired with house tartare sauce.

The Burleigh Heads Fishmongers Advantage

Why locals and beachgoers rely on Burleigh Heads Fishmongers for fresh seafood done right.

  • Crispy, Non-Greasy Golden Cooking

    Cooked to order so battered and grilled fish remains crisp on the outside and flaky inside without being greasy.

    The fish was perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside—and you can tell it’s super fresh. The chips were golden, crunchy and not greasy at all

  • Dedicated Fish Species Selection

    Patrons choose between specialized species like flathead, snapper, dory, and cod rather than a standard single fillet.

    Personally I preferred the delicate sweeter serving of flathead but companion was very happy with their meatier serving of snapper.

  • Burleigh Beachfront Takeaway Packs

    Ideally located for grabbing hot takeaway packs to eat right on the sand after outdoor surf sessions.

    Highly recommend grabbing a takeaway box and walking down to the beach to enjoy it!
