About Ocean Trader Seafood

Ocean Trader Seafood doubles as a bustling wet-fish counter and a classic fryer for hot takeaway feeds. Customers routinely travel from Brisbane for the raw spread—think plump oysters, bugs, lobster, and mudcrabs packed on ice for weekend entertaining. Others stop by strictly for the fryer. The kitchen turns out crisp, golden fish and chips without a drop of excess oil, alongside thick potato scallops and generous fisherman's baskets packed with calamari, prawns, and sea scallops. Thick-cut burgers layered with classic beetroot round out the counter offerings.

  • Fresh Catch Display: Display cases stay stocked with raw oysters, Moreton Bay bugs, mudcrabs, and fresh fillets for celebratory spreads.
  • Crisp Takeaway Baskets: Flaky fish in golden batter served alongside crunchy chips, calamari, sea scallops, and hot potato scallops.
  • Counter-Style Burgers: Old-school beef burgers stacked high with beetroot, tomato, and cucumber cut right at the counter.
