About Peter’s Fish Market

Pick fresh cuts straight off the iced market counter to be battered, crumbed, or grilled to order on the Gold Coast broadwater. Regulars swear by the quick fry turnarounds, tucking into crisp calamari rings and tender fish fillets while watching the trawlers roll in. Snag a communal picnic table along the water, but keep an eye on your salted chips when local seagulls start circling.

  • Cooked-to-order market counter: Choose raw catches by weight right off the counter display and have them crumbed, grilled, or battered on the spot.
  • Waterfront picnic tables: Grab a breezy bench right along the water for an informal meal straight out of the fryer.

  • Cooked-to-Order Custom Preparation

    Specific fish varieties selected by the customer are grilled or fried to precision with accompanying sides.

    picked out a fillet of Barramundi, Snapper and Whiting. Requested them grilled with a side of rice and chips. They were grilled so perfectly!!!

  • Crisp and Clean Seafood Quality

    Freshly prepared seafood yields a tender, moist interior with light breading that avoids greasy heaviness.

    Crumbed fish is not oily at all, so you can eat no matter how many fishes.

  • Unmatched Freshness Over Frozen Alternatives

    Counter-selected fresh market cuts deliver a level of quality and flavour that outshines standard frozen fish shops.

    The freshest and best fish and chips have ruined frozen fish for me everywhere!

  • Fish and Chips

    I've eaten fish & chips at countless places in a dozen countries, and this one is the actual best.

  • Calamari

    Calamari was not stringy and not over greasy, which is hard to say when it comes to fish n chips.

  • Oysters

    The oysters were so fresh and I am regretting that I only had 6.

Before you head over

Practical advice on ordering from the market, navigating peak crowds, and dining outdoors.

  • Plan Around Cooking Hours

    Hot food service begins at 11:00 AM, and lines form quickly during lunch, weekends, and holidays. Visit during off-peak windows or just as cooking begins to minimize wait times.

  • Master the Counter Order

    Pick raw fish cuts directly from the market counter priced by weight, then request them crumbed, battered, or grilled. Condiments like dipping sauces are purchased separately, and utensils are limited to small wooden sporks.

  • Prepare for Outdoor Picnic Dining

    Seating is exclusively outdoors on communal picnic tables near the water. Local wildlife and seagulls frequently target open food, so keep meals covered or opt for beach takeaway.
