About Sandgate Fishmonger

Directly across the Sandgate foreshore, this breezy chippy turns out crisp, non-greasy seafood with zero heavy oil. Regulars bypass average takeaway joints for tender calamari and snapper wrapped in a light batter that crunches without falling apart. Chips arrive unsalted so you can hit them with powdery chicken salt and a splash of brown or white vinegar from the counter station. Coeliacs get full run of the menu through a dedicated setup—think gluten-free fish and thick pineapple fritters dusted in cinnamon sugar—finished with scoops of gelato by the water.

  • Dedicated Gluten-Free Fryers: Dedicated preparation dishes out crisp battered fish, chips, and cinnamon-dusted pineapple fritters safely for gluten-free diets.
  • Custom Seasoning Station: Chips arrive unseasoned with self-serve tubs of chicken salt alongside both brown and white vinegars at the condiment station.
  • Foreshore Dining & Gelato: Tender calamari and crisp snapper served steps from the bay, backed by an on-site scoop counter for post-meal gelato.
