About The Crab Pot Woorim

Fresh fish cuts wait on ice right at the counter, ready for the fryer before you head down to the Woorim sand. An unassuming coastal outpost on Bribie Island, the kitchen swaps out standard thick pub chips for hot, skinny fries coated in house seasoning salt. Regulars grab crumbed cod, tender calamari, and potato scallops to unwrap at the foreshore picnic tables overlooking Moreton Bay. For those skipping seafood, chicken burgers on bakery rolls round out the paper-wrapped beach spread.

  • Fresh Raw Counter Display: A front refrigerated display lets you pick out cuts like cod and whiting before cooking.
  • Seasoned Thin Fries: Crisp shoestring-style fries arrive generously coated in a signature seasoned salt instead of plain pub wedges.
  • Foreshore Beach Takeaway: Seafood baskets, burgers, and dim sims pack neatly for lunch across the road at the foreshore park.

  • Refrigerated Fresh Fish Selection

  • Seasoned Thin-Cut Fries

    Unlike standard thick-cut pub chips, orders are paired with crunchy thin fries tossed in the shop's signature seasoning salt.

    Even the chips are thin McDonalds fries with the yummiest seasoning salt on it.

  • A Bribie Island Ritual

    We regularly come up to Bribie from Brisbane and a Crab Pot lunch or dinner is a must-do every time.

  • Foreshore & Beach Takeaway Dining

    Generous takeaway packs are designed to travel cleanly across the road to the beach or public foreshore park overlooking the water.

    Good quality takeaway fish and chips enjoyed at a public foreshore table, over looking Moreton bay, with views across to Moreton Island, how good is that.

  • Bakery-Fresh Burgers & Comfort Options

    Visitors seeking non-seafood comfort options get freshly made burgers featuring quality bakery rolls and tender chicken.

    One of the best burgers I've had for along time. The roll was quality from the bakery. The salad was very fresh. Chicken tender.
