Red Ocean Seafood — Restaurant in Brisbane City

If you're looking for top-notch fish and chips with that old-school, home-cooked feel — look no further! This local gem is run by the most lovely husband and wife team who clearly pour their heart into every meal they serve.

The food? Fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. The fish is perfectly battered and crispy, not greasy at all, and the portions are generous. But let's talk about the hot chips — hands down the best I've ever had. Golden, crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and seasoned just right. You can tell they really know their craft.

Their burgers are next level too — juicy patties, fresh ingredients, and the kind of flavour that keeps you coming back. Everything is cooked to order, but the service is impressively fast without compromising quality.

The whole experience feels like visiting friends who just happen to be amazing cooks. Friendly smiles, genuine service, and a warm local vibe that makes you want to support them again and again.

This place is a true local treasure — do yourself a favour and try it out. You won’t be...

So I tried a cod + chips ($12.50) and Red Ocean burger ($10) and I feel like i need to explain the food star rating.

Fish - it was sooo lackluster. No flavour, basically all crumb, thin as hell. The crumb wasn't even that good, just standard bread. I thought my chicken salted chips might save it, but there was little to no salt. While they did have a good crunch, they had no flavour. It feels harsh, but I would rate that maybe 1.5/5

Chicken - interesting that the chicken is the star at a seafood restaurant. Juicy, big chicken cutlet, fresh lettuce, not overcooked bacon, could use a little more toast on the buns but that's really nitpicky. Weird to say, but come to this seafood store for its chicken burger, it's pretty good, 4/5.

Don't come here for cod & chips (maybe the other fish are better?), but come here for a pretty good...

Pretty good quality most of the time, occasionally I get chips that are not as fresh as I'd like. Reasonably priced too, especially given that these days fish & chips shops have gotten super expensive.

To the lady who gave a 1 star review because of the Uber Eats problems, the business can't do much as everything is organized through Uber Eats. Customers demand delivery, Uber Eats offers it by taking a cut from the restaurants who often couldn't feasibly provide it themselves. The drivers then take on too many deliveries (as they don't get paid much) and issues occur. I agree it sucks, but you need to take that up with Uber Eats and with people's desire to have everything delivered to them when it's often...
