Finally - a fish and chip shop in Brisbane that knows how to make a light batter! Most F&C’s in Brisbane crumb all the seafood snacks, but Boatshed does an awesome battered seafood stick, sea scallops and they even give you an option for how you have your calamari (S&P style or crumbed), your chips (super crunch, plain, gluten free or beer battered or you can get sweet potato instead) as well as your fish (battered, crumbed, grilled or gluten free). I also loved the fluffy potato scallop. Fish and Chips is a special treat so it’s important that it’s fresh and tasty when we get it. Boatshed delivered on that front and there are still lots of menu options I haven’t tried so I’ll definitely be coming back again.

I was in this establishment the other night and I found it to be quite amazing. Food tasted amazing and service was great. I think the young bloke that served me was cooper, he was a great guy with excellent service. Also, they had many gluten free options for my son and he loved it. Will definitely be coming back again.

We need gluten free crumbs and this is almost impossible to find. So pleased The Boat Shed does this. Chips were excellent as was the fish. Well worth the drive from Enoggera.

I ordered the special deal half cod and chips and potato scallop. I added a couple extra potato scallops total was $14. The lady at the register was very bright and bubbly and the cod blew me away on how good it tasted! Would definitely recommend coming back! Very wholesome small fish and chips shop!

The owner was stressed and quietly arguing at a young worker. He wasn't listening and it was obvious. It wasn't very professional. A bit rushed. My food ended up falling in the bag due to the innovative packaging. I understand the concept behind letting my food vent, but it should be covered. They used tape to seal boats with paper tops. They could save time not doing that and put the food in a tray/ paper bag.
