Tobin Fish Tales

Tobin Fish Tales Quality, local, sustainable fish and chips + fresh seafood. Do you want to know where your seafood comes from? If it is from the local area? We can provide that!
(1)

Whether it is from a sustainable or environmentally friendly source? As established fisheries researchers, we both have a lot of knowledge we can share.. Andrew is also a commercial fisher, and fishers on our own reef line boat catch much of the fish we sell. If we haven't caught it, we know who has. We strive to provide high quality seafood, whether you want to purchase it fresh to take home, or

have us cook it for you as 'fish and chips'. For our cooked local seafood offerings, we were awarded the National WINNERS of the AUSTRALIAN FISH AND CHIP Awards in 2019! We cater for the budget conscious, as well as those who want a high grade seafood 'treat'. Come on in and ask for the 'tale' for your fish :)

Meet Meelis! ⭐
One of our junior starfish, Meelis has been a valued part of the team for years and is a familiar face to many of our regulars. Stuck on the menu?... his pick is our locally caught Tiger Prawns.

Caught by Townsville fishers and packed fresh in convenient 250g and 500g packs, they're perfect for an easy dinner, or side to your next seafood spread.

Next time you're in, grab a pack from the display fridge. Once you've tried them, you'll understand why they're Meelis' favourite!
