Paper Fish South Bank

Amazing fish, best I’ve had in ages. And the chips, banging. Four happy super full diners and a beer too for $50 makes the experience even better. Got to assume if your from Brisbane you already know it; if you’re visiting, well worth hunting down - located nice n close to the river too. Sorry for the average photo, we’d already dug right in. Spot on!!

Our first visit on Australia Day, the atmosphere was odd due to no music making the place feel very unwelcoming and a little like we had intruded. We had calamari and chips. Sadly very dry and to purchase a very small sauce is $1.50! Insane. Despite the cost we purchased a tartare sauce, disappointed it was not made on site. Something you expect from a fish and chip restaurant. Chips were heavily seasoned and a bit much considering the lack of seasoning on the calamari. I love spice but the balance was way out. Potential for a great fish and chip stop but they aren’t hitting the expectation yet. Will wait a good 6 months before revisiting. A few bugs to be ironed out in service as well.

I ordered the blue (grenadier) fish dish for 2 fora$29. Good value. It came with calamari, chips, salad of your choice (3 to choose from) and a (mashed) potato scallop. The calamari was nice. And the chips are spiced. The fish was neither good or bad. It was very underwhelming and not particularly fresh. I don't think it was good enough. There are some better fish n chippies in Brisbane.
