Seafood on Mary - Toowoomba

I believe that this restaurant in Toowoomba is the best, in fact, nowhere else compares. I had already paid for my meal with my EFTPOS card when it arrived promptly, but when I asked for vinegar, the young man behind the counter pointed to the 50 cent sachets for sale. I didn't have any cash on me and was hoping he would offer me a complimentary sachet after paying $15 for fish and chips. However, he just stared at me blankly and I left without any vinegar. I was disappointed that they didn't offer communal squeeze bottles of condiments like other places. Woolworths sells vinegar for $1 a litre, but this restaurant was asking $25 a litre. It really took away from the overall experience. Even McDonald's offers free condiments.

Hidden on Mary Street, this seafood place is worth searching for. Great range of seafoods, fresh and well-priced.

This small shop in Toowoomba has the best fish and chips around. The fish is crispy, not greasy, perfectly golden, and fresh, and they serve it with delicious lemons. The outdoor seating area has a tall wooden bench with stools, all lit up with party lights. I enjoy dining here because it's simple and stylish in a relaxed way. It's just perfect.

My friend and I had gone up to Toowoomba for the day to photograph the flowers during Toowoomba's annual flower festival. On the way back to Brisbane we decided to get something for dinner as we had had a long day, and not knowing the city, we just happened upon a small Fish and Chip shop on Mary Street. My friend ordered a piece of schnapper and chips and I ordered my favourite, John Dory and chips. We sat in the car to devour our meal and were greatly impressed with the seafood we'd bought. Both the schnapper and the dory were so fresh you could smell the freshness before we even opened our packets of food. The fish literally fell to pieces in our fingers and then just melted in our mouths as we ate. The fish was not only divine but also very reasonably priced as well.We were so surprised to find such beautifully flavoured fresh fish in a city quite a distance inland from the ocean. Neither of us have found any seafood that fresh and flavoursome in Brisbane and not even the seafood places near the shore offer such fresh fish. On speaking with our server Matt, he told me that the business is owned by a chef, and he has nothing but the best and we agree on that. Seafood on Mary's make all their own sauces as well and the sauce we had in our seafood was so creamy and tasty, I took some home for my hubby to try, and he loved it. Next time we go back to Toowoomba, we will most certainly be going back to Seafood on Mary.

I absolutely adore this restaurant! It is a fantastic spot to enjoy fresh and cooked seafood. The selection is impressive, and I am always pleased with both the quality of the food and the service provided by the staff. They are very knowledgeable and informative. The cooked menu may not be extensive, but the items offered are top-notch and delicious. The staff informed us that they make their own batter, crumbing, and sauces on-site, without using any frozen or pre-packaged ingredients. This gives their classic fish and chips a wonderful, old-school taste. Plus, everything is reasonably priced. I highly recommend this place.
