About
Fish Boy Hawthorne brings a fresh take on the classic fish and chip shop to the riverside suburb of Hawthorne in Queensland. Sitting at the intersection of a seafood restaurant and fresh food market, the venue goes well beyond the standard chippie fare, with a menu that draws regulars and visitors alike. Coral trout, pacific oysters, calamari, and hot chips all get a solid mention from those who eat here regularly, and the serving sizes leave most people satisfied.
The Greek heritage behind the kitchen comes through in the quality and care applied to each dish. Batter is done properly, chips are praised for their flavour and size, and the oysters have become something of a quiet highlight for first-timers and repeat visitors both. Owner Nick has built a reputation for genuine hospitality, making diners feel welcome whether they’ve popped in solo or arrived with a large group in tow.
Fish Boy holds a well-rated reputation on Google with a solid four-plus-star score across more than a hundred reviews, which is a reasonable indicator of consistent quality for a Hawthorne fish and chips destination. The shop is set up for dine-in and takeaway, with delivery also available for those who’d rather eat at home. Gluten-free options are on offer, and the venue is family friendly with a kids’ menu available. Alcohol and wine round out the dine-in experience nicely.
Visitors from interstate have made a point of stopping in after arriving by ferry, which says something about how quickly Fish Boy has established itself in the local dining scene. Phone ahead during busy Friday and Saturday dinner service.

I have to say this is probably the BEST fish and chips I’ve ever had. It’s good to see a good Greek fish and chip shop in our local area. Very polite and great selection of fish, I had the coral trout & fresh oysters and they were both 10/10. The kids got calamari and it was also good. Very generous chip portions and the seafood salad was fresh. I’ll be back and tell everyone if they want fish and chips the new place is Fish Boy.
Terrific seafood
We had a wonderful Friday night dinner at this newcomer to the Bulimba/Hawthorne dining scene! There are a lot of options on the menu and we enjoyed all of our selections. Big thumbs up for the pacific oysters, calamari, snapper, cod and haloumi! Our meals were cooked and presented beautifully, the prices were very reasonable and the service was friendly and efficient.
Update
We’ve been trying the items on the specials board – to date we’ve tried red emeperor, wild-caught rock cod, and king fish and they’ve been amazing!!
Came with family and friends from Sydney for a holiday at Gold Coast. My brother looked online for a restaurant in Hawthorn after reaching by a ferry and Fish Boy was the first one that caught his eye. Owner, Nick, made sure everyone was happy with what they got, (despite the variety of food restrictions and preferences our 12 people group have!) Customer service was great and everyone loved their meals. Best fish and chips we’ve had anywhere + great vegetarian options on the menu. We wish we could’ve tried the gelato and churros from their dessert section but we were too stuffed from the generous portions. Highly recommend the fish box and halloumi burger for vegetarians. As well as the beautifuly fresh Greek and seafood salad. This place is super affordable and will make sure you’re fully satisfied with your food. I’d also like to mention they have both indoor and outdoor seating, as well as a clean toilet space outside the restaurant room for your comfort. Thanks Nick for your great food and care, we’ll be telling all our friends about your restaurant!
Snuck in for a small hot chips and man I impressed. Service amazing, got some oysters to sample and also the serving size and taste are great. Some of the best hot chips I’ve had in a long time and the oysters were delish!
Will be going back!
High value! quality of the food, portion sizes and service were all 5 star! We had the family feed and ordered a ceaser salad on the side, soo tasty and so much left over, again the quality was really there including the sauce 👌plus the service was fantastic. It’s not our closest fish n Chips but we will be back! Thanks Fish Boy ✨️
After many years buying Christmas seafood at another place with big lines, I decided to give Fish Boy a go. Pre ordered online very late on the 22nd. The order was ready for pickup at 8am the next morning. Arrived Christmas Eve in the afternoon after work with one person in the line! The staff were so friendly and bought out the order in a box ready to go. Even added ice. Too good to be true!! I didn’t want to get excited until we ate it, but the quality was excellent. Oysters were fat and delicious, prawns big and tasty and the bugs were too die for. Can’t believe what a huge upgrade it was on my normal Christmas seafood experience. Calm, quick, great quality and STRESS FREE. Can’t recommend enough.
We had fish and chips at fishboy. I order coral trout crumbed and friend ordered snappper grilled with salad and chips. The snapper was cooked to perfection and the coral trout was so moist. Will be back soon to try everything else i had fomo off some the other dishes coming out.
Not the best fish and chips. Oysters were very small and kilpatrick was terrible. Worst I have ever had especially for the price. Won’t be going back. Def better places aroun
