About
French’s Forest Seafood and Takeaway is a fish and chip shop in Petrie, Queensland, offering a solid range of seafood and family-friendly meals for lunch and dinner. The menu covers cod, hoki, barramundi, and sea perch, alongside calamari, burgers, and a kids’ menu, making it a practical choice for families with younger children.
The cod and chips is the shop’s signature, and regulars tend to return to it for good reason. The calamari has also drawn praise, with many noting it as a highlight worth ordering. Chicken salted chips and seafood fried rice round out a menu that goes a little beyond the standard fish-and-chip fare. Dine-in and takeaway are both available, with free parking and wheelchair-accessible facilities on site.
Opinions do vary. A number of visitors describe the fish as fresh and well-cooked, while others have found the batter on the thick side or reported drier results on certain visits. Friday evenings can bring longer wait times, so phoning ahead during the dinner rush is a sensible move.
For families in Petrie looking for fish and chips with a bit of variety and room to sit down together, French’s Forest Seafood and Takeaway covers the bases. Check opening hours before you head in.

Not too bad for fish and chips. Chips are always fresh. Tried the battered fish, the batter is very thick like dagwood dog thick haha.
Would recommend the chips more than likely.
Good amount with good price and taste ok but chips were dry and potato scallops were too oily. They didn’t pack cutlery and tissues.
Ok
Since this Shop has Reopened it has gone down hill,
Over Priced Fish for the Size
My Fish was in Batter and the Batter was Burnt
The Fish lacked Flavour,
Calamari rings just 2 rings and 2 small Pieces that were of cuts,
How Terrible ,
Chips portions has also gone Down in Size
But I see your Prices have gone Up!!!!!!!!!!
Cooking Classes Needed
It’s Not that Hard
I ordered and paid for this meal at 10am this morning for pick up at 6PM My daughter has been waiting for 30 minutes for this order and now we find out that it has been sitting in the hot box all this time. NOT HAPPY, DEMAND A REFUND. my DAUGHTER ASKED 3 TIMES FOR THE ORDER AND WAS TOLD YES IT’S COMING, it was ready all the time and your staff were totally oblivios to the fact that we were waiting for a nice hot meal.
The cod, hoki, chicken salted chips and seafood fried rice my young kids and I devoured this afternoon were cooked to perfection!! Beautifully deep fried. Thank you!
Ordered 2 pieces of Barra and 1 piece of sea perch. Barra was horrible and dry and perch batter was burnt and fish was dry! Really bad I must say and we have given them a chance on several occasions. Never again!
We’ve always ordered the classic cod and chips for the family — consistently fresh and delicious every time. Lately I’ve started working my way through more of the takeaway menu and it hasn’t disappointed. The calamari is excellent, really tender and full of flavour. Looking forward to trying the burgers next! Great local takeaway with reliable quality and plenty to choose from.
Food was disappointing, chips were old and oily. Burgers were dry. Really not an enjoyable meal.
