About
Scotsman’s Fish + Chips + Burgers is a well-rated counter-service spot in Redlynch, Queensland, drawing a steady crowd for its affordable fish and chips and a menu that goes a little further than the average fish and chip shop. The standout is the battered coral trout, a local favourite that regulars order by name. Serves are generous, with portions reportedly large enough to leave leftovers that reheat surprisingly well.
The menu also features hake and chips as a core offering, and the shop has earned a quiet reputation for freshly made salads prepared with care, including black pudding on the menu, which is a rarity in this style of eatery. Affordable pricing and a clean, casual setup make it a reliable choice for families and anyone after a quick, satisfying meal. The occasional complimentary potato cake added to an order is the kind of small gesture that keeps regulars coming back.
Takeaway, delivery, and kerbside pickup are all available, making it easy to order from wherever you are in the area. The shop is family-friendly and wheelchair accessible throughout. Located near Redlynch shopping centre, it is easy to find and easy to get in and out of quickly. Recent changes to management have been noted positively, and the service is consistently described as friendly and attentive.
Phone ahead during the lunch and dinner rush, as the shop is known to get busy.

8 Reviews on “Scotsman's Fish + Chips + Burgers”
We grabbed chips and then lots of little bits and pieces and it was absolutely banging. Perfect to grab and take to the beach for a lazy dinner night. Only reason I didn’t go 5 stars is because I like more chicken salt and because I would have liked my potato cakes a bit more crispy. But I will definitely be back and definitely recommend.
Oh also some of the best fish and chip gravy I have ever had and brilliant customer service.
Best local fish and chips shop in the suburbs of Cairns. Friendly staff, clean and spacious. Good selection of family packs, sides & salads and soft drinks.
This has become one of our regular Takeaway Tuesday stops!!
Loved the black pudding and fresh salads….so rare to see this on the menu.
The staff made such good salads, all freshly made with clean and fresh ingredients. They took a lot of care with preparing everything.
Fish and chips were ok. Trout was white fish, not pink. Chips would be better in beer batter.
Still so happy that they go for quality .
Gettiing some Scottish foods was a nice treat.
I missed black pudding from Alsace, France, so it was lovely and unexpected to find it up here in a fish and chips shop!….
Maybe some music and some decorations would help for atmosphere.
Really great place for some quick fish and chips. The prices are great and the portions are quite generous! ✌️ Highly recommended if you’re in the area the staff is also friendly and nice. Easy access from the Redlynch shopping centre. It’s a truly solid and great place for some food been going there for several years now and it never disappoints. 🍟
I gave this review a one star because the burger was pretty good, otherwise the chips were not great as they were dry. I asked for crumbed prawn cutlets and they gave me battered but the batter was soggy as well as the seafood stick being rubbery and it’s not the first time I’ve been here. And the price (in my opinion) isn’t great for the food quality but the cheeseburger was good so I’m just genuinally curious as to why everything else was not great. It might have been a bad night.
**UPDATE**
The shop is Under new owners and they are lovely, kind, friendly and the food quality is alot better and tastier!!
I ordered hake and chips. Waited 20 minutes and was presented with my order. When I got home and opened the wrapping papper I found a load of chips but no fish. DO NOT TRUST THIS SHOP. CHECK INSIDE THE WRAPPING BEFORE YOU LEAVE THAT YOU HAVE WHAT YOU HAVE ORDERED! Never trust a Scotsman.
Lovely clean shop. Friendly staff. Excellent service. Always busy. Had battered coral trout last night. Was absolutely fantastic. The serving was so large there was leftovers. When reheated it was still awesome. Highly recommended.
It had been 5 years since the last lot of fish and chips I had from here and if I don’t have it for another 5 years I’ll be happy. The staff are sound but the food is poor unfortunately.
