About
Tropical Seafood & Takeaway has built a well-regarded name among Townsville locals, and with over 400 reviews behind it, it’s easy to see why regulars keep coming back to this Thuringowa Central fish and chip shop. The grilled barramundi draws particular praise, described consistently as fresh, juicy, and cooked just right. Clean oil and perfectly fried chips come up repeatedly as well, which says a lot about kitchen standards that are maintained across the board.
The shop is open for lunch and dinner and runs late-night hours, making it a genuine option when most other takeaways have closed their doors. Dine-in, takeaway, and no-contact delivery are all available, and a salad bar adds a little variety to the usual menu. There’s also a kids’ menu, so families can pull up without having to worry about options for younger diners.
The team behind the counter gets a consistent mention too. The service is warm and friendly, and there’s at least one story circulating about staff going out of their way to honour an order despite a technical mix-up at their end. That kind of goodwill matters, and it shows in how the Townsville fish and chips crowd speaks about the place. Wheelchair-accessible parking and entry are available, group visits are welcome, and the shop accepts card and contactless payments.
Phone ahead during the dinner rush to avoid any wait.

8 Reviews on “Tropical Seafood & Takeaway Townsville”
Really enjoyed the grilled fish here! It was fresh, tasty, and cooked just right – juicy and tender barra 。The flavor was simple but delicious, and the portion was just nice. Great spot if you’re craving good seafood.
$60 for 2 people and not be able to eat it due to how oily it was. Chips were terrible and scallops held so much oil my partner got sick immediately after 1. Oil was dripping from everything except the chips and we are really unhappy with this. More batter then actual food. A waste of money and we can not eat it. What a waste. We have attached photos of our experience.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Stars, Outstanding 24/7 Seafood & Roast Meals!
Being a night shift worker it’s pretty hard to get a decent takeaway meal after 8:30pm that’s not absolute rubbish. So this is big for me to write a review like this.
I’ve visited this takeaway seafood shop several times over the past week and a half, and I can honestly say it has become my new favourite spot. Now operating 24 hours i believe from Wednesday to Sunday, they’re serving up beautiful roast meals at prices that are absolutely unbelievable for the quality you get.
A special shout-out to the overnight AM cook ,her food is on a whole different level. You can genuinely taste the love she puts into every meal. The quality, consistency, and care she puts into her cooking is second to none. Every order I’ve had during her shift has been flawless. If I could give her more than five stars, I would!
The PM staff are friendly and doing a good job, but they could definitely take a page from her book, as her standard is just exceptional. Still, when she’s in the kitchen, you’re guaranteed a 5-star meal every time.
Highly recommend this place .Fantastic value, delicious food, and service that keeps me coming back.
To far gone chips couldnt be revived. Burnt normally really good chips but today not, been going there for many years but today worst burnt chips ever.
I ordered through Uber eats about 10am-ish today and got 2x potato scallops and a battered bug tail. Now I’m used to ordering food from any sort of distance from where I work and where the food is coming from; so I’m not surprised if the food isn’t piping hot… But this is a first for me to get raw deep fried food. Such a waste of a bug tail.
Just ordered. Actually pretty disappointed. Spend near on $70.00 to get this. The calamari alone cost $$22.00, to get pretty much only batter for $22 is ridiculous. Also only got 8 pieces of pawn cutlets instead of the 14 that was paid for. That will be the last time I get delivery, disappointing…!
BEST FISH IN TOWNSVILLE – This was the best fish I have had in a long time in Townsville. Oil was clean, fish was BEAUTIFUL, chips perfect. The service also amazing, such a friendly and beautiful team of people. Highly recommend, even if you have to drive some distance to get food from here. You will NOT be disappointed
Only fish and chip shop I will go to in Townsville. Team is fantastic and the food is even better.
Recently due to a technical issue our order was mistakenly refunded found out upon arrival. The team graciously still made our order for us even though they were close to closing time, we were extremely grateful. They are all so lovely highly recommend.
