Captain Cooks Diner - Cairns

I found Captain Cook's Diner while walking down Sheridan Street on my first evening in Cairns. There were quite a few customers, so I figured it would be worth trying. I certainly wasn't disappointed: battered Mackerel, lovely chips and a choice of salad.A perfect meal for one and very reasonably priced.

Ordered my spanish mackerel for fish and chips. You can choose salad for extra healthy meal. Would come back if I have the opportunity to visit Cairns again someday.

Delicious food, generous portions, & a very reasonable price. Fed a family of 5 for 2 days- that's how generous the portions were. Will definitely be back when next in town.

Ate here twice during our time in Cairns. Your fish is cooked to order (grilled/crumbed/battered) and you have a choice of five salads (garden, mesculin, greek, coleslaw and potato). You can eat in or take away. Price range for emperor, chips and salad under $15.

Picked up a couple of pieces of crumbed mackerel and chips. Very nicely cooked - the crumb was just right (not too thick). Good, basic fish'n'chips.
