The Lazy Fisherman - Toowoomba

What was once one of Toowoomba best fish and chip places appears to have dropped their game over the past couple of months. Quality of food has decreased and the store now looks uninviting and dimly lit of an evening. Needs to brighten up and pick things up again.

Worst food ever. Extremely poor quality. The oil that is used for cooking must be a million years old. It sticks and tastes like a fat guys arm pit. they just use bigger size burgers to attract customers but dont concentrate on their quality. Never visit this place if you care about your health. this place can kill you in one week if you have food there daily.

Had an early dinner here with a friend today, 4:40 PM. A friendly woman served us recommending the herbed beer batter on our $25 order of 2 fish, 6 calamari and a serve of chunky chips. The order came fairly promptly to our table in a rather large box and placed on the table that I had wiped down myself of crumbs from the previous dinners. Both having english heritage we requested vinegar which was given free of charge, unlike the tartare which would have been an extra $3.50. The calamari was lightly crumbed, nicely cooked and went well with the wedges of lemon provided. Thats where it stops, the fish was tasteless, dry, over battered, saturated in oil and had a, I've been in the freezer to long feel to it. The chips should have been called shrapnel rather than chunky, 40% of which were finger nail size, fried till they were no longer recognizable as potato. They were quite possibly the worst chips I have ever eaten. Will be looking further in Toowoomba for a good fish and chips.

In my view, this is still the place in Toowoomba which has the very best (Australian) barramundi. Coupled with beer battered chips, this is the fish'n chip shop I always return to.

Finally tried this fish & chip shop for lazy Saturday night dinner, after spending the last years driving pass this place. The food was nice but expensive. The rolls for the burgers were really fresh. Just lovely. The chips maybe thought on the expensive side, but got a lot of themSo even itself out.
