Fresh and Tasty Yamba King Prawns in Iluka. Had half a kg on my own. Ideal location by the pier. The lady at the shop was nice enough to put in extra seafood sauce. Will be back next time.

Loved our cooked seafood tray. 20 prawns, at least 10 oysters (we forgot to count them) and 2 moreton bay bugs served with 2 pots of seafood sauce, heaps of lemon slices and some parsley. At $45, great value and yummy.

Yummy! Really happy with all our meals purchased here & we stocked up our camp fridge with bugs to take home to the Sunshine Coast! Give the homemade sweet potato cakes a try

We came here on Tuesday 10th June, the fish was delicious, cooked to perfection and the service was great as well. All this was done with one staff member, a young lady who advised it would be a bit of a wait, she was very courteous and did an absolutely AMAZING job, while staying completely calm, she certainly deserves a pay rise

We enjoyed our lunch. Bugs were very reasonably priced at $30/kg, Sydney Rock Oysters $20 for a dozen. We had those items & cooked prawns, cooked whiting, chips & calamari. All was fresh, tasty & well cooked. The fish & chips, calamari & chips was $16. Good value for money. Great location by the marina/water. We actually went back a second day in a row for lunch as my parents came to visit & they had enjoyed their meals some years ago. Again, we all enjoyed our lunch. The second time we tried the Coffin Bay Oysters which were lovely & more prawns, whiting, calamari & chips. The wait time was around 45 minutes however we were advised before ordering this was the case. And we got whiting packs instead of the calamari packs we had ordered however one of the lady’s promptly fixed this for us. We are regular seafood eaters & we have high standards. We were not disappointed, pleasantly surprised considering the review we read before coming.
