Cotton Tree Seafoods - Buderim

The fresh seafood at this restaurant is always consistently great! The barramundi is consistently fantastic.

You must try Cotton Tree Seafoods. It is one of the best hidden gems on the Sunshine Coast. The owner, Steve Hardgraves, who was previously a Chef at the Boatshed and See in Mooloolaba, is now joined by his brother Jason, a former chef at See. Together, they create the most incredible seafood dishes. I love going there for lunch, where Steve will personally select a big snapper, grill it to perfection, and serve it with a delicious Greek salad and homemade prawn cutlets. It is undoubtedly the best seafood lunch you could ever experience. The grilled fish is exceptional, easily on par with the best I have ever had. They also offer a wide variety of hot and cold seafood options.

During our final day on the Sunshine Coast, we took a stroll along Maroochydore beach and decided to indulge in some fish and chips. After finding a place on maps, we decided to give it a try. Despite being short staffed, the lone employee did a fantastic job managing the influx of orders that came in while we were there. Our meals arrived promptly, consisting of fresh fish, drinks, and additional sides of potato cakes and dim sims. Overall, it was a satisfying lunch that we savored while sitting in the park on a sunny day.

Do yourself a favour and enjoy a takeaway dine in meal at this Fish n Chip shop. Great choice of fresh fish cooked to perfection (we had both grilled and crumbed) not to mention the potato cakes, calamari and decent serve of chips. In addition, the owner went out of his way to track down the beach items we had left in his shop 2 days prior can’t thank him enough. Enjoy whatever you order there

We were reluctant to try this place, but we decided to give it a go …. It was really good the fish was cooked to perfection with a beautiful light batter the chips were cooked nicely too ..(even though we prefer thick chunky chips that’s preference only! … if you are in Cotton Tree don’t pass this fish and chip shop !
