THE PRAWNSTER

Brisbane's seafood hounds consistently drop anchor at this moored trawler bobbing right on the Brissie river. It’s an unapologetically rustic, purely oceanic setup—no fussy side dishes, no proper plates, just brilliant, ultra-fresh catch straight off the deck. Think pristine salmon sashimi, plump oysters, and sweet lobster devoured open-air with killer views of the city skyline. The vibe is fiercely casual and entirely focused on the haul. Pro tip: it’s a true BYO affair for accompaniments. Pack your own salads or chips, grab a prime spot on the timber, and embrace the gentle rock of the passing vessels. A brilliant, salt-kissed feast anchored right by the Botanic Gardens.
