New Farm Seafood

New Farm Seafood combines a fresh seafood market with a relaxed alfresco kitchen at Merthyr Village in New Farm. The retail side focuses on seafood from Australian and New Zealand waters, with locally sourced produce, line-caught fish and a changing selection of fresh items for cooking at home. Fish, prawns, oysters, lobster and bugs are among the types of seafood associated with the market.

The kitchen provides a casual setting for cooked seafood, with dine-in and takeaway available. The offering includes familiar fish and chips alongside seafood rolls, shellfish and other simply prepared choices. Sushi and sashimi are also part of the venue’s seafood focus, giving the menu a broader Japanese influence alongside its market-style cooking.

Alfresco seating gives the restaurant an informal, open-air character suited to an easy lunch, relaxed dinner or takeaway meal. The setting is practical rather than formal, with the market and kitchen operating side by side. Diners can settle in for a cooked seafood meal, while households can select fresh produce for a meal prepared elsewhere.

The venue’s connection to the seafood trade is reflected in its emphasis on freshness, careful sourcing and straightforward preparation. It suits seafood shoppers looking for ingredients, diners wanting a casual meal and families seeking familiar takeaway options. The relaxed format also works for visitors exploring New Farm, as well as Gold Coast guests making a food-focused stop in Brisbane.

New Farm Seafood is a useful choice for anyone who prefers seafood to be the central focus of a meal, whether that means a plate of cooked fish, fresh shellfish, sushi and sashimi or market produce to take home. The combination of retail shopping, alfresco dining and takeaway makes it flexible for different occasions without moving away from its core seafood identity.
