Had the green seafood curry with rice. Awesome ! Really exceeded my expectations. Good selection of scallops, mussels, clams, fish and a grilled smokey octopus tentacle. Cooked to perfection with a lovely green curry sauce. Full of flavour but not hot to over power the delicate fish. Wife had mussel pot with broccoli. Again can’t fault it. Capers in the broccoli gave it a nice flavour. Would definitely go again when I’m here next.

First saw online a picture of a whole fish being served and told myself, definitely gotta try this. When you first arrive, you'll notice it's a relatively small restaurant but it's really cozy inside.
Ordered the whole flounder, roasted in brown butter, lemon, parsley & crispy capers with fries.
When the dish arrived, it looked really good. It's a flat fish with a thin layer of flesh, skin is nicely browned (unfortunately it's only the side up as the other side is well, not), flesh is super soft and separates easily from the bone.
A handy trick I later found out was, cut a segment/wedge from the tiny lemon and place it with the fish for a bite, that size ensures it's not too sour and blends well with the fish.
Overall, it's a unique dining experience as you don't often see restaurants serving a whole fish for one person.
On a second visit, tried the seafood thai green curry. For the price you pay, definitely a high-end mixed seafood platter served with white rice, all shell on and carefully plated. The seafood was fresh and delicious, except for one scallop where it wasn't clean thoroughly enough but otherwise everything was great.
Also, if you're the type that likes to plan your food in advance, do note that their menu changes daily, so make sure you check the website for the latest menu on the day itself.
Came here craving some seafood. Definately a must see. Being on keto diet (low carb) it can be a challenge picking food.
The flounder had such good sauce and the fish was cook perfectly too.
That and the salads had such good sauce.
The waitress was super friendly.
Excellent food and service. U get it what you paid. Lovely ambience. A bit pricy but its worth it. Fish so fresh. Excellent service from the waiter today, sorry forgot to ask ure name. Try the ladies toilet! Very nice interior.
There's the seafood, and then there's the SEAFOOD. Fishbone is definitely a SEAFOOD place with spectacular dishes. Highly recommend fisherman strew, which comes with a very fresh crab broth. Also recommend the green lipped mussels, it is the best I've ever had in my life. AMAZING PLACE!!
I was unsure at first about this place because I thought it was a fish n' chips shop, I couldn't have been further from the truth. We had a light meal by not offering lots of items. Delightfully the food was also light and fresh on the palate. The seafood chowder was very good. The cream was light and fresh, I think because of the absence of potatoes which were substituted with corn and leek. I also do not think a rue was used as a thickener. The green lipped muscles were awesome. We've had them twice this weekend at two different places and I just love them. The white wine butter sauce was superb and was used to soak thoroughly the grilled bread that was served. The nicoise inspired salad ordered by our friend was great as well. We would definitely return! Service was spot on as well!!!
As live in Sydney, I've tried various good oysters in my life, but the oysters here still surprised me with its creamy full-body ocean taste. Really a must-try!
The fishes were also good, but not like amazingly good, so just pick anyone that suits your taste.
Seafood galore! the place is popular and reservation is recommended. We had the stir fry pippies they were great! Also tried the local fish served with a salad. Overall a good and pleasant experience
...If you’re looking to sample fresh seafood, then Fishbone is the place. The menu changes daily depending on the catch and whilst the restaurant is decidedly kitschy in that ‘I will put anything fish related on the walls’ kinda way, you won’t be noticing it when a plate of freshly opened Bluff oysters is put in front of you. You might find green lipped mussels, flounder, monkfish or crayfish on the menu but if it’s just a serve of classic fish and chips you want, Fishbone will deliver on that front too....
Ordered seafood platter for 2 of us. The variety of season and different cooking ways fulfilled our night in QT. I can't believe even the toast bread is freaking fabulous but I will suggest you not to eat it too soon.
You should only order seafood but nothing else. It is absolutely valued for money
Food taste over average below excellent. Place looks cozy and decorated well with seafood things. I felt little small portion and garnish comparing with 40 dollors. Highly recommend.
Came here last minute. Extremely happy to do so. Ordered the cod entree and uni pasta. The cod was cooked to perfection with extremely crispy skin and tender flesh. The pasta was creamy but not overly heavy. It had several large pieces of dark uni. Delicious.
Yar super scrummy food, that salmon steak was insanely good and I don't even like salmon usually! I had the white fish dish seen there in the photos... Can't remember what it was called but it was really cleverly done; super fresh and delivering tastes that I have never experienced before 🤤 It was really cool to see mutton bird on the menu as I had heard a lot about it (being a bird that is only available to eat on NZ's South Island) but you'll have to go and try it for yourself.
Try the pan fried blue cod with clam chowder sauce, its awesome!
I had the cod wings as entree but was too spicy numbing the tongue to fully enjoy the mains' flavour. The tiramisu was so so..
This has to be the best seafood meal I've had in a long time. The crayfish though expensive was amazing. So tender and juicy. The Queensland prawn taco were also a hit. Even though there are thousands of kilometers between Queenstown and Queensland they still had the taste of the sea on them. The only down sides are minimal. We ordered the bread and were given plates but no knives. My crayfish could have used a finger bowl but as I say minimal criticisms.
Great food and service, interesting combination of flavours and very well prepared fishes...our absolute favorite was the fishbone salad😍
Solid seafood here, all the food we got was great. The place is a bit small but worth a visit next time in Queenstown.
My best menu is chowder
But all of foods were little bit salty😖
But it is so good seafood restaurant in QT!
Seafood dishes were nice, but dessert wasn’t good at all, so don’t get them
Unfortunately no bluff Oysters in season, salmon was very nice but I would've preferred a fillet rather than on the bone (there were lots of bones), side of rice was a average, extensive wine list and very friendly staff. Cozy inside.
