There are other more reviewed places on trip advisor at Port Douglas that fall short. I think 2 Fish is significantly under-rated. I loved the Moreton Bay Bugs with Penang sauce. (For those in horror ... it's an Australian crustacean - think a small lobster or large prawn with a broad, flat head). Truly wonderful!!
Had a great evening. The staff was attentive & friendly, the unknown McPherson chardonnay very good and the food excellent ... especially the Morton Bay Bugs! A definite do-over!
Good fish does not need fassing . My barramundi cooked simple European style, suggested by our waiter, was excellent. Crab cakes were dissapointing. There was so much potatoes that crab was hard to find. We were told that it was chef's special recipes. To be fair , the item was taken off our bill? Service was good, but the place...

Although there were spare tables about it felt like the place was understaffed on a Friday night. Our waitress was just not upto speed and the manager had to assist throughout the evening.

For mains I chose three of the tapas items-presented beautifully on one plate and perfectly sized tastes of each. My husband chose the mussels and loved them too. We eat and...

Visited for an evening meal with the family whilst on a two week holiday - and this was THE WORST experience of the trip. The shift manager spent the entire time storming around with a face like thunder banging tables and chairs about and it was very clear from a sign on the wall that families are not welcome. The...

The seafood at "2 Fish" is just superb, as is the whole dining experience! The oysters were amazing (drooling was a result of high enjoyment, haha) and my main course of Chilli Moreton Bay Bugs was hugely satisfying and delicious. The team at "2 Fish" are on to it, efficient, attentive and very personable. Sitting outside enjoying the balmy temperature,...

The menu indicates this is an expensive place to eat, but the early deal (order before 6.30) is good at $28 for starter and main. The quality of food and service is high, and neither is lower quality for early-birders taking advantage of the deal.
