We love the king prawns!

We've been camping on Straddie for many years and our absolute favourite place to buy seafood is Rufus in Amity Point. They have these massive prawns there that are the sweetest mouthful you can taste - I can taste it now just thinking about them....Yes they are expensive, but I will always pay good money for a good product. They are way better than the imported crap you get from the supermarket. A bit of tangy seafood sauce, a cold beer, barefoot in the sand, watching the whales swim by and the kids playing in the dunes. My kind of holiday. Can't wait for the straddie restrictions to lift so we can come back. First stop, rufus!More

Way Over Priced but Only Place to Buy Fresh

It was cheaper to buy Straddie seafood in Capalaba as we saw places advertised lower prices when back on the main land. Very casual customer service. Very over priced for 'just off the trawler' and compared to Europe & the USA it would go out...of business within a month. Buy your seafood on the main land & bring it to the island and eat and look at the amazing view in Point Look Out.More
