Morgan’s Fish Market & Takeaway is a long loved local favourite serving up fresh Queensland seafood. This family-run establishment is so popular that they’ve recently opened up their second location (Morgan’s Fish Bar) in West Mackay. Their North Mackay store is just a five minute drive from the water’s edge, so it’s the perfect place to order your fish and chips if you’re looking to eat with a view of the ocean. Check out their catch of the day fresh fish to decide what you’d like grilled for dinner, and grab it alongside some crispy hot chips or Moreton Bay bugs. You won’t find fresher seafood than at Morgan’s Fish Bar & Market, as everything is caught within Queensland. If you don’t want to eat in store or grab takeaway, buy some fresh fish to take home with you to cook up yourself.
