Fishbone Grill - Queenstown

Ridiculously great seafood. The preparations are simple yet inspired. The menu changes a bit based on what's available locally but oh man do the chefs know...

The food was good but the service was lousy!! Over 1 hr after ordering, we still had not been served our food. When we asked our waiter why the delay, she...

This trip to Queenstown has become a gastronomic delight too. Another brilliant find. A fair sized place but with fresh fish and passionate cooking. My...

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.<br/ <br/ Ordered the whole flounder, roasted in brown butter, lemon, parsley crispy capers with fries.<br/ <br/ 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.<br/ <br/ 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.<br/ <br/ Overall, it's a unique dining experience as you don't often see restaurants serving a whole fish for one person.<br/ <br/ 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.<br/ <br/ 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.
