At a glance
NQ Prawn Cutlets is a seafood shop and takeaway at 5 Elphinstone Cl, Portsmith, serving retail customers, gatherings and wholesale clients. The business focuses on seafood sourced through the local market, with prawns, oysters, mud crabs and fish among the main offerings. The selection includes locally caught seafood, with availability shaped by the catch and market supply.
Prawns are a central part of the range, alongside whole seafood and ingredients suited to home meals, celebrations and shared tables. Mud crabs are sourced from North Queensland waterways and coastal regions, while the fish selection includes the catch of the day. Seasonal specials provide another way to shop across the changing seafood range.
The venue also includes Wendy’s Takeaway, an in-house fish and chip shop offering cooked fish and chips. This gives the business two distinct functions: a seafood counter for fresh purchases and a takeaway option for a prepared meal. The format suits customers collecting seafood to cook at home as well as those seeking a straightforward takeaway meal in Cairns.
Platters and packs are prepared for gatherings and can bring together prawns, oysters and Moreton Bay bugs, with lemon wedges and tartare sauce included with the platter offering. Advance orders are encouraged for larger occasions and seasonal celebrations, including Christmas, Easter and Australia Day. The same service is useful for family occasions, entertaining and catering requirements.
Wholesale services extend the seafood supply to restaurants, markets and catering businesses. For home shoppers, the Portsmith location offers a practical setting for buying fresh seafood, arranging platters or picking up takeaway fish and chips. NQ Prawn Cutlets is best suited to seafood-focused meals, shared occasions and customers looking for a mix of fresh retail and cooked takeaway options.
