Fast, fresh and full of energy? You will be after this lunch break.
There's something about fish and chips, the mere mention conjures images of childhood excursions to the beach where the treat at the end of the day would be deep-fried pieces of unrecognisable fish and big soggy chips soaked in vinegar. Oh happy days.
So when I stumbled across the little fish and chip takeaway on George St last week, I suddenly couldn't resist. Fish on George is a family-owned business in the recently established Suncorp Plaza food hall.

it's this kind of experience and keen eye for quality that makes this takeaway a little bit special.
