Wild Local – Modern Seafood Cafe

Ingham is home to many hidden gems, but few capture the essence of the region quite like Wild Local. More than just a seafood shop, this family-run and proudly local business has become a showcase of Hinchinbrook’s abundance. Wild Local has become a must-stop destination for travellers and a favourite for locals who know that nothing beats the taste of fresh, wild-caught North Queensland seafood.
Step inside and you’ll find the very best our region has to offer as the bountiful displays speak for themselves: gleaming fresh fillets, an extensive frozen range, and seasonal specialties that highlight the waters and coastline shaping our community. Whether you are planning a barbecue feast, a weekend dinner, or a quick family meal, Wild Local makes it easy to bring the best of the region straight to your plate.
The café side of Wild Local has become just as popular. Open seven days a week, it serves everything from classic fish and chips to wholesome meals perfect for a mid-journey stop. For those with a sweet tooth, the creamy ice cream in fantastical flavours is a highlight, while freshly roasted coffee and gourmet pantry staples make it hard to leave empty-handed.
What makes Wild Local stand out is its commitment to celebrating place as much as produce. Every item on the shelves and menu tells a story of connection to Hinchinbrook’s waterways, farms, and small producers. It is a space where food becomes more than a meal: it becomes a link to the people and landscapes that define North Queensland living.
Next time you’re in Ingham, discover Wild Local, and take home more than just seafood – take home a piece of Hinchinbrook.
