Fish and chips. Victor Harbor, South Australia
Fish and chips. Victor Harbor, South Australia
I ate this meal at the end of 5 days of bushwalking AKA backpacking.
The chips and “butter fish” are accompanied by a wedge of lemon, some tartare sauce and a sprinkling of chicken salt. Also a deep fried dim sim, a calamari ring, and a battered scallop.
Including a drink (ginger beer?), it cost AUD$16.80.
Best fish and chips I ever had, Phillip Island near Melbourne. Australia knows their fish and chips. And their burgers. And their coffee. Australia’s just awesome.
If it’s the one near the San Remo bridge, I’ve been there and agree. However, the best fish and chips I’ve had was on the west coast of Scotland. Australia wins hands down with coffee, though.
Yes, it would be the one near the bridge. The one in Mornington at the end of Main St is pretty damn good too.
Ok but apparently they don't know how to spell Tartar Sauce.
I think both are correct
https://grammarist.com/usage/tartar-or-tartare/
- Tartar sauce is right
- Tartare can describe a type of fish meal AND was a French version of what we now can tartar sauce.
And you know restaurants like to make their menus as "ye olde" as possible with over the top descriptions. So referring to a century old sauce is within norms for that craziness.
You just helped me decide what to have for dinner on this miserable cold wet day. source: Am South Australian
Good stuff!
Moving to Adelaide in a couple weeks. Never saw that on my life bingo card.
that looks crazy good, especially after 5 days of backpacking.
were you backpacking in rural areas around your home or did you go a national park or something?
I used to backpack a lot, but never got around to it while I was in Australia.
It’s the first part of a 1200km route called the Heysen Trail. Here’s the website.
Mmm. Dimmies. Nicely shot too..
Thanks for saying. The photos you’ve posted on your account are much better than mine, I must say. 😊
My family and I did a 21k hike over the filming location for Mount Doom in new Zealand a few years ago. We got fish and chips for dinner afterwards as well and I think it's one of the best foods for after a long hike. That looks awesome e
Also living just a bit north of Victor Harbour you've reminded me I should go down there again soon. Haven't been for a couple of years now.
This looks incredible... I could go for chips like that right about now.
Those chips look divine... I missed out on having fish and chips at Sydney Harbour unfortunately; had plenty of good meat pies and ginger beer, though.
Is the top piece a bit burnt?
The non-chips could have been taken out of the fryer a little sooner. However they were all completely good.
