Jim & Sophie’s Fish & Chips

Just moved to the area a few months ago and we’ve been trying the local takeaways. The fish and chips here are the best we have found so far — good firm fresh flathead, crisp batter, and chips that looked and tasted great. Will be our local Chippie from now on.

On a lazy Sunday I decided Fish and Chips would be the most satisfying dinner option. I looked on Unilocal to find something close and appealing. While driving to the place we had chosen, we encountered a big ‘Fish and Chips’ sign and decided this was fate calling our name. It turns out fate was probably hungover from the night before and had lead us astray.
We ordered a deal consisting of two flakes, potato cakes and chips. I also asked for some onion rings, which seemed like a great idea at the time. They have no eftpos facilities, so I took a stroll five minutes down to road to the nearest ATM. The price was similar to other fish and chip shops and tartare sauce was complimentary (a plus!)
Once we arrived home to eat our fish and chips, we opened the butchers paper in which it had been wrapped. The fish and chips were soggy, covered in oil and smelt strange. Hunger got the best of me and I ate almost everything in my meal — although there were a fair few chips left over. The onion rings were terrible. Sliced onion covered in thick batter and a layer of oil. I felt about 10 kilos heavier after eating my meal. I am in no hurry to go back.
