Which is the better flake?

[Shell]

Well?

 

[HomerThompson]

No question

 

[HomerThompson]

Hake also best fried.
Grilled - Blue Grenadier, Whiting, Barramundi

 

[Shell]

The best grilled flake I ever got would have been down Altona beach. Just melted in my mouth

Geelong goes alright too

You get a broader range of quality with fried - but when they get it right (fresh oil, right temperature, etc) with a nice light batter it is clearly the best.

Nothing wrong with grilled at all though from a flavour point of view.

While we are at it - what other stuff on the FNC menu do folks here go for?

I love a battered kabana. Pumpkin cakes (instead of potato) are surprisingly good. Used to love pineapple fritters but it has been a while.

I am a very boring potato cakes and steamed dim Sims. Rarely change my order.

Love the odd hamburger too. Idk why I don't get them more often from fish n chip shops they are legit fantastic

Flake, potato cake, minimum chips = happy Homer.

Never seen a pumpkin cake but it sounds ok. Sweet potato could go alright.
FNC burgers or steak sandwich usually good too.

Not a big seafood person but calamari is nice occasionally.

 

[Gralin]

Grilled flake all the way baby

 

[Chicago1]

One fried snapper or barramundi, three potato cakes, one dim sim and a pickled onion.

Steamed hams are also very tasty.

Damn you people!

Anyone recommend a good fish and chippery in South Melbourne?

Getting hard to find

 

[raskolnikov]

Fried tastes better but I usually have grilled being better for you.

I live on the Capricorn Coast. They're a dime a dozen. We also have a lot of Indians here so whenever we get take away the question is "Indian or Seafood?"

If you're even in the area, the Adelaide River roadhouse used to do a ripping battered barra. Always worth a stop coming down from Darwin!

I was once in Tibooburra for work and my workmate asked the barmaid at the pub if the seafood basket was fresh

She gave him a withering look and said ‘yeah I went down to the beach and caught it this morning’

You need to go to Queenscliff ... and sell your car for it.

 

[cats_09]

Deep fried flake

But I'll happily go the grilled option on better fillets than flake

 

[Billy ray]

Well that’s dinner tomorrow night sorted then

Calamari is a gamble. The battered ones are usually great, but always a tense moment when you're at an unfamiliar f&c and you open the bag to find those cursed crumbed things.

I don't think I've ever gotten calamari. Once I got a prawn. And of course have gotten the old crab stick but not for years and years now.


/That sounds completely dirty but there's no other way to word that sentence

I'm a vegetarian myself. But there are usually sustainable alternatives. Butterfish (mulloway) in SA. I would imagine Melbourne has a similar cheap-ish fish??

I mean I don't get flake for home and I've never really looked at alternatives at the fish and chip shop.

Will have to look next time
