Lovely spot! FYI, I recently learned one of the most insidious sources of gluten is seasoned fries. The seasoning is adhered with gluten-containing “dust” and/or the fries are cross-contaminated in fryers (think flour-laden batters or coatings.) Hopefully restaurants will get a clue that a growing number of their clientele can’t tolerate such seemingly innocuous slip-ups.

The beaches in Melbourne often have a lot of rocks through them 🙁 I like the look of the fish and chips but a shame about the potato cake I love fried food but don’t like it when it’s too greasy!

Greasy food? No way. $35 for basically street fare? You’ll get me once but there will not be a second time. On the plus side, at least you both got to spend some time together on what looks like a fantastic day.

Not sure why they can’t be good as well but for some reason they never ever are. It looks like you had a gorgeous day.

And this must be a gem to draw you back so soon despite the renovations; I love that they have a varied menu and cater to more than just fish and chips.

Sorry to hear about your bad experience! I remember waiting in that massive line for hot fish and chips. Sounds like the place has changed a bit because the food was always delicious when I was a kid!
