The South West's Best Fish & Chips
      

Fish and Chips are still Australia's favorite summer take away food - and where ever you go in Australia you will find a fish and chip shop. The type of fish used will vary from location to location, depending on what varieties of fish are caught and also some shops will use batter and other will use breadcrumbs ( just a note here, breadcrumbs soak up more fat so even though batter sounds as if it is the less healthy option, in fact the opposite is true) and also the variety of potato's will change, producing an almost endless variety of tastes and flavours. Unlike McDonalds where the food taste exactly the same where ever you go, fish and chips will deliver a new experience with every meal you try.
Remember, cooked properly they is no such thing as bad fish and chips, so if you are a fish and chip connoisseur or just like a occasionally feed of fish and chips then the following business are our pick of the bunch for the South West of Victoria and South East of South Australia

Warrnambool Warrnambool has for some reason always had a large number of restaurants for its size and this competition has tended to make each restaurant (and take away ) work a little harder so when it comes to good Fish & Chip's, there is a large number of places to choose from, and in the majority of cases they all serve very good quality fish & chips, however there are a couple of Fish & Chip shops that do stand out from the crowd and worth seeking out. The following are some that we think are worthy of a mention - If you have a favourite then please let us know

Mortlake Rd Fish-n-Chips This little gem is tucked away on the outskirts of Warrnambool opposite the indoor Tennis centre. Spotlessly clean, good friendly service along with yummy fish and chips have helped to build a great reputation in just a few years. The fish is cooked fresh in a mouth watering beer batter and the chips are cut on the premises from real potato's which means you get those odd size end bits that go crispy crunchy when cooked, and the bits you pick out of the paper at the end of the meal. They also offer a good variety of fish including Flake, Butterfish, Blue Grenadier, Whiting and Barramundi, plus Prawns, Scallops and Calamari

Seafood's Warrnambool (pictured below) Located in the main street of Warrnambool and dating back to the 1960's, Seafood's is now the oldest Fish & Chip establishment in the city. Originally established by George Politis, the business is now run by George's son Chris, and if experience counts for anything then Seafood's has a wealth of expertise.

Seafood's also is the place to go if you want to buy fresh seafood in particular crayfish and were the main supplier of fresh seafood for many years before the establishment of the larger supermarkets. Like many of the traditional Fish & Chip shops everything is cooked fresh on the premises and they have a loyal group of customers who wouldn't go anywhere else. The only drawback for Seafood's is because they are in the center of the city, car parking can be a problem during the day, although there is a large park at the rear of Seafood's, but after about 6:00 at night you can usually find a park close by. Quality of Seafood's fish and chips very good and service is quick.

Robe Robe Seafood's has a great reputation, although the shop from the outside is not all that spectacular. However, once you go inside, you can see where its reputation comes from. The shop has a large cooking facility and is obviously designed to handle a lot of customers at times, and also the shop is spotlessly clean. Robe Seafood's also has an extensive seafood menu with crayfish, prawns, scallops and a number of other specialty items not normally found in your run of the mill fish and chip shops. The presentation and service is excellent and as for the taste you will have to judge for yourself, but very few people will be disappointed
