We have the same problem here, can’t buy off the fisherman. It’s ridiculous.
Does sound like b/s. The San Remo Co Op down here sells fresh from the Co Op boats to Joe Public 7 days a week til 8pm. I’m heading over for a kilo of Flatty tails shortly.
Cajun crumbed flatty tails for dinner , . mmm, mm mm mm , mmm.
I was saying to a local here that it’s a pity there are no good vendors of fresh fish here, funny it being a port, and the local told me all seafood has to go to Melbourne first. Portland cops it too, so I was told.
No problems buying fresh fish in Portland, there’s plenty around.
Alan_Noonan_10: benfti:I love the humble fish and chips. But I have one steadfast rule when I comes to me choosing and it seems to rain true.
If said shop is more than 20kms from an Ocean (I know they don’t fish them out themselves) it’s likley sub par.
I’ve never tasted a decent fish and chip shop inland, all the country towns I’ve lived in had terrible, border line salmonella riddled options. Best for me have always been the ones close to the beach. I know it’s probably in my head.

I assumed it had to do with checking for size and catch limits, but it still sounds, ahem, fishy to me.

Sounds like b/s but there’s still no buying from the boats down on the wharf. The only guys who sell fish are the butcher (damn good butcher too) and IGA, but it’s a very limited range, and there are no restaurants specialising in seafood.
I live around there also. Try the place on Pascoe Vale Rd next time - the one near the cheesecake shop. Fish was good last time i went.
flatty tails for dinner
Heh - that’s what I’m having for dinner also
Grilled or battered Flake?
Grilled
ffs what is wrong with you?
Shouldn’t even be a question.
Just curious. Heard there is no real difference come calories as they smother the grilled flake in oil at most F&C

Not sure if serious… Hard to beat a good beer batter on the Noah.
Grilled or battered Flake?
Battered if its fish and chips. Pan fried in a bit of flour at home.
Ordering battered is worse offence than joining ISIS
People order grilled fish at a fnc? I always thought it was a joke, like the non alcoholic beer fridge in the Simpsons - it’s technically there as an option but no one has ever asked for it
At my local F&C its a popular choice… but to charge an extra 50c to dust some flake with flour and drizzle in oil is beyond a joke #stingy
I didn’t see any mention in the question about fish and chip shops.
Apart from the actual title of the thread…
Ah, ok.
I just responded to a question.
Reboot:Grilled

Ok - ‘Noah’ - ‘ark’ - ‘shark’ - ‘flake’?
Is it true that Noah’s wife was Joan of Ark?
Yes.
