Yes, when in Rome and all that!

So no doubt some of the posters on here only eat bush tucker?

I'd rather live in Spain than Gib. As soon as you cross the border the prices halve.

A fish & chip shop in Beaconsfield does "proper" chips! They do really nice burgers there too.

When going for fish, my choice here is usually Blue Grenadier as it's quite mild in taste. If not, then Barramundi. I definitely wouldn't pay $15 for atlantic cod/plaice/haddock - just don't see the point when I can get perfectly good fish for about $5 from a fish & chip shop.

Malt vinegar on the other hand would be nice to find at a chippy, if they have vinegar at a chip shop here it's white vinegar.

Seems everyone is arguing over what flavour of sh@t to eat.

I have fish and chips now n again but it's hardly something I could eat even weekly, like all fried and fast food it is essentially crap on a plate.

Carting endangered species half way around the world to be dunked in batter and blast fried seems a bit unethical

Can't believe how much you all seem to be pining for tosh like this when there is so much local better, fresher, tastier and healthier grub to try?

Um, almost all of us don't rate the idea

"you all seem to be pining for tosh"

I think, if you read the thread, you'll find that you just invented that conclusion. Presumably to make your horse just that little bit higher.

you must like frozen chips then. all most all takeaway food on the "peninsula" is over priced crap.

Maybe I do. Or maybe I don't. But I've not had any problem finding decent chips around here. They taste a lot better than the crap I was subjected to in London. And cheap as chips too.

Mornington is in need of a good chip shop we wish you well.by the way this site can be quite negative at times. BE = large pinch of salt.

I'm loving the irony

If it were available in Perth I'd buy it. I miss cod. I like the big flakes.

Snapper OK, not as good though and you need to be a millionaire to eat dhufish and baldchin groper.

I smell more than fish that's been shipped half way around the world!

Yeah, more like an advertisement.

O.K I'll admit it all We were at 'Chumley Warners' today in Birkdale AND we paid $15 for the poor overfished imported Cod .....plus heaps of big squashy chips, some Tango drinks and a pickled wally

But in my defense we WERE having an impromptu kind of a 'Pommy Day' We watched Morris Dancing before going to the British Shop (adjacent to CW's) where we bought Jelly Tots, Quavers, Adanms Broadside and Fudge. They had Radio 2 streamed from the Internet playing too!

Get your Demographics right and you could be onto a big something business wise CW's was heaving today .....in a good way lol!

Can you buy barramundi in the UK?
