Photo of the week: fish and chips @ Sea Salt, Degraves St Melbourne


We used to love coming here, definitely some of the best fish and chips in the city and great value, too. For under $20 you could get a 'For Two Pack' which was a very generous portion of fish, chips, a potato cake, nice salad and some tartare and lemon. In the picture above we added (because we're greedy) crab sticks and a dim sim but the meal is definitely big enough on its own.

The fish and other goodies are always well fried and golden, the chips are lovely and crispy but fluffy on the inside and you can help yourself to various condiments and the all important chicken salt. I've also tried the sushi and can say that it's definitely decent and very cheap if you get it in the evening after they mark it down. The service is also friendly and warm.

However, prices have gone up a bit late, the For Two Pack is now $24.90, which although still decently priced, is a big jump. It would also be remiss of me not to mention that the last time we ate here, both M and I felt ill afterwards. It may have been an anomaly and the seafood certainly tasted fine (the most likely candidate for the cause was probably the tartare as anything mayonaise-y that's not refrigerated properly can turn very quickly) but we both felt quite unwell after eating here. The previous times we had eaten there wasn't a problem. Since that last time though, we've played it safe and gone elsewhere for our fnc fix, our favourite in the city being Somethin' Fishy.
