Good effort by Robe Seafood and Takeaway. Crispy and light batter, excellent chips. Just the thing on a long, solo road trip.

    The Aussies are the only others that understand fish n chips. That looks fucking superb

    Usually accompanied by Irn Bru or Vimto, rather than overpriced fruit water though, but I’ll let you off 😂

      I lived in the UK for 10 years and am married to a Scot, so I understand the similarities and differences!

      Chip game looks weak, can’t see that yellow sheen of chicken salt.

        I’ve tried and failed to find chicken salt in Europe and I’m starting to think it’s either not as good as yous say, or it’s banned 😅

          It is definitely that good. We just don’t want to share it.

          Chicken salt is delicious but not traditionally on fish and chips.

          I’d say the chips look a little dry though. Like oven chips but I could be wrong.

            Chicken salt on chips is basically mandatory in my part of Aus. No idea what you’re talking about there.

            What? It’s the only place it’s used.

            There’s nothing more traditional than chicken salt on your fish n chips chips.

          I had to look up what chicken salt is and despite what it says on Wikipedia, I’ve never seen it in the UK. However, it seems very similar to something I had in Iceland called “Kartöflukrydd”, which translates roughly as “potato spice” and can be found under a similar name through Scandinavia at least.

          MSG based seasonings are definitely not banned though. Maggi is very popular in central Europe and I think that is literally just MSG and salt.

      Fun fact: There’s two places in the world where Coca Cola is not the leading drink.

      Irn Bru outsells Coke in Scotland, and Iced Coffee outsells Coke in South Australia.

        We can include coffee? Then surely Tim Hortons sells better than coke too?

    I might be mistaken, but them chips look like they’ve got no vinegar on them?

      Chicken Salt.

      Mind you though, looking at this, I don’t see much of any Chicken Salt. Who asks for chips without chicken Salt? And if he didn’t ask, I thought chicken Salt came standard in every store that wasn’t a hipster main with herbed chips, especially in a country town like robe.

      Why on earth would you want fish and chips in actual newspaper? I hate the idea of getting that ink on my food.

      Every fish and chip shop I’ve been to either does the boxes shown or butcher’s paper.

    Doies good effort mean something different in Australia? In the US that would translate as “nice try, but not great.”

    I ask because those look amazing, just need some vinegar

      Good effort = They performed well.

      I swear Robe in SA is one of those places where it’s a 1 hour drive to the next town, across the most arid coast you could imagine. I’ve only been in the area once.
