I used to go here as a kid when you'd donate a goldie to the cause and you'd end up with $8 worth of chips for about 10 of you and you'd eat until you felt sick, go for a swim, come back to it three hours later and you could do it all again. Then they sold it. I don't think it was ever that good really, though.
Bluebird used to be awesome but stopped going when the new owners took over. Others are average.
The pub on the Main Street there used to do good fish and chips. I remember it had a restaurant side and a pub side. If you went to the pub side it was much cheaper for the same thing.
Haven't been to the pub for years. Will check them out next time I'm down there.
Cheers.

Was a long time ago now. Hopefully it’s still good.

In AB? I remember that pub ripping me off big time with a spaghetti marinara, there was hardly any seafood in it. Should have told them to gagfd.
Yep, Apollo Bay.

I like the Bay Leaf Cafe in AB. Is that still there?
Yep, going strong.

They do good banana pancakes.
Have yet to have a bad feed at the Bay Leaf.
George's is ok for a greasy spoon all-rounder.
The burger place is a gamble - when it's good it's really good but other times it can be shizenhousen.

Nice night ..HAPPY DAYS OUT WEST
I have a few around my area, have tried every one a few times (Fri night tradition) and found the best and most consistent. Occasionally will branch out and make sure a particular one is still s**t. Flake, 2 potato cakes and either two calamari or two steamed dimmies, depends on how I'm feeling. If I'm feeling really adventurous I might get a beef croquette or something, crazy scenes.
I miss flake and dim sims

I go grilled flake (am a convert from battered to grilled), 2 potato cakes, 3 steamed dim sims no sauce.
Occasionally I go the burger. Fish and chip shop burgers are very good.
whats the default around the country when you ask for a serve of fish n chips?
in perth where I grew up it was usually flake and battered
when I moved to qld without thinking about it came crumbed! crumbed! devastated I was
I now remember to ask for battered!
I have two places I like - tally valley fish n chips
and the fishmonger in Burleigh heads

Battered and flake seems the default option in Victoria.
I seem to be in the minority but I almost always ask for couta. Love the texture and flavour, not many other people seem to order it though because of the bones.
Couta is great. But I expect we are in the minority cos most fish and chip buyers want to engulf and not enjoy.

I really like my local guy, does a great couta but he describes it as 'old school' and a couple of weeks ago I heard him telling a customer that 'that's what our grandparents would have ordered'.Couta is great. But I expect we are in the minority cos most fish and chip buyers want to engulf and not enjoy.
