Sometimes however, I waver and succumb to my cravings. Like last Sunday when I passed by my favourite chicken store in Box Hill and bought 5 deep fried spiced chicken wings. I had full intention of leaving 3 wings for Gaz, then the number shrunk to 2 for Gaz, and then none at all. We'll just have to keep this a secret between us, shall we? Or Gaz will be annoyed I ate something and did not leave him any.
It is not surprising then that I was looking for a decent fish and chips store on our trip to the beach two weekends before. And I did find one.
Fishtank Brighton on the main street sells fresh seafood, in addition to cooked seafood. There are grilled, fried or crumbed scallops, prawns, fish, calamari and chips, potato cakes, dimsims.
Evidently the shop is a favourite among the locals because it was full when we got there. We placed our order for a Seafood Delight $15.50 which consisted of two fishbites, king prawns, calamari, scallops and chips; and a piece of fish (Catch of the Day was Blue Grenadier) $5.90 and took a seat in the restaurant observing the buzz in the shop.
The food finally arrived about 15 minutes later but we were well rewarded by the crunchy batter on the seafood, fresh seafood and crispy chips. The quality of the seafood was very good. The batter remained crispy throughout the meal.
I really enjoyed our lunch at the Fishtank. Gaz who is not a deep fried food fanatic like me thought it was all a little too much for him towards the end of the meal but I happily gobbled down the chips he left on the plate for me.
