Fish 'n Chips at Lady Baron!

[Guest]

The hotel takes it name from the tiny village of Lady Baron at the Southern tip of Flinders Island.
A population of just a hundred or two, many of whom are fishermen who as you see are a laid back lot.

But their fresh fish and chips at $24 are to die for - it goes down pretty well with a glass or two of Victorian Bitter!

Ah, now there you have it, Alf ...
A hard earned thirst needs a big cold beer
and the best cold beer is Victoria Bitter

Now you just gotta watch this ad - it's the brew that makes us Aussies such good cricketers!

Looks good enough to eat.

Trust me, Darren!

And in Tartare sauce to boot, young Ed !

I love the way they've used a scallop shell for the tartare sauce. Looks very tasty but I suspect not much room for something sweet afterwards!

Thanks Amanda for reminding me how to spell tartare
And you're right, I had to knock back the sticky date pudding with pink brandy sauce, a meal in itself!

But where's the mushy peas? And what are those leaves doing on the plate? I'd send it back!

And just to tease the palate further, the fish is deep-fried in beer batter too, mate!

This isn't an Adelaide pie cart, Stephen !

Hold the Tartare Sauce - Hate the stuff. But that Beer Batter looks the Real Deal.

Stephen - "Mushy Peas"! How could you!

VB is a fine beer - Not up there with West End or Coopers, but a fine beer.

Like Katisha, it's an acquired taste ...

Having just replied to Mark's Fish &Chips post and now reading about your Cottage Pie (luv Cottage Pie!) - I am STARVING!
Neil is in the kitchen conjuring up his masterpiece of Seafood Pizza so this reply will be short as I now have to go and urge him to work faster!

Well Lyn, I'm sure Neil's Pizza Marinara is quite nice but if he aspires
to Cordon Bleu status then I will be happy to share my recipe ...






Now that is a Pizza Marinara, Lyn !

Sorry - not even close to our production. Broad Beans? Yuk.
And we make our bread by hand - not in a machine.

Now of that I am sure, but no need to apologise.

And we make our bread by hand - not in a machine.

And I bet you do your laundry by hand also, boiling the copper, putting your sheets through the mangle, Ricketts Blue in the rinsing water to make them look white ... yeah, they were the good old days weren't they. Welcome to the new Millennium, Lyn!

Re: Fish 'n Chips at Lady Baron!

Ah, fish and chips! Those look almost as good as the ones we get in England.

With a diet like that it's no wonder that you Aussies are giving our cricketers a battering in the Ashes and putting us back in our plaice. We're staring to flounder and it looks like we've had our chips for this series but hopefully we can net a few more runs as our batsmen are dab hands and never give up tope. But if we do lose, next year we will be angling for revenge!
