Comparing fish and chips in Sydney

Fish and chips are the next most popular foods to burgers and fast foods. It must have been the legacy of the early British and Irish settlers followed by the Greek migrants after World War II.



Manly - "W xx" street fish and chips is an icon in the area that residents and visitors frequent. Takeaway is good for families who have already reserved tables and chairs in a shady spot. Though the ala carte costs more, there are many options to choose from. The above is beer battered whiting with chips and salad.


A friend who has tried and tested all the fish and chips all over Sydney believes that the perpetually busy fish and chips in Windsor is the best. We tried the crumbed seafood basket (picture below). One serve is enough to feed a family of two or three adults. The high turnover ensures that the fish is always fresh and cooked to order. Be prepared for long wait especially during weekends.



Once in a blue moon, we like to pamper ourselves to a more leisurely meal. Many cafe restaurants in the rural north in Dural, formerly the fruit bowl of Sydney, could do crispy and light tempura or herb flavoured beer battered fish and chips too. Of course the price tag would be higher for visual appeal and enjoyment of the ambience in a lazy Saturday afternoon.
