I ate this meal at the end of 5 days of bushwalking AKA backpacking.
The chips and “butter fish” are accompanied by a wedge of lemon, some tartare sauce and a sprinkling of chicken salt. Also a deep fried dim sim, a calamari ring, and a battered scallop.
Including a drink (ginger beer?), it cost AUD$16.80.
Best fish and chips I ever had, Phillip Island near Melbourne. Australia knows their fish and chips. And their burgers. And their coffee. Australia’s just awesome.
If it’s the one near the San Remo bridge, I’ve been there and agree. However, the best fish and chips I’ve had was on the west coast of Scotland. Australia wins hands down with coffee, though.
Yes, it would be the one near the bridge. The one in Mornington at the end of Main St is pretty damn good too.
Ok but apparently they don’t know how to spell Tartar Sauce.
I think both are correct
https://grammarist.com/usage/tartar-or-tartare/
And you know restaurants like to make their menus as “ye olde” as possible with over the top descriptions. So referring to a century old sauce is within norms for that craziness.
I think of “tartare” as minced raw steak with minced chives, capers, Worcestershire and raw egg.
“Sauce tartare” (sōse tarTAR) I would allow, as being French. Served avec poisson-et-frîtes.
But I think Tartare Sauce is just misspelling. Unless it’s some kind of regional Aussie thing?
EDIT: Wikipedia says Commonwealth countries often use “tartare” so I’ll relent. Must be my US bigotry.
