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.

        I think both are correct

        https://grammarist.com/usage/tartar-or-tartare/

        • Tartar sauce is right
        • Tartare can describe a type of fish meal AND was a French version of what we now can tartar sauce.

        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.

      If it’s the one near the San Remo bridge, I’ve been there and agree. The best fish and chips I’ve had was on the west coast of Scotland. Australia wins hands down with coffee, though.
