Trident Fish Bar International

Picture this:
It’s the first day of 2013. It’s sunny. Hot. Two girls jump in a convertible and head for the ocean, scarves tied around their heads and nothing on the agenda except a day of cruising around and speaking about the coming year with optimism.
They roll in to Queenscliff and one of them (played by me) says «we should get fish and chips and sit on the grass!»
They find Trident, a shop with an abundance of fresh fish and the smell of fried goodness in the air. They order and walk out 10 minutes later with a white paper parcel.
They find a spot on the grass, give the seagulls the evil eye and then unwrap the parcel…
Inside: the most awesome old school chips, $ 2 worth, that they drown in tomato sauce and eat happily. Two pieces of grilled King George Whiting, tasty but a little overcooked and dry… and then the dismal Greek Salad that at $ 6 seems exorbitant for what is a small handfull of lettuce, a couple of chucks of fetta, 5 olives and two small pieces of cucumber. Not a tomato in sight, and a distinct lack of generosity.
Not to let a dry piece of fish or a stingy salad let them down on this auspicious day, the girls fling the last of the chips to the seagulls, throw the wrapping paper in the bin and then head off to explore the streets of Queenscliff.

We live only a few doors up and this place keeps us well fed. Amazing fish and chips and other great menu items. Visit when your in town … It’s well worth it.

Grab some excellent fish and chips and head for the beach or under the trees opposite this well run fish and chip shop. I stick to the good old Aussie Flake and chips with lemon and tartare sauce. Nice thick chips and crispy batter.
