Port Albert Fish & Chip Co

Food

• Large Chips
• Fried Gummy Shark

The Good

We were thoroughly impressed by the Large Chips, with a serving so generous that it would comfortably put many sit-down establishments to shame. Their light coating produced a fantastic crunch on the outside, enclosing a beautifully soft and fluffy inner. Despite the enormous quantity, the texture remained the real attraction. These were certainly not your ordinary takeaway chips.

The Mediocre

The Fried Gummy Shark was less memorable. Fresh from the fryer, it arrived hot, suitably crisp and pleasingly free of excess grease, so the basic execution was sound. Yet the piece was disappointingly thin and rather small, particularly given the venue’s own fishing operation. With little distinctive flavour to set it apart, we were left wanting more from the fish itself.

The Bad

Nothing.

The Verdict

Port Albert Fish & Chip Co is a somewhat unusual fish and chip experience, in that the chips are undoubtedly the star. Their excellent texture and enormous serving make a strong case for stopping by during a Gippsland trip. The gummy shark, however, falls short on size and character. We would happily return for the chips, but keep expectations for the fish in check.
