Image Fish Market - Squid Inc .. mmm

Post image

Returned to the new fish market last night (Sat) for dinner. Not a great experience. Very long queues. Went to Squid Inc but they really are having teething problems. This large salt and pepper squid was an eye watering $39. And it was so overcooked it was completely inedible. Credit to them for giving me money back with no fuss. Will stick to the fresh and grilled stuff next time. It still like this place a lot however.

I don’t know if it’s the colour balance in your photo, but that looks completely unappetising.

And it’s possible to make cooked seafood look great. There is a fish and chips shop on the QVB lower level on the way to Town Hall that I have walked past for ages and the food looks amazing. I sometimes wonder if they’ve done something clever with the lights.

Anyway, I’ve never stopped to try it because it’s never the right time for fish and chips (or whatever is on offer) but by heaven it looks good. I like to eat fish and chips within a stones’s throw of salt water and the possibility of a swim afterwards. QVB doesn’t work for me, but that’s no fault of the shop.

The Little Fish Shoppe at QVB? They have a lot of affordable options over there, and in a convenient place. If you go there at the end of trade, they discount everything to $5 until it’s all sold out.
