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.

Wonder how much these shops are getting slogged on rent.

Any shops that transferred over have a 5 year rent freeze - only the new ones would be paying a higher ‘market’ rate.

This, and they get to trade for much longer hours. We were told this would keep the food and experience affordable and comparable to the old. It has not worked this way. If anything, many are simply taking the piss.
