Fish and chips. Robe, South Australia.

Good effort by Robe Seafood and Takeaway. Crispy and light batter, excellent chips. Just the thing on a long, solo road trip.

The Aussies are the only others that understand fish n chips. That looks fucking superb

Usually accompanied by Irn Bru or Vimto, rather than overpriced fruit water though, but I'll let you off 😂
- Now I'm partially erect
- I lived in the UK for 10 years and am married to a Scot, so I understand the similarities and differences!
- Chip game looks weak, can’t see that yellow sheen of chicken salt.
  
  I've tried and failed to find chicken salt in Europe and I'm starting to think it's either not as good as yous say, or it's banned 😅
  
  Chicken salt is delicious but not traditionally on fish and chips.
  
  I'd say the chips look a little dry though. Like oven chips but I could be wrong.
- Fun fact: There's two places in the world where Coca Cola is not the leading drink.
  
  Irn Bru outsells Coke in Scotland, and Iced Coffee outsells Coke in South Australia.
- overpriced fruit water
  
  But I crave fermentation.
- Dandelion & Burdock is a popular drink with fish n chips in Northern UK. :)
  
  Northern *England ftfy
Wee bit light on the fish though eh?
- Depends on how much it cost. Looks like a nice light lunch if the price was right.
  
  Everything is too fucking expensive in Australia.
  
  I'd say it's alright for 4 bucks or less.
I might be mistaken, but them chips look like they've got no vinegar on them?

  Chicken Salt.
  
  Mind you though, looking at this, I don't see much of any Chicken Salt. Who asks for chips without chicken Salt? And if he didn't ask, I thought chicken Salt came standard in every store that wasn't a hipster main with herbed chips, especially in a country town like robe.
  
  Whoa. You mean I can get Chicken in a Biskit without the Biskit??
  
  I've never heard of it. Do you mean red salt, or MSG?
Remedy! I had no idea they were in Australia

I want
Needs a fried dimmy to top it off
We have it in South Africa too
Why isn't this wrapped in newspaper? Oh wait, I guess newspapers barely exist any more :(
- Why on earth would you want fish and chips in actual newspaper? I hate the idea of getting that ink on my food.
  
  Every fish and chip shop I've been to either does the boxes shown or butcher's paper.
Looks amazing! One question: is that pronounced robe or robe?
That's a good looking fish supper!
“I’ll have a kombucha.”

“Beer it is.”

“No, kom-bu-cha.”

“Be-er?”

“K, o…”

“B, e…”
Doies good effort mean something different in Australia? In the US that would translate as "nice try, but not great."

I ask because those look amazing, just need some vinegar
- Good effort = They performed well.
  
  I swear Robe in SA is one of those places where it's a 1 hour drive to the next town, across the most arid coast you could imagine. I've only been in the area once.
