Once inside, you'll see the counter isn't filled with your usual deep fried hunks of indistinguishable fish, instead there's an array of colourful salads made up of prawns and other seafood. There are also trays of scallops, crab claws, calamari, oysters and all sorts of breeds of fish marinading in Olde Fashioned's special sauces. These are available to be fried up whilst you order, though it's advisable to order ahead, as we did, so that it was packaged and ready for us when we arrived 15 minutes later. The prices are mercifully decent and service very cheery, especially considering it was the Friday night boom. Our whiting was a cracking blend of crispiness on the outside and tender flesh on the inside, while the chips were chunky and crunchy, the best mixture for any easy as pie Friday night chippie!

Apart from a fresh but otherwise undistinguished takeaway cheese-burger, I usually stick to a light-supper/pre-game sized snack, but my friend's grilled barra was so yummy I regret not ordering more. It is a cosy and bright space too, and strikes a careful balance between being cafe casual, friendly for kids, appropriate for a drink and lit to flattering perfection for date night.

Hmm something fishy indeed. I was recommended this fish and chips shop by a foodie friend. I…read morethought that meant I was in for a treat - some quality fish, some perfectly cooked chips - not too soggy, not too crispy. I bought a piece of battered snapper and a handful of chips. It was certainly edible. The fish was nicely cooked, albeit a bit slimy. The chips however were brown, like triple dipped, hanging about the cooker too long overdone. There weren't even many crunch ones or soggy ones, just brown ones. I'm also not sure if it was the overdone chips or the fish but there was an ever so slight whiff of something not quite right. I feel OK today which is a good sign all was OK but I have to say the chips let me down and I don't think I'll be going back. My sister, who picked them up, said she almost didn't go into the shop because of the way it looked. Personally I'm not so fussed about the decor but if a fish and chip shop slips on one of their two biggest sellers I wouldn't even try to justify it to my butt why it's a good idea.

The past few times I've ordered the grill pack which at $25 easily feed 2 people, with grilled calamari, scallops, prawns, octopus and fish. The also sell gluten free coated fish, prawns and calamari. The chips are hand cut in the store and are yummy. They also sell fresh sea food, but I've only tried their cooked stuff. BUT try the tartare! Rich, but homemade by owner and at 40c, an absolute steal.

This is your neighbourhood fish and chipper with a bit of the ol' sushi shop thrown in, it's in the High Street cluster of shops so you've got tooooons of options on where to get your snack on, and I'm partial to hot chips and fish cocktail and potato scallops so this place is my huckleberry. They do great rolls too, giant chicken rolls that I think are like $6 or something equally good, just don't get one that's been sitting in the sun in the display case. Fate is a fickle mistress and should not be tempted.

Not from the area I had to stick to the high street and it is pretty much lined with deep fried take away places and a Harris Farm. I saw outside tables and a coffee machine at what I thought was a little cafe so I nipped in to search out my caffeine fix. It was a fresh seafood shop / takeaway fish and chip shop / cafe. It seemed to be to be kind of an odd combination but at the same time I could see how it would work. Though it was a little smelly (being a fish shop of course) the food was fresh so it wasn't overpowering. Also there is a flower shop next door and the Lilies, Banksias and Kangaroo Paws line the shop where the indoor tables are. The fresh fish looks good. They have cuttlefish, snapper, prawns, salmon... a decent selection. To give you an idea of prices the special of the day were snapper fillets for $38.99. Take away menu is pretty comprehensive. There are of course fish and chips with a can of drink ($10.50) plus burgers, sandwiches, kids sushi ($4 for some avocado and cucumber bites) and fresh assorted seafood salads ($5.50 for a small). Coffee is Belaroma and my mocha was sweet but pretty good. The staff are friendly.

The first thing you notice when you walk in is the south side wall art - black and white illustration circle pattern with a retro design feel. It's pretty 'cool' for these parts. The dark timber table and chairs and polished (both in presentation and literally) table setting gives this restaurant an instant luxury dining feel whereas the outside seating area on the main road and side street give it more a chilled cafe feel. The menu is certainly on the fancy end of food standards. Here's my picks to give you an indication of quality: fresh oysters with a Campari and lime dressing for starters (one dozen for $36), Roast baby beetroot with Mt Vikos feta, purslane and truffle honey for entree ($17), Duck confit with frisee salad, lardons and mustard dressing for main ($28), Rocket salad with organic almonds, black pepper and lemon for sides ($8) and an "Orgy" of summer berries, crisp meringue and raspberry sorbet ($14). Oh yeah... it's a nice menu indeed. There's a comprehensive wine and beer list but you can take your own bottle of wine for $10 corkage. Coffee is so so. Breakfasts are also meant to be pretty dam fine. Staff were pleasant and efficient enough but I didn't find them overly warm. Also I'd sit looking inwards towards the restaurant as the streets outside are pretty drab.

The two that served today seemed self absorbed and arrogant. The Spring special did not have a vegetarian option and they weren't willing to substitute anything either. I am not a vego but my husband is and I always look at the options. (Only one entree was vego and no mains) I decided against the special and ordered off the a la carte menu. The spaghetti was almost $30 (special was two courses incl wine) so that seemed a lot. Two in our party ordered it and it was swimming in OIL and tasteless.... They whisked away the plates and did not ask if anyone enjoyed their meals, so it seems they don't care what you think. With average meal prices that high, I would love genuine service and generous serves of delicious food - none of that at High Street Bistro! Save the effort and go to Crows Nest :) P.S I also bought a Cudo voucher a few months ago but after multiple tries I was unable to use it before they expired. Only could be used at very specific times I guess but they weren't willing to say when that was.
