Best Fish & Chips we've had on our Sydney/ Melbourne trip. The Shark (Flake) is fried perfectly and…read morenot at all greasy. Nicely fried on the outside (tempura batter) and perfectly tender on the inside. BF and I each got the $13 combo platter that comes with a piece of fish/ chips/ fried prawn dumpling/ potato cake. BF usually hates fried food but raved about the food here, especially the potato cake. The prawn dumpling is a fried shrimp dumpling that Chinese people usually steam for dim sum, I didn't expect it to be good but now I am of the mind that all shrimp dumplings should be fried like this! There are a few tables in doors but we got stuck with the lone table outside as all the inside tables were taken because of the rain. However, as luck would have it, the weather cleared up and we got the best view on the island! Great food, great views, can't go wrong with The Big Fish Cowes!

I would recommend The Fat Seagull because: 1. Food was not bad, expect to spend $25 AUD per person. I would have loved to try their signature Coat of Arms pizza (half emu, half kangaroo), but they were sold out early. Instead, we enjoyed the baramundi fish and shrimp entrees. 2. Nice, clean atmosphere. Table cloth & wine glasses kind-of place, but everyone was in casual attire. 3. You really don't have many options in the area. For some odd reason, every other restaurant on the main street was closed for business, and the ones that were opened mostly served fried food.

For a small town this restaurant does not do badly - we were in search for dinner as one does and…read moreconsidering the options on the two main streets where restaurants were most apparent this seemed the best choice. The choices are pretty straight forward - pasta or pizza - I went for the seafood linguini - and it was pretty decent considering the neighbourhood. We got seating outside - even though there were five of us and it was peak time we were lucky to get that! And they also had a pretty economical deal going that evening - I think a Tuesday and for Australian standards that was the bargain. So why 3 stars? Well firstly the seagulls. At first it's pretty cool they come up close and you are feeling closer to nature - but then they get kinda aggressive ! Scarily so - they were attacking my friend - no joke and am pretty sure plucked a few prawns off his pasta bowl. So that was strange but memorable ;) And most people at this intersection of restaurants by the coast are to be fair tourists because they want to see the penguins - and we were guiltily the same. It's cool but it would be nice to hear your own thoughts whilst you eat sometimes.

Fries need to be crispy yet still potato-y and cooked in clean oil. (You can tell!). We got a reach burger, fish and chips and kid's burger and everyone enjoyed it all. The cider and beer was fantastic as well. The service was friendly and prompt. It was a little loud with the music and chatter but it worked out.

My latest visit was with a ratbag bunch of mates whereby 15 of us all made individual orders. I opted for the salt and pepper calamari pack which came with salad and chips. I was expecting one of those lame mesclun salad with one piece of tomato and one piece of cucumber. Not the case. It was a perfect portion of shredded (!) cucumber, onion and tomato on a bed of clean spinach leaves and a punchy dressing. The calamari was real, fresh and huge! I'm talking pieces the size of your hand covered in a salt and pepper powder (not floured). All of this with the addition of a bed of golden chips below. Oh yeah! There is plenty of seating inside and out, with the outside bench seats offering a view on to the waterfront which is stunning during sunset!
