Best Fish & Chips we've had on our Sydney/ Melbourne trip. The Shark (Flake) is fried perfectly and not 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! read more
