Swampdog Fish and Chips | 186 Vulture Street, SOUTH BRISBANE QLD 4101
I
used to think Friday wouldn’t be as special to me now that I'm on
maternity leave as every day is like a day off, but I've come to the
realisation that I love Fridays more than I ever have. Fridays mean
the I would have the other travel bunnie home for a solid two days,
without him having to wake up early in the morning to go to work,
even though it's only a three minutes walk down the street.
So
every Friday night, the other travel bunnie and I would do something
different to kick off the most exciting time of the week. Last
Friday, we took a nice stroll through the botanic gardens and over
the bridge, and ended up at Swampdog Fish & Chips.
Swampdog
isn't a flash eatery. From the outside, it looks like any other
ordinary take away corner shop but it's food is the type that would
make you want to go back there on a regular basis. Operating on the
motto “Good for you, good for me and good for the sea”, it's the
sustainable seafood that made this place what it is today.
Although
the former owner and chef Richard Webb said goodbye to Swampdog in
July this year, the quality of the food offered by the new owner
certainly didn't disappoint. The other travel bunnie had a tempura
dinner pack ($19) which comes
with two tempura prawn cutlets, tempura whiting with ginger prawn
mousse, tempura fish, salt and pepper calamari and chips. As for me,
I had battered whiting with chips ($12.90)
and a side of salt and pepper calamari
($3.50). Both mains were tasty and the portions were generous and if
anything, we probably ordered too much between the two of us. Even
though that bottle of organic honey cola ($4) did help us slide down
the food. Did I mention that we sat at a table under the stars with a
wood fire pot belly stove a meter away?
Swampdog
is definitely one of those places where you can visit if you're after
a quick, relaxing but decent meal. And while you're there, remember
to order a side of their divine aïoli
($2) to go with your chips.
Total
Bunnie Dollars Spent: $41.40
