Well drained of oil?: Yes for the fish but the chips purposefully drenched in olive oil.
Satisfied?: Did it full me up? - No way haha. However, it was pleasing to the eye, nose and mouth.
Comments: In b4 saying this isn't fish and chips. In b4 saying this is a fish meal. This has two of the main components of fish and chips - fish and potato.
The potato was thick cut and oven cooked. They were cooked to perfection in olive oil and swimming in a tomato vinaigrette. I'm a sucker for snapper and this was a very thick and juicy fillet. Lightly crumbed with a lemon and thyme crust and topped with a lashing of taramosalata and some type of sprout (sorry this isn't sprout reviews, so I have no idea what that is.. alfalfa or some such). This plate was very decadent and flavoursome. V bougie. Savoured every mouthful not only due to the sophistication and subtleties of this meal but also due to the tiny portion size and high price tag. I didn't really feel comfortable taking a finger grease reading in this environment. Still hungry afterwards, we ordered a bowl of fries for desert which the rich wankers on the tables surrounding us scoffed at while drinking their buttery Chardonnay.
