Archie's Fish and Chips

Where: 7 Barlyn Road, Mount Waverley, Vic, Australia
When: Friday 24th June, 2011, Dinner
Occasion: Friday night on the couch
Wine: Hunters Hill Chardonnay

After recently moving into the area, Andrew and I have been looking for a new fish and chip spot. A first we tried a few ourselves, then decided to ask a few of the locals for where to find the best. It was the Smiths who put us onto Archie and his fabulous fish and chips. Although we often only just get there before the 8:30pm closing time on a Friday, we always leave happy. Archie has won Andrew over as he makes his own calamari and crumbs it in a herb batter. The prawns are done the same. Without asking, Archie even understands the need for chicken salt on some things and not on others! For about $25 we can go all out, having 2 pieces of fish, 2 prawns, 4 calimari, 4 potato cakes, 2 dim sims and a minimum chips with lemon and tartars sauce. Add a bottle of white wine and the footy and you have a fabulous night on the couch!
