Trident Fish Queenscliff

Recently I had been in search of some above and beyond fish and chips. This venue apparently has THE BEST in Victoria. Naturally I said I need to try it as the sign says the best. First of all, there are some MUST DO’s: Either A. call 30 minutes ahead of your order to have it ready at the time of arrival OR B. read the signage and be mindful that the wait time is 30 minutes. This is not a big ask for the best fish and chips in Melbourne. Do not say you weren’t advised as it does say so on the signage unless you are unable to read, the staff will advise you in advance which is a courtesy. They have a lot of customers at the luncheon hour. So call ahead and it’s 30 minutes till it’s ready. When I arrived it was lunch time, I put my order in for 1 fried flake and the gentlemen behind the counter suggested the local freshly caught in the morning whiting fish, to which I said I’ll have that ASWELL as the flake because, why not have both? I departed and took a nice 25 minute stroll around the neighbourhood after the man advised of the 30 minute wait. You can pop into a few of the general stores if you life. Very lovely By the time I was done having my stroll I sat down to an empty table with my partner and had a lovely Greek salad from the venue as an entree. Very fresh and tasty! Chilled perfectly. And within moments of the salad being finished I heard the boys in the store call 31(MY NUMBER I ran to fetch the beautiful fish, sat back down with my partner, opened up the parcel to find some perfectly cooked flake and whiting! Piping hot, crispy batter, lightly but perfectly salted with a side of lemon. The flavour was on point! The temperature perfect! Beautiful flake, light and delicious dripping with lemon juice! The whiting was delicious also! Fantastic job boys! Well done, keep making summer memorable for the people. This is the fish and chips I’d had as a child from many venues run by European families around Melbourne! You know that quality from 15 years ago. Perfectly cooked! Rarely can you find fish made this way anymore. This meal brought back memories. (I’d also recommend that if you are a large group visiting for the day and require more than 5 peoples worth of food, give these guys a heads up in the morning about the time so they can prepare way ahead of time because they have a lot of people show up on the spot I noticed making orders for huge groups. Be courteous to others around you. Plan ahead

Delicious fish and chips. Highly recommend the pumpkin fritters and potato cakes. The batter is crisp and crunchy. Greek salad was tasty. They were very busy. We had to wait for 40 minutes for our order. However, no complaints however due to great quality of food. Staff warned us about the long wait.

Food was super fresh and delicious. Service was fantastic and service was quick! Will definitely make a trip to the area again for the fish and chips!

Dined for lunch whilst visiting on a day trip. I had the special Thai beef salad. It was tasty. Other diners enjoyed their meals of parmas burgers. Service friendly.

The gin flight is great. We really loved it. Make sure you book ahead as they do fill up quickly. The Parma was very good as well
