Smith's has been that takeaway place I hear a lot about but I'm just never in the area to give it a chance. With seafood on our minds, we ended our long weekend with a drive down south to rid us of our fish and chips craving.
My love for fish cocktails always forces this purchase. Their fish cocktails looks like mini battered fish. The batter was light and not too oily... and the fish was soft and flaky... it was definitely of good quality. I've had better but never at this generous sizing.
The crumbed fish was beautiful. Perfectly crumbed... with the colour being just the way I'd like it. It had a nice outer crunch and yet again soft, flaky, fresh fishy interior that slightly melted in your mouth. The crumbing added enough flavour whereby you don't even need to pair it with sauce.
I think the highlight was definitely the calamari. Normally I have issues with calamari as it can tend to be tough and chewy which really ruins the experience. These were massive calamari rings that had just the right bounce to it and a smooth texture with light crumbing that made it ideal.
The best thing is you can take it away and eat it out back while enjoying the views of the water. The seagulls around here don't seem as malicious as the ones around Circular Quay. I can see why they would have won awards.. efficient customer service, great food and well priced. The lines can build up quite quickly, despite it's not-so-convenient location. As we ordered and waited, the lines manage to read 7-8 deep on a random sunny Monday afternoon.
If I do make the effort to come down here... it's now gonna be a hard choice whether to feast here or at Paul's...
