Cod Piece

Restaurant: Cod Piece - Gourment Fish & Chip Restaurant
Location: Shop 5, 572 Brunswick St, New Farm [3254 4844]

Time: 7pm

I was dreading to go to this restaurant since I am not a big seafood fan. However, I love eating fresh fish and fish which does not taste like fish. The whole concept of this restaurant is that they don't freeze fish and it is freshly delivered in the morning. There were not many fish varieties available. There is a board which lists the fish available. There were around 5 to 6 types available.

The restaurant had a good atmosphere and friendly staff. It felt like I was inside an aquarium. Although, water was provided for us, they were not refilled. We had to wave our hands to get the attention of the staff to provide water for us.

I asked the waitress, "Can you recommend a fish which does not have a strong fishy taste". She recommended "Red Jew", which apparently does not have a strong fish taste. There was an option for grilled or deep fried. I chose crumbed.

I got the meal with the fish, salad and chips. Not only Red Jew did not look like fish and it did not taste like fish either... Actually, I cant even describe the taste (Wierd!!!). However I did finish off the fish. I tasted Swordfish (Deep fried) and Spearfish (Deep fried) and they were absolutely tasty especially the Spearfish. The fish were indeed fresh. I regretted ordering the Red Jew.

Overall, I would go back to this restaurant for the fresh fish.

Score: 8 out of 10.
