Gold Coast Salmon & Chips Secret

My wife and I like to eat oily fish at least once a week, partly for health reasons.

Our fish of choice is Salmon.

My wife, who is a very good cook, prefers not to cook fish herself. (I am very poor at cooking and am under severe restrictions as to what I am allowed to do in the kitchen. Cooking fish is not on the permitted list). And for anyone who thinks my wife has a raw deal…..I am butler to the cats. I get top marks from them (the cats) for my catering and other arrangements.

Anyway…back to the article!

We obtain grilled salmon and a small portion of chips (with no salt) from Chevron Island Seafoods here on the Gold Coast, Queensland. The salmon comes with a lovely sauce – not too much; just right.

We have always enjoyed great tasting salmon and chips from Frank, Warren and the rest of the team at Chevron Island Seafoods. The customer service is good too – we phone our order through and then drive to collect it.

I have been surprised that we have been obtaining such well cooked, and prepared, salmon and chips from what appears to be an ordinary takeaway shop.

Recently I discovered that not only the owner Frank, but the rest of his cooking team are fully qualified Chefs. Even the part timer. No ordinary cooks there! (No chance for me either).

Only last week my wife and I were treated to lunch in a Noosaville (Sunshine Coast) waterside restaurant by some dear friends. The food quality at the Noosaville restaurant was high, and it was attractively presented. Silly me, who should have picked a dish I don’t normally eat, chose the grilled salmon dish.

The salmon dish at the Noosaville restaurant was nice and well presented. It was not however in the same quality or taste league as good old Frank’s offering from Chevron Island Seafoods.

Choosing the salmon dish at Noosaville ended up helping me appreciate what I have every week from Chevron Island Seafoods even more.

It just goes to show that things are not always as they seem.

If you are a tourist, or other visitor to the Surfers Paradise or Bundall area, you could easily miss out on this gem. It is the sort of place that is generally only known to locals. Don’t miss out.

A big well done to Frank and the team at Chevron Island Seafoods!
