A cosy old pub in the main street of Canowindra, the fire was roaring as the wind blew outside, the staff and the locals were friendly and the menu showed plenty of promise.
I was pretty hungry so went for some Cheesy Garlic Bread to start and then the Fisherman's Basket, and my partner had some Tempura Prawns (or similar I cant remember and will explain why).
As the minutes ticked by I was starving and as soon as the Cheesy Garlic Bread hit the table I was into it - and it was so good, and by the time we had nearly finished it I realised I had to leave room for the main but plenty of times a Fisherman's can be little more that small serve of fish n chips plus a random calamari.
Well when it came out I knew I was in trouble, I'm not sure if it was meant for 2 people but the basket was as big as my head and I knew I had a hard slog to do this justice. Now quantity is one thing but the quality was outstanding and last time I checked Canowindra isn't anywhere near the ocean, it had plenty of small fillets, battered prawns, perfectly cooked calamari, crumbed scallops, all sitting on a bed of crisp chips.
I'm embarrassed to say it beat me, the first time ever a Fisherman's has gotten the better of me, I hated leaving anything behind but I left in a delightful food coma (hence why I cant remember what my other half had).
