Old Salt - Port Melbourne

Old Salt Fish and Chips

On the wishes of my parents in law, we dropped by Port Melbourne to sample the local fish and chips. I picked out Old Salt because of the positive reviews and I wasn’t disappointed.  The service was great, we took about 5 minutes to work out what to order all the while the waiter smiled and said take your time. We ordered an old salt box (1 flake, 2 calamari’s, chips and tartar sauce) and for the lovers box (2 flakes, 2 potato cakes, 2 dim sims, chips and tartar sauce) for $29. Our order came out in 3 plates, 1 flake and chips on each plate with the calamari’s, dim sims and potato cakes divided up. When we finished up, we got a wave goodbye from the staff, a nice send off.

Description of the food

Flake – Fresh, crispy and not to oily

Chips – Crunchy, maybe a little too crunchy on some of the chips

Dim Sims – Standard dim sims not much to say here

Potato cakes – Potato cakes were quite nice, crispy and not to oily.

Parking – Lots of street parking, we ended up parking at coles.

Public transport – Not really sure about public transport here.
