Fish & Chips
Fish & Chips
My father-in-law used to cook the most incredible yet simple meals for us on a cast-iron plate over a wood fire while we all worked on our bush block. His specialty was potatoes, sliced super thin on the spot using his pocketknife, cooked to perfection on that hot plate until they were crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. He would team them with freshly caught flathead fillets, dusted in seasoned flour and cooked in a light coating of butter. To this day, Pop’s Chips are the solution to anything that ails us.
