Hooked - Fitzroy

I'm impressed. Gosh you can get some good food delivered these days. We had this off Uber Eats, courtesy of my younger son, and it was absolutely delicious I'd have to say. I had the calamari, chips and an Asian salad. It was really lovely and the serves were fairly generous. Bravo.

When hooked first opened it was a pretty good healthy seafood option. You could get a great piece of fish with salad and rice for a very reasonable price. Now, unfortunately, the quality and size portions have dropped. I've given it a few shots but am no longer interested.

We have been going there for couple of months now, specially for lunch special(10$)You can't get a better deal, love it.

If you feel like fish and chips but want a big menu to peruse, Hooked has a huge range of options and sides. We had the john dory (grilled) and calamari (grilled). We opted for a 'healthy' side of sweet potato chips, some brown rice, asian slaw and asian greens. This was a huge meal (apart from the sort of measly sized john dory fillet). I really enjoyed the brown rice, it had a really nice almost gluggy texture that just went well with the rest of the meal. The calamari was nice, although I probably prefer mine a little overcooked and chewy (I'm not used to having fish cooked properly!) The other options on the menu that looked enticing were the burgers, including the fish cheeseburger. If I was feeling a little hungrier and also not trying to eat as healthily, I would have definitely given this a go. Also I would have liked to try the good old battered flake and some potato cakes.

Back in Melbourne with an afternoon to kill. Why not try fish
