Brighton-Le-Sands Ice Creamery: 30 flavours on offer, Brighton-Le-Sands (17 July 2011)

80 The Grand Parade, Brighton-Le-Sands NSW 2216

Childhood flavours

The decor and seating is pretty simple but with 30 flavours on offer there should be something at this Ice Creamery that will tickle your fancy. Since childhood I've always been a big fan of the Peppermint Choc Chip ($4.90, 1 scoop) for some reason. The place is close to the beach for a leisurely stroll to get away from the unromantic florescent lighting. Prices aren't particularly cheap although the single sized scoop seems decently sized and comes in a waffle cone.

SNAPSHOT REVIEW:

PROS: Lots of choices including low fat and gelato, All the childhood classics plus a few surprises, Close to the beach

CONS: Not particularly cheap, Bright lighting and cheap seating

MUST TRY: A new flavour each time

Ocean Heart Seafood: Fisherman's Basket, Brighton-Le-Sands (30 Dec 2009)

Thin and crispy batter

It's so refreshing to come across a fish n chip shop which does a nice thin and crispy batter which isn't too oily — Ocean Heart Seafood seems to have got it right. I order the Small Fisherman's Basket so I can try a few things. From the first bite of the seafood stick I was impressed with the thinness of the batter. The prawn cutlets were battered rather than the usual crumbing — it was good to see there was more prawn than batter on these. The crumbed calamari rings were also pretty large and tender with a tasty coating. The flavoursome BBQ Octopus was marinated in plenty of garlic amongst other things — thankfully not too rubbery as well. The small greek salad was quite small especially when the pieces of salad are cut quite large but it's good to see they managed to put a bit of everything in it. I noticed on the awards wall that they don't use animal fat which sounds like a good thing for the waistline.

Small Fisherman's Basket: 3 calamari rings, 2 fish cocktails, 1 seafood stick, 2 prawn cutlets and chips $10.50

BBQ Octopus $7.90 small

Greek salad $3.20 small
