FISH & CHIPS Mountain!! 🐟 🍟 Best Australian SEAFOOD on the Great Ocean Road!!

GREAT OCEAN ROAD, AUSTRALIA - Today we’re going on a tour of the iconic Great Ocean Road, and we’ll be eating some of the best Australian seafood along the way.

The Great Ocean Road is a historical highway that connects remote coastal towns along the southern coast of Australia. It was initially started as a project to create jobs for soldiers returning from WW1. The construction began in 1919 and was mostly completed when it was handed over to the government in 1936. When I visited Australia, I was excited to drive this iconic road for the majestic natural beauty - the rugged sea cliffs, the windswept coast - and probably most of all - to discover some of the best local seafood restaurants along the way.

Here are all the places we visited on this ultimate Australian food tour:

One of our main sightseeing destinations was the magnificent Twelve Apostles.

Finally the next morning we quickly stopped off at Loch Ard Gorge to complete our food tour on Australia’s Great Ocean Road.

Yes as an Australian myself I am just gobsmacked at the prices being charged by restaurants and takeaways these days, and wonder how on earth anyone affords it. I never eat out. Love my seafood but i'd rather cook it at home. If you can catch it, clean and fillet it yourself then you are laughing. Everything is exorbitantly expensive in this country and it's one thing I will never come to terms with. Just glad I am a good cook and can prepare yummy packed lunches and dinners, coffee etc without needing to pay these prices.

When Mark doesn’t actually like a part of the dish..his way of wording it is so professional and polite 🙏🏼

I'm so happy to see Mark so radiant, healthy, happy, and full of his amazing energy!

I am also a Victorian, i know these areas so well BUT the way you have filmed and explained them makes me so proud .... THANKYOU

I waned to say thank you Mark, Micah and Ying for all you do I get to travel the world with you guys learn all about different cultures, food, traditions. Although I always get hungry when Mark describe the food. He opens your eyes to so many things, food brings people together, brings smiles to your face and happiness to the heart, this is what Mark has taught me.

Australia has the best seafood. So glad you enjoyed.

I love how Mark takes his time and gets to not just eat the foods on his vlog, but gets to know the people that prepares his food. We learn about the people, where the foods come from and how it's been prepared. Love the vlog, Mark.
You need to make a stop to Bondi in Sydney and try some of their restaurants. My Auntie went there and said every restaurant was wonderful and the seafood was the best she had on her trip to Australia.

Love how at 14:01 Mark says the fries are just outstanding and then right after his son goes “but the fish is better” 😂

Hi Mark! The orange part on the scallop is actually the roe (scallops female reproductive system - if grey in colour, it’s called “milt” and is the male part)

very delicious, but not often seen as they’re usually removed.

All I know is watching you eat makes me feel so deprived of delicious food and how much I'm missing out on beautiful places in the world. I'm living life through you! Thank you so much for talking time to share all this with the us!!

[Laderacleaners]

I love how Mark semi collabed with an actual chef. He was doing his yummy face while the chef was calmly tasting the same things and calmly storing those sensations into his memory bank. That is how cuisine moves forward. With people like mark and the Thai chef who experiences the same thing.

Mark, you visiting my home state and exploring things I’ve been to a million times makes me appreciate my humble home that much more! Thank you and enjoy the rest of Australia

Growing up in Melbourne, and now 60, Fish & Chips on Friday just wasn't just a Good-Friday thing (though to it we owe the legacy), it was a cultural thing, every Friday! Affordable tucker (in those days) the whole family looked forward to. For generations prior, innumerable families, across the suburbs, Fish & Chips were an intro to the celebration of the weekend. It is our culture and hasn't faded or been written over as yet. We didn't invent Fish & Chips, but boy did we make it our own, refining it and honouring each mouthful as an Aussie thing to do.

History, beautiful place and seafood. That's wonderful!

[WhiteD]

Been loving this aussie series, I've got to say very proud that you put the time to learn all the names of the towns and to pronounciate all of them properly, very hard for most people. Keep up the good stuff mate 👍 🤙

This food review video is a feast for the eyes and the senses! The high-quality visuals and close-ups of the food make it incredibly tempting. The presenter's enthusiasm and genuine enjoyment of each bite make me want to rush out and try these dishes right away. Fantastic job capturing the essence of these culinary delights!

Hey, Mark! Regarding fish-eating, there is a place in Holland. Hoek van Holland, where the Maas flows into the sea. There is a small round restaurant with glass windows, where you could eat wonderful squid rings and salad, while watching big cargo ships going out to sea. In the background refineries, and cranes show up on the other side. Wind is always blowing, sometimes raining, sometimes snowing, sometimes it is sunny all within an hour. Wind blows the sand particles in the face. There is also a huge WWII fort with three stories that can be visited. Hell, there was a manhole cover blaring out light music also! This was long time back, but Hoek van Holland is a unique venue that needs to be experienced!!!
