$500 Fish and Chips

Overview

Have you ever sat on the beach enjoying a hearty feed of fish and chips, and thought "wow, I wish this cost me an extra $480"?

Well, you're in luck. Barangaroo eatery love.fish is set to serve what they claim is the country's "fanciest" fish and chips, using exotic and expensive ingredients from around the world — and setting you back a cool $500 a plate.

Available for one day only and the brainchild of love.fish head chef Michael Millkovic, the dish consists of Glacier 51 Patagonian toothfish (the wagyu beef of the ocean, according to those in the know) and Eastern rock lobster, both encased in a Belvedere vodka batter.

On the side, you'll enjoy Thorpdale-sourced hand-cut chips and black Spanish winter truffles, topped with Hadid Royal Oscietra caviar. A jar of that stuff will usually set you back AU$745, so you're really getting a bargain.

No, the dish doesn't end there — it's then dusted in gold leaf. And what plate of fish and chips would be complete without a side of Cristal champagne dipping sauce? Not these ones, don't worry.

The dish is available at love.fish for one day only, on Thursday, March 24 — so if it sounds like a bit of you, you'll want to get your booking in now.
