Wild Harvest
Marina Drive, Coffs Harbour (next to Fisherman's Co-operation)
Rating: 3.5/5
Was in a mood for seafood and thus this review. Wild Harvest is a restaurant/ bistro that serves dinner on weekdays and weekends, lunch on weekends and breakfast on sundays. While the repertoire of the menu is quite limited, I have to say they serve one of the best fish and chips in NSW I had so far. One of the selling point of the place is that it is literally next the the sea. During winter the lower deck of the restaurant is closed but the upper deck is opened and it is quite a view to behold. Imagine having your lunch/ coffee out on the upper deck and hearing the waves crash against the breakers and sea gulls flying overhead (beware of them pinching food off your plate though).
One of the main reason why I love the fish and chips is the light batter used. It's light, crispy and not thick. It's not overly salted either so you can enjoy the freshness of the fish. The fish is fresh, no fishy smell or after taste and it's juicy and melts in your mouth. It's serve with a generous portion of chips which is just about the right thickness and but crisp on the outside. As usual there is a green salad by the side. The one complain I have about the fish is that it's a tad too oily. Perhaps kitchen paper towels may solve the issue easily.
I also ordered a thick chocolate milkshake which is good and thick. I have had experiences with other cafes/ bistros where thick shakes are not thick at all.I'm a chocolate lover and thus I find the chocolate is too mild for me. It's more like a after taste. Service is nothing to boot about but prompt. Overall, I would go back for their fish and chips or maybe try something different the next time.
