So sad that they didn’t have blue cod or Atlantic cod so we settled for the salmon which can be found anywhere. Because the black cod and the lingcod are high in mercury. So are the other fishes like monkfish that they recommended. They forgot to serve us our bread basket and we had to ask for it, though the bread was delicious. And when I asked what is crumbed cooking style like the waiter replied me in one word - breadcrumbs. Friendly and informative.
The meat of the monkfish was as tender as butter. It literally melts in your mouth. Definitely the best dish we had at Greenwood!
It’s #fishfriday and I’m again in the mood for some fish and chips. Got the Snapper Fish & Chips ($16.50) from @greenwoodfishmarket not too long ago to satisfy my fish and chips cravings.
Think crisp, light batter that encases the three pieces of flaky, mildly flavoured snapper. You could tell that the snapper was fresh and I like how the batter isn’t filled with oil till the point that it bloats up your stomach.
For the chips, they are freshly fried till crispy yet retaining the potato’s fluffiness on the inside. But the problem is these medium cut chips turn soggy will fast when you takeaway. So best is to douse it with some malt vinegar.
Sad to say, the newly launched Mushy Peas ($5.95) was dry and lumpy. The kitchen has some work to do here.
What’s served at Greenwood Fish Market’s version is the Australian fish and chips. I’m inherently biased and I very much prefer British fish and chips.
Also on offer are the House Fish & Chips ($11.50) and Barramundi Fish & Chips ($16.50).
It's decent but nothing to shout about - the crumble wase nice and crunchy, apples were soft but not soggy, was pretty cinnamony & sugary. Had this because it was part of the restaurant week set menu, but it's not something I would order ala carte.
Have tried this multiple times (but it's been a while since my last visit) and I'm glad that it's still good! They use catfish in this. The fish was soft and flaky, encased in thin layer of batter which had a crunch. The chips were hot and crisp. It's good and reliable fish and chips, this is something that we get almost every time we visit.
Found this okay only, I think we are just not fans of barramundi. But it was cooked well, pretty moist and the skin was mostly crisp. We liked the accompanying sides - the mash, coleslaw, zucchini and broccoli were good! Also, the sauce was very delicious, it's quite well-balanced. Would have loved for more of that sauce!
This was cooked well, the tail end was crisp & smoky, and the thicker parts weren't tough. We've had better octopus elsewhere though,
Pretty nice flavour profile, there's a nice balance of savoury & sweet. Prawns were succulent! We mopped up the sauce with the bread because the sauce was delicious :)
Bread was alright, felt that they toasted it for too long so while it was crisp, it was rather dry. But dip (or soak) it in the olive oil and vinegar and it’s fine!
Go on Tuesday for their oyster special day where oysters are $1.50. Oysters are fresh and delicious. Rest of the seafood menu is great too and very fresh.
Had oysters craving, so got a few to try, namely Mary point, fine de Claire no. 3, Gillardeau no. 3, Ostra Regal, Sentinelles speciale. It was fun exploring the different flavor profiles of the oysters. The two standout ones for me were the Mary point, plump in size, super creamy and milky! Very rich and satisfying. I also enjoyed the Gillardeau no. 3 for its unique chewy and crunchy texture and it has scent of the sea and a soft nutty taste. Grilled squid is a winner, easily the best one I’ve had so far (way better than the izakayas I’ve been). They are grilled to such perfection, there is an unmistakably crunch to the tentacles and the squid rings are extremely soft and tender. Went for the whole char grilled sea bream instead of the fillets. No regrets at all! Very juicy and moist flesh, overall light texture with delicate crispy skin!
What’s a world without oyster? 6 days left for Greenwood Fish Market’s World Oyster Festival.
When I saw this, I knew I had to try it. My love for oyster can be seen through the frequent mention in my feed.

It is my first time having fine dining & trying all these food.
I had Crab Cake, Prawn Risotto & Salmon Wellington.
All of them tasted good.
However, as they believed in preparing everything fresh and it was a company event consisting of about 70 pax, the food took very long to come out. We waited for 1.5hr to have our appetizer and another 1hr for entree. I left without eating the dessert as it was late already.
Prize isn't cheap too. I don't think I would ever recommend my friends to come here.
Char grilled with mash potatoes and grilled vegetables. Firm, flaky flesh with crispy skin.
Tried the French fine de Claire, Baron point USA (big ones) and blue point.
Green lipped mussels are the best! Plump, juicy and fleshy!
calamari and the bread was def the star of the night!!! the calamari was lightly seasoned and the batter albeit soft was sufficiently crunchy. perhaps my standards are a bit low but most places that serve calamari are so horrible that this is pretty high on my list.
the bread were glorious. soft, fluffy, and warm. we’re willing to go all the way back just for the bread.
the mains were super lackluster on the other hand. the barramundi was super fishy at points and the mashed potato was hard (not jk). the fish and chips batter was soft (is it a trend by now) and completely unseasoned - in short, super unpalatable

But the vendor name this pizza 🍕. Probably the most unlikely name to it. Taste is as good as it look. Go try it some days when your neatby. You will know what I meant
Maybe this is a seafood restaurant so their prep for steak is not to the standard. Definitely would be coming back again after my first visit
