Hectic fish burgers and ‘Happy Meals': Don's team opens seafood diner on the north side
'The initial idea was a really good fish'n'chip shop, but we've come so far from that,' says Gavioli, who connected with Good Fish, a sustainability initiative by the Australian Marine Conservation Society, helping its community understand seafood more deeply. 'I couldn't believe some of the stats: how many different species of prawns we're not eating, all these fish that are [trendy] that we shouldn't be eating as much of,' he says. Seafood comes via Sydney-based supplier Andrew Joseph, also known as The Afishonado. 'He has a little black book of fishers that he knows do it right,' says Cordelia chef Josh Norris, also of Don's. 'There's a list of 10 to 15 [fish on offer] he sends out each week.' Driven by what's available, the menu shapeshifts day to day – and isn't posted online. There are some constants, though. Always expect pasta, like a bouillabaisse-inspired Moreton Bay bug casarecce; a 'hectic, KFC-looking' fish burger (only served at lunch Wednesday and Thursday) akin to the fried-chicken sandwich at Don's; and a hibachi-grilled whole fish.
