Delicious! Make a note to drive right past McDonalds and KFC and opt for the best seafood in town! I had the Coral Trout burger and after a year of traveling around Australia. This burger is the winner! Check out the options in the pic below plus we also bought some homemade frozen pizzas and desserts! All the food is fresh and delicious!
