Restaurant review: RokSalt, Bright
Late lunchtime, in Bright, on a weekend at the end of the school holidays. Several cafes open, but none quite looking right. And then we found RokSalt. A fish place, advertising fish and vegetarian. Something a bit more than a fish-and-chip shop, restaurant quality fish in huge serves at upmarket fish-and-chipperie prices. The usual newspaper reviews you get in a shop window were from businesses of a different name in Byron Bay and Phillip Island... but the man in the photos was the same smiling guy with the tattooed arms who'd just served us. Good food, worth looking out for. My tuna steak with wasabi mayonnaise was good, so was the salmon with herb pesto, Mum's box of tempura vegetables was huge and delicious, and Chris barely made it through the heat of his vegetable curry. None of us were sure why they advertised hand-cut chips as something special, but the chips *were* pretty darn good. Specials board had good stuff that was in season, all the fish was good and fresh. Unfortunately, I shudder to think of the food miles - Bright's not exactly by the ocean. But the quality of the food really makes this place worth a stop.
