Additionally, out of all the major cities, Melbourne set the record for the highest amount spent on dining out. With the country’s cultural emphasis on a sense of community enhanced with a laid-back attitude, it’s no wonder that eating out, a highly social activity, has become such a priority. However, even with so many choices to choose from in the Oz dining scene, an old favorite still beats out newcomers: fish and chips. The love that Australians have for fish and chips, an export of the nation’s strong ties with England, has remained unshaken throughout the years. Whether it’s eating with one’s hands right outside the fish and chippery or having takeaway, it’s a popular meal that many crave for regardless of the time of the year.
