Authentic Australian seafood: Far from your average fish and chips

When you're in Australia, fish and chips will probably become your go-to meal, not only because of its prevalence, but due to its hot, fried tastiness that can't be matched. You'll likely try as many unique dishes as you can when you take a medical job in Australia, but it's hard to stray from this classic.

In New South Wales, you can choose any fish you desire—from shark, cod and bass, to blackfish or even catfish—at A Fish Called Coogee. Whether you prefer grilled, barbecued or blackened fillets of fish, the establishment cooks it up exactly as you prefer and allows you to eat in house or bring it home to enjoy for dinner with family or friends.

Nelson Bay is home to another establishment that serves some of the most tantalizing seafood dishes in the Land Down Under. Located next to a fish co-op, Bub's Fish and Chips always has a spectacular array of fresh fish for you to choose from. Looking out across the oceanfront, you can watch bay fishermen unload that day's catch, and potentially even wait for your meal to arrive on the dock. From garlic chili prawns to Caribbean lime and coconut-glazed salmon, your options for a fish and chips entree extend beyond your everyday haddock.
