In a world of fast food franchises and pre-cut, frozen vegetables, Charlie Hasem carries the flag…read morefor the good old suburban fish and chip shop. He has done since 1984, when Prospect was blessed by the opening at 220 Prospect Road of Charlie's Place Fish and Chip Shop. Put aside thoughts of Greasy Joe's, of the soggy chip and the bland frozen fillet. For here is the scrupulously clean studio of a master fish and chip cook. It's a place dedicated to the deep-fried potato in all its forms and the battered (or crumbed) fillet of succulent fish. You'll get no fried debris with your chips here. Charlie is an artist who serves only the finest, large chips - cooked to perfection: moist inside with no oily residue to soak through the white paper and spoil the car upholstery or the fabric over one's thighs. The prices for the delicacies served here are very reasonable. The yardstick dish - minimum chips - is $3.70 for a manly helping. A cross-check of the potato fritter yields a similarly reasonable 80 cents (and if you look hungry, Charlie may give you two for one). Charlie will even cater for your peculiar taste - for extra well-fried chips, for example. Charlie does a tasty sideline in mighty hamburgers and a house specialty, ring de pineapple frite aka fried battered pineapple ring, as well as the usual fired egg and circles of beetroot. To 'dine at Charlies', whether in-house at the small table provided, in the seclusion of one's vehicle or perhaps al fresco in the company of a loved one, is to be transported to a time when chips were chips, and batter added a crisp taste of its own to fish without greasiness. As a long-term afficionado of the fried chip and the battered fish fillet, I honestly cannot fault the place. Parking is easy at Charlie's, which is situated in a small, quiet strip of shops on the sea side of Prospect Road between Victoria and Alexander streets. You can usually park right out the front. Don't wait too long in the evening though. Charlie ceases his labours at 7pm, but is open 7 days a week, assisted on weekends by the equally gifted Mrs Hasem. The locals know, and now, thanks to Yelp!, you know too. Charlie's is a place to be cherished; an old school fish and chip shop whose owner has perfected his craft.

Over the years, I often chatted with the older gentleman (the father) who used to work there. Recently, the younger guy (the son) has taken over, and it's wonderful to see a small South Australian business succeed for so many years. I give it five stars.

And the legitimate inventors, say the management, of the infamous AB - a tasty culinary concoction so visually revolting that it can be safely viewed only through beer goggles. It is also reputed to be the only dish in the world with an 'R' rated taste. The chips especially here are old school, like the boss, Tony, whose photographic memory allows him to tell you what you are about to order. Whether a fresh, crunchy yiros, or simple fish and chips, is your heart's desire, you will never do better than the Blue & White.

And the charcoal free range chickens are delicious - they cut them up for you into serving pieces which is handy for sharing. Very nice array of salads too!
