Platter for 4 - 01/08/2021

We love the fish from Fishaways, but the last 3 years or so; the fish just got smaller and smaller and the price just kept on increasing. Today we bought a platter for 4 and as far as I can remember, we could normally switch the rice with chips and that is what we normally do with the other items on the Fishaways menu (my son and I don’t like rice). Today the lady at the till said (while looking outside at a man) that we cannot switch the rice with chips anymore; but more than one of the items on the menu still states “rice or chips”. Anyway, we are 3 adults, so I figured that a platter for 4; would be more than enough for 3 adults and how much rice, could there actually be! Surprise, surprise when we got home (the package was sealed), more than three quarters of the box was filled with that yellow rice. The 4 pieces of very thin fish were buried under all the rice. The amount of chips is not even enough for 3 people. My wife and the dog normally eat the rice. Neither the dog nor my wife wanted to eat the yellow rice, my wife said it taste strange and the dog just smelled the rice and walked away. After my son ate his fish and the small amount of chips, he asked “where is the main course?”. I will never buy a platter for 4 again and Fishaways should rather call it a “rice platter”. People buy fish from Fishaways for the fish and the main ingredient cannot be rice or any other item. Needless to say, we made sandwiches after paying R 199.90 for a box of mainly rice, because we were still hungry – what a disappointment!
