GREAT OCEAN ROAD, AUSTRALIA - Today we’re going on a tour of the iconic Great Ocean Road, and we’ll be eating some of the best Australian seafood along the way.
The Great Ocean Road is a historical highway that connects remote coastal towns along the southern coast of Australia. It was initially started as a project to create jobs for soldiers returning from WW1. The construction began in 1919 and was mostly completed when it was handed over to the government in 1936. When I visited Australia, I was excited to drive this iconic road for the majestic natural beauty - the rugged sea cliffs, the windswept coast - and probably most of all - to discover some of the best local seafood restaurants along the way.

When Mark doesn’t actually like a part of the dish..his way of wording it is so professional and polite 🙏🏼

I've been watching Mark Weins for around 10 years now. I'm still amazed at how much food he can eat in one day 😂😂😂

Growing up in Melbourne, and now 60, Fish & Chips on Friday just wasn't just a Good-Friday thing (though to it we owe the legacy), it was a cultural thing, every Friday! Affordable tucker (in those days) the whole family looked forward to. For generations prior, innumerable families, across the suburbs, Fish & Chips were an intro to the celebration of the weekend. It is our culture and hasn't faded or been written over as yet. We didn't invent Fish & Chips, but boy did we make it our own, refining it and honouring each mouthful as an Aussie thing to do.

Love how at 14:01 Mark says the fries are just outstanding and then right after his son goes “but the fish is better” 😂
-
I'm so happy to see Mark so radiant, healthy, happy, and full of his amazing energy!

Hi Mark! The orange part on the scallop is actually the roe (scallops female reproductive system - if grey in colour, it’s called “milt” and is the male part) very delicious, but not often seen as they’re usually removed.

Access to good food makes life worth living

I can always hear Micah in the background. It would be nice to see more of him, especially if he's trying new food
-
Welcome to Torquay, Mark! My hometown. Glad you enjoyed the food and the locations. We’re very proud of our part of the world and you presented it beautifully. Happy travels and buon apetito 👍🌶️

Yes as an Australian myself I am just gobsmacked at the prices being charged by restaurants and takeaways these days, and wonder how on earth anyone affords it. I never eat out. Love my seafood but i'd rather cook it at home. If you can catch it, clean and fillet it yourself then you are laughing. Everything is exorbitantly expensive in this country and it's one thing I will never come to terms with. Just glad I am a good cook and can prepare yummy packed lunches and dinners, coffee etc without needing to pay these prices.

I waned to say thank you Mark, Micah and Ying for all you do I get to travel the world with you guys learn all about different cultures, food, traditions. Although I always get hungry when Mark describe the food. He opens your eyes to so many things, food brings people together, brings smiles to your face and happiness to the heart, this is what Mark has taught me.

I am also a Victorian, i know these areas so well BUT the way you have filmed and explained them makes me so proud .... THANKYOU
-
Beautiful! It's always the seafood episodes that make me extra envious 😅 Love this wide open landscape as well. Another point for Australia!
-
Hey Mark! As a devoted fan, I'm thrilled that you've experienced the amazing seafood and fish and chips in Australia. It must have been an incredible culinary adventure! I'm eagerly awaiting your next video, and if you get the chance to explore New Zealand, I'm sure their cuisine will amaze you as well. Safe travels and keep up the fantastic work!

Mark, you're driving us nuts showing us all that yummy seafood!! Great showcase of the food offerings on the Great Ocean Road. We are so lucky to have this wonderful place so close to home.
-
Mark, you visiting my home state and exploring things I’ve been to a million times makes me appreciate my humble home that much more! Thank you and enjoy the rest of Australia

The orange pieces attached to the scallop are the reproductive organs, often referred to as 'roe' or 'coral', often discarded, however I personally believe it to be the best part of the scallop or atleast in line with the meat, so sweet and delicious. Not liver, and definitely not the tongue 😂 I don't know where your friend collects his information 😂

Man, Mark is living his best life eating all this food, welcome to Australia!

Hey, Mark! Regarding fish-eating, there is a place in Holland. Hoek van Holland, where the Maas flows into the sea. There is a small round restaurant with glass windows, where you could eat wonderful squid rings and salad, while watching big cargo ships going out to sea. In the background refineries, and cranes show up on the other side. Wind is always blowing, sometimes raining, sometimes snowing, sometimes it is sunny all within an hour. Wind blows the sand particles in the face. There is also a huge WWII fort with three stories that can be visited. Hell, there was a manhole cover blaring out light music also! This was long time back, but Hoek van Holland is a unique venue that needs to be experienced!!!

History, beautiful place and seafood. That's wonderful!
