Friday night fish and chips gets a makeover this National Barramundi Day, when Ben Shewry of Attica takes over AC/DC Lane with the one-day-only Aussie Barra Bar.

Drop by for a free Barra n Chips burger: crispy beer-battered Australian barramundi in a buttered brioche bun with finger lime tartare, salt-and-vinegar hot chips, iceberg lettuce, cheddar and dill pickles (until sold-out).

A long time advocate for sustainable seafood, Ben is championing Australian-farmed barramundi, a native fish rated 'Better Choice' by the GoodFish guide.
