Now I wrote about this earlier on as I heard the Costco opening was somewhere on the Northside of Brisbane, this was at the beginning of 2013.

The speculation then was somewhere in the North Lakes / Mango Hill area and in the last months I have been driving past Brisbane’s first Costco pretty much every day and watching the building being built, seeing the jobs being advertised online and then sooner than later, I’ll see the Costco grand opening at North Lakes in Brisbane.

It s located on the Northside of North Lakes across the road from my local Bunnings where I hangout to get my home handy man stuff most weekends.

We had been living in Morayfield for a while and then shifted a bit closer into Brisbane City, which is a few suburbs over into the Narangba area and although we had an old fish and chip shop we use to frequent they went off the boil in regards to serving size and also value for money, which led us into where we currently frequent and we ask ourselves now every weekend, is this the best Fish and Chip Shop in Brisbane and more importantly for us, Brisbane Northside?

We have a young family and have taken it upon ourselves to have a takeaway meal pretty much every Saturday night.

This lets the hugs and kisses have a night off preparing food and also it is a treat for us for the week, something we can all look forward to.

We vary these nights with Pizza, Chinese, Thai Food, McDonalds, Hungry Jacks and of course Fish and Chips.

We were at a bit of a loss when or old faithful fish and chip shop wasn’t cutting it anymore and also we, we meaning the whole family got food poisoning one night too which was the last straw for the place we had been going to for a few years.

Since that time we struggled to find a replacement although we were keen to fill the void.

We found a pretty good one up Caloundra way but that is a bit too far to travel for fish and chips let alone going there every Saturday night.

Most, even though there weren’t many fell short of fish and chip shop expectation and were either too expensive (One shop had a $9 price tag on a family size chips) or just didn’t cut it in respect for the actual cooking part, soggy chips, bad burgers and out of the box frozen potato scallops.

I had even resorted to cancelling Saturday night takeaway for the standard spaghetti and eggs on toast as I was finding that more enjoyable than some of the meals we were getting when the squids were getting theirs from the big chains in fast food.
