We had: Fisherman's basket and curried scallop pie
The Doo-lishus food van is located in a picturesque location near the Blowhole, and short distance from other iconic attractions. Because of this, the carpark is absolutely teeming with activity. For us, Doo-lishus delivered reasonably well but fell a little short in some areas.
The Fisherman's Basket was great, filled with fresh seafood and chips, loaded to the brim with sinful fried goodness. The stern lady at the counter looked at me from over her spectacles as she passed on this laden paper cone. "The way I hand it to you...is the way you must carry it." And she's right. Never hold it upright, or the best bits will be lost. Arriving here near the middle of the afternoon, we were starving, and this definitely hit the spot.
The curried scallop pie was equal measure of delight and disappointment. The pastry was soggy instead of being light and more crispy. The contents were just lukewarm. That said, the creamy curry sauce and several fresh, fat scallops tasted just fine.
I wouldn't go so far as to say their reputation is "Much A-DOO About Nothing", but there is some room for improvement.
Verdict: 3.5 out of 5 stars
What a find!!!! Fantastic. Honestly some of the best, most fresh squid I have ever tasted!!! Chips were crispy, it was all just so delicious. There is a reason why this little van was constantly busy.
On our way back from Port Arthur we stopped by this food truck for lunch. We tried their curry scallop pie and the quiche of the day. I'm not a fan of meat pies in general, but they said the scallop pie was award winning so we tried it. Personally, neither my husband or I enjoyed it. It also had a very runny sauce and I found the "fish" flavor was off-putting, however, I've never had a scallop pie before so can't compare it to much. We both much preferred the quiche, although the portion was very snack size.
