Subscriber only A Mackay takeaway shop has recorded its âbusiest everâ Good Friday in 10 years â serving up more than 800 orders to the hungry masses.
Vellaâs Fish Bar on Sydney Street sold 1480 pieces of fish, 465 kgs of chips, 760 potato scallops and 280 prawn cutlets on Friday as a line of hungry customers snaked out the door and down the street.
Owner Judith Fenech said staff were smashed with orders from 10.30am to 8pm.
The shop was so buzzing with customers and orders that it even blew a fuse.
âA fuse in a power pole blew about 7pm and we had to call Ergon,â Ms Fenech said.
