Australians love Chicken Salt, other countries i assume have some other crap they call seasoning.

A notable one is MSG, so if an non-australian were to ask ‘whats the deal with chicken salt?’ Would a reference to MSG be a useful guide?

    Yeah, i suppose i was mainly thinking of some fried chicken with MSG to dip that was just awesome as the comparison, but you’re right its mainly used in cooking, whereas chicken salt is on top.

    because it is too strong and dominates the fish flavour

    Hadn’t clocked this. Don’t eat fish often, but when i do i’ll make sure to remember this, i instantly imagined that overpowering sensation of the chicken salt as you describe.

      I had one really bad experience when I was a kid where we got fish and chips from a new place because our usual was unexpectedly closed. They put chicken salt on everything and it became like this running joke in our family about the worst fish and chips ever because it didn’t even qualify as fish - it tasted like chicken lol
