Most restaurants in or around The Villages serve Haddock. While acceptable, the customary fish has been cod. For those who have not had cod in fish and chips, it is far superior to haddock. Unfortunately, cod was overfished and the limits placed by various governments on the catch has caused an increase in the price of cod and a subsequent decline in its being served in restaurants.
On Fridays only, Cane Garden serves cod. On the other days, it is haddock. The potatoes served are french fries and not the classic English "chips", which are, usually, large and soft. I prefer french fries, of which Cane does a good job.
Cane coats the cod in batter and not breading. Again, the use of batter is traditional. Sometimes Cane gets the batter a little thick.
The supply of cod at Cane Gardens on Friday is limited. You'll be wise to go early. I expect that, next Friday, Cane will have several new customers who have read this post.
I almost forgot, the fish and chips are served with coleslaw. No mushy peas (which really aren't as bad as many people believe).
