The fish was Haddock and, although I did not measure it, the "filet" itself was only about 1/2 thick - and I'm being generous with that measurement. With the breading (or beer battering as they claim it to be) the total thickness of the "nugget-sized" pieces was about 3/4 of an inch. Considering the thinness of the fish and the thickness of the fried coating, all I could taste was the fried coating.

That's pathetic. I ordered the fish & chips when it was McGrady's Pub and although not a huge portion, it was easily 4X yours and tasted delicious. I've rarely sent a meal back, but I would have that one!
