Default Try the Lighthouse seafood truck on 466 by the Lighthouse Seafood Market

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).
You need to try the food truck by the lighthouse seafood market on 466
