If you don't mind traveling a bit, there's a pub in Altamonte Springs that has excellent fish & chips, along with bangers and mash, steak and kidney pie, and the standard english pub fare. You follow Rt 441/27 and bear left where they separate. then it's 441 until it changes to, if I remember correctly, Rt 436. It's the same way you get to Costco. It's called St. Andrew's Pub. Being from a major New England fishing port, we are kind of finicky about our seafood, and we really don't get the attraction to The Lighthouse. While it's ok, we've never had anything there that we said "wow" about. But then again, that's just my opinion, and we know what they say about opinions. Another seafood place we found on TOTV was Fisherman's Cove on Rt 44 in Inverness. While the fish & chips weren't anything special (fish pieces were too small), the rest of the meals were wonderful. Great coleslaw, deep fried huge shrimp, and tender, sweet and moist sea scallops the size of hockey pucks. But then again, everybody's taste is different.
