For a fast-food fish sandwich, I'd have to say Culver's is absolutely the best. I thin this is cod, though they served fried lake perch (a taste of home for folks from the Great Lakes area) during Lent.

For true (batter-dipped, deep-fried) fish and chips, I've really liked Miller's Ale House on 441 at the north end of The Villages. Just don't look at the calorie count on the menu - it's about a full day's worth of food, calorie-wise. I believe this is cod.

For something different (and crunchier) the fish fingers appetizer at The Fenney Grill is pretty tasty. The fish are rolled in corn flake and fried. The Lighthouse in Lake Sumter Landing serves a similar concoction. It's better than it sounds. I think this is haddock in both places, but I'm not sure.

For something NOT fried, the food truck at Edna's On The Green serves a blacked fish that is particularly tasty to me, though I think it's best when they manage to do it with redfish (which they can't always get).

I have generally not been impressed with the fish & chips at any of the country clubs I've tried. I think even Red Lobster has them beat, and I'm not a huge fan of Red Lobster. I mean, it's edible, but it's just not that great.

They can be kind of heavy-handed on the batter, but that' probably my second-favorite fast food place for a fish sandwich (after Culver's).

I've lived in The Villages for six years and I've tried all the restaurants for fish and chips. I'll give you the best and worst: The best, by far, is O Shucks on 301, and the very worst I've had was at Blue Fin.

Tough Choice
 

Fortunately, it is only 20 minutes from Sawgrass (via Meggison), but Oakwood is basically across the street from the Seafood Shack. The smell of the Smokehouse is irresistible at times.

I’m from New York City. What is mushy peas? I’ve never heard of it.

Thanks! I went to O'Shucks last night since that restaurant was named most often. Pretty Darn Good! Going to also try some of the other restaurants that were mentioned. Will give an update as I go.

Worst fish ever right off the Gordons or Sysco truck. Once you get through the coating there is a very small piece of fish, never again...

Glad you found something you like.

Tony’s is wonderful, as good or better than some I had at San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf. BTW, they have a restaurant in Mt. Dora.

No idea how it is made but as far as I can tell they cook up a batch of green peas and than mash them.

Best fish and chips is the grouper at Frenchy’s in Clearwater Beach. The best in TV is at Blue Fin imho.

Just goes to show you, taste is subjective...

The Golden Hind in London. Outstanding!

If you’re willing to drive just a bit, especially if you are south of 44 - check out Clermont Fish House - British-style Fish ‘n Chips

FACT CHECK: TRUE

Only Cod. . the others just aren't meaty enough for frying. .
and then drizzled with a touch of lemon or lime. .

Do believe in London, mostly Haddock is used

FYI.

So we scored tickets to the Open next summer in Troon, for the final day. We are entering the St Andrews drawing for guaranteed golf during the same time and I, as an expert fish and chips taster, will evaluate Scottish Fish and chips from the North sea. . and will report back to everyone who couldn't care less.

Well I'll be...

If you want sausage rolls you need British sausage meat. Try jollyposhfoods.com for real sausages. He's from the UK, she's from Chicago.

Try their links with frozen puff pastry, you have real English sausage rolls. I make them all the time for my family.

Mushy Peas are a standard side in the North of England and are served with fish and chips in the chip shops. Personally, I think they are disgusting, but if you are from the North of England you would love them. Google a recipe for them.

By the way, the very best Cod and Chips we ever had was in Whitby, Yorkshire in the Mag Pie. Fish sold right off the dock.

How about it Two Bills, fish and chips in Whitby?

What is a real sausage from the UK??? Real UK's are bangers

Maybe where you came from. Sausage meat is sold in all the butcher's shops in the UK, sold by the lb. There are dozens of recipes that use sausage meat. Google it.

You are showing Sausage and Mash and peas. Standard Monday night supper in many homes in the UK.

You don't say...how'd we go from Fish & Chips to Bangers and Mash?

Whitby!!!
Nobody with any sense goes to Whitby.
Anywhere north of Watford Gap is populated with wild tribesmen, and Ancient Britons.
You were lucky to get out alive!:)
