I was brought the fried Haddock entree by mistake last night at Terra del Sol when I had ordered fried shrimp. I took the mistake entree because I had tickets to the show at The Studio and didn’t have enough time for the remake. I thought the fish was awful (the show was great). I do like the “fish finger” appetizer at Fenny Grill and you can get fries on the side (I don’t like their fries, however)

Check out McGradys at Sawgrass. They even have a sort of mushy peas-maybe not the real thing but better than nothing.

Best F&C are in Western Australia!

Hands down best F&C is Johnny's Fish Bar in Como, Western Australia. I search high and low everywhere I travel for a hit of this most wonderful fare and am mostly disappointed. Nova Scotia had some good stuff.

Mushy peas are disgusting and very British. We don't do it in WA but east side of OZ does.

Now locally in TV I find Culver's does a pretty decent job but there'd be no beer. Stay away from McGrady's Pub at Sawgrass, overpriced and well below average.

Mckrackens in Leesburg makes nice light flaky battered fish and it is the best I have had in a long time, Cod.

The Clermont Fish House also has great sausage rolls and meat pies!

Does Johnny deliver to the villages? Mushy peas might be very British but this boy from Brooklyn has learn to like them.

Been there several times and have enjoyed their food so next time will try their fish. Thanks.

We like Miller's on 441, just South of Texas Roadhouse. Fish is good but chips, (fries,) are coated. They're good too, but just not the same.

Millers Ale House, 441, lunch specials.

Huss/Rock salmon/rock eel/huss I have heard and we called sand sharks or dog fish.

Lillian Gish may be fried potatoes

Wally may be an insult or a large gherkin (dill pickle)

During one of my assignments, there was a surplus of farmed salmon and actually atlantic salmon was reportedly cheaper than cod. The Chippy's served a lot of salmon but I preferred the cod.

Interesting memories. I never got the nerve to eat conger eel that I know of.

Cheers!
Wally.........Large Gherkin.
Lilian Gish.....Fish.
Haddock and bloater.........Motor (car)
I don't mind fried eel, apart from having to keep spitting out bones, but jellied eels? barf
Cheers :beer3:

Usually with skin.
Never touch F&C's now, so things may have changed.
My dear wife is trying to keep me healthy, so grilled (broiled in US!) fish and no chips is the order of the day, usually with lots of green stuff!
