I didn’t mention in my recommend post, that at Cody’s you can get a baked potato instead of fries, and they have a great salad included.

Which Cody's.

Been to the one at LSL and service was beyond horrendus. Food good though but even with getting manager involved group of 12 of us all dissatisfied.

I love great American fries, and there are lots of kinds of fries that are great, but American fries are NOT what real fish and chips are supposed to have. They should be soggy, pale, served in paper, and with lots of salt and vinegar on them as well as on the fish. NEVER catsup, and NEVER tarter sauce.

That said, I’ve had the “fish fingers” at the Tierra del Sol Country Club Restaurant and found them very large and very tasty. Biggest “fingers” I’ve ever seen. I found the “fish and chips” at Blue Fin regrettable. (I have nothing against using tarter sauce with fish, and I love catsup with fries—or fries with my catsup. It’s just that REAL fish and chips MUST use salt and vinegar ONLY. Also, I’ve eaten at supposed British fish and chip places in the US and been sorely disappointed.)

Haddock Fish and Chips
 
My husband tried Fish and Chips at McGrady’s and Little Fin ( inside the Food Market). Both use Haddock, Little Fin excellent. I tried the Haddock tacos, in my opinion they were awful. We will go back to Little Fin for fish and chips but will take them home, The Market is too noisy.

If you like catfish, Stumpknockers on the River or in Inverness. They have other fish on the menu for those that don't like "fishy" fish. :1rotfl: Also a vote for Fisherman's Restaurant that you pass on the way to Inverness.

I thought that "chips" were the portion of the batter that falls off during the frying process. At least that's what happens when I have fried cod fish in beer batter at home a few times. Those little morsels are delicious.

Fisherman’s is always good, they have a great shrimp dinner

Bridget Staunton 09-20-2022 04:05 PM

When I had them they were not good, it must have been that evening. We like Millers

Bridget Staunton 09-20-2022 04:06 PM

Like stumpknockers for everything

vintageogauge 09-20-2022 04:14 PM

We tried them too at McGrady's Pub, very good and good size portions. World of Beer in Paddock Square has a pretty good one and I'll agree with the reply above for O'Shuck's on 301.

I lived for 2 years across the road from a fish and chips place in Scotland. The chips as mentioned above are the way they are served over there and I prefer. Malt vinegar and salt is a must. I have never had the chips done the way I like here. It never should be just french fries but chunks of potato. I was told the fish is always Cod.

Culver’s on 466A had excellent fish dinner.

Catfish is my favorite.

McGradys should have great fish and chips, but it’s average at best.

Bluefin has excellent fish and chips.

Had O'Shucks "Friday fish fry" this week for the first time. Was $11.99. Very large piece of tender haddock with a nice light and crispy batter. Excellent lightly coated french fries and a delicious large serving of coleslaw on the side to go with it. Malt vinegar was promptly provided once requested. They had a handful of the typical domestic beers on tap for $2. Looked to be a 12oz mug so still a decent deal.

I know the place looks somewhat sketchy on the outside, but was surprisingly clean with reasonable decor on the inside.

I will definitely return.

Depending on Ian, you might have fish & chips in your front yard.
