| - Stopped in to Claddagh for the first time after years of driving past the place. A co-worker and I were in the mood for fish n chips on a fine Friday. When we arrived I remarked that Claddaugh looked like a store on the outside. When we walked in the decor was dark and I liked it. The place was large and there were plenty of open seats...too many actually. There were very few people in the place, but I expected it to be full.
We were immediately seated near a warm fireplace. Within a minute a server was taking our drink orders. We reviewed the menu and I saw a fish sandwich for $9.99. Pricey, I thought, so I looked for the fish n chips. The fish n chips were $14.99! That's the most expensive fish n chips I've ever heard of. Still, we both ordered the dish. Within 7 minutes, I our food arrived.
There was a huge chunk of battered, deep fried fish before us. The fries were plump and golden cooked. There was a side of coleslaw included as well. It all looked delicious! The fish was piping hot so I let it cool for a moment while I tasted the fries. They were deliciously seasoned and cooked right. The fish was delicious too. It was white, flaky, and very tasty. It fell apart just as I would expect. The fish batter was also delicious. It was crunchy on the outside and had a good flavor. I ate every bit of the fish, but I couldn't finish my fries. It was a large portion. The fish was very satisfying. With drink, my tab came to $18.99. With tip, my lunch was $21...double what I normally pay. I'll keep this place in mind, but not for lunch.
