  • I don't get it!!! I want to say that this is the first fish fry I got food at, so I don't have anything to compare it to other than the fish I make at home. Having said that I don't understand the hype and yes the only reason I gave it a try is that I was so intrigued by the great reviews and the wonderful praise on Andrew Zimmern's Bizarre Food. I drove 1/2 hr for takeout having high hopes. It took more than 5 mins. to get into the very packed parking lot. They had an off duty police officer helping with the parking but he wasn't much help. Told me to drive backwards down one lane and pull into a spot that opened up. As I zigzaged around the horribly parked cars another car pulled out of their spot and tried to get out. They totally blocked me. No problem, I decided to just find parking on the street. I actually am glad I did that rather than risking my car getting dinged. I walk into the building and the line wrapped around the hall with no ending in sight. I decide to join the crowd. I felt like I was in a Sienfeld episode waiting for the Soup Natzi's glorious soup. Most off the people around me were first timers. I did however find some people that have had their fish fry before and they swore that it was very good. Then another guy told me that it was all about the experience. Hearing this and that the wait was 1 hour really pumped me up. I really thought that I found a hidden gem. I stood in line for 20 minutes seeing people leaving with takeout bags. I finally asked one person if the wait was actually 1 hour. Luckly this individual told me that I could bypass the long line and go up and place my order once I entered the hall. So I did just that. Let me say that the wait is so long to sit and eat because the hall is rather small. I found my way around, BTW no one to really guide those first timers where to go for take out. I asked the girl who was taking the orders to explain the difference between the Fish Dinner and the Fish Platter and after learning that the fish dinner comes with coleslaw and fries I decided to go with that. Another 20 minutes later I got my meal. I do have to say that one nice thing is that they do have a bar you can get drinks at but since I was driving, no drink for me. Another 1/2 hour drive back home and feeling very excited to try the meal. I get home and open my box only to find out that they messed up my order. No coleslaw!!! I try the fish by itself before dunking it into their homemade tartar sauce. No Salt, No Pepper, No Seasoning, NADA. This equaled to NO FLAVOR! Then there were the fries. Again plain as day. So I'm thinking that maybe they don't season anything because there were sooo many elderly folks there (no offense) that maybe they are on salt restrictions for health reasons. But come on, throw me at least a pinch of salt. I can say though that their tartar sauce was very good, but I did not go there for their tartar sauce. End conclusion: This place is popular with those that either don't really like to cook their own fish or with those that have not eaten better fish. The fact that this got such great feedback from Andrew Zimmern is BIZARRE!
