| - Highland Fish and Chips offers excellent fish and chips. Wowie. Went in for a quick Friday afternoon take out and boy oh boy, I guess I'm not going back to Malt n Salt after this experience. Granted, Malt n Salt is so much closer to home but for HFC's light and crispy battered haddock and cod, I'm willing to do the extra 8 min drive.
I ordered a haddock and chips and a cod and chips and added an extra piece of fish to both orders. People, unless you're a seriously big eater, do not do this. My husband who loves anything fried, could barely finish his order and I gave up after half way into my second piece of fish. Their chips, although quiet good, ended up getting neglected and a lot of them just got tossed at the end of the meal.
Both fish were battered and fried to order in HFC's light and crispy batter. Two things I really dislike in fish and chips, one being thick heavy batter (which usually makes for too oily a fish) and the other being unnaturally formed (you know the perfect square kind), HFC is neither. You can see the lady manning the deep fryer as she drops each fillet of freshly battered fish gingerly into the hot oil. The fish comes out nice and light and perfectly yummy. Their chips were double fried goodness also.
I think this experience could have only been better had we actually ate them on the spot in their dining room. Will definitely try that next time.
Minus 1 points for using tartar sauce packets. I know, I know, not too many places make their own tartar sauce but I still can't get used to the idea of serving such superior fish and chips with your run of the mill tartar sauce out of packets.
