| - I've been enjoying excellent Fish & Chips since childhood...having been British educated and lived in Australia, I used to get them wrapped in newspaper.....the way it was done in the old days.....and I absolutely loved it! Then, trying to decide what to have fir lunch today, Gordon's Fish & Chips place popped up on yelp so I figured.....heck with my healthy eating, I'm in Vegas!....and proceeded to walk all the way here in the 106 degree dry heat to get a taste.
Located along the promenade next to The LINQ, it's very easy to spot as there aren't too many British flags and red telephone booth frontages in the whole of the USA, I would think. So in I popped and there was a line....very typical fast food concept....get in the line, decide what you want to order, watch the open kitchen cooks churning out the freshly fried chips (ok, fries in the US) and fish, etc. Then once you get to the order/cashier counter you place your order.....it may be a good idea to decide beforehand whether you want to upgrade the "dirty" flavors of your fries to one of the three choices on the board for an extra $2...otherwise you'll just get regular sea salt by default.....as well as choose 2 of the 5 available dipping sauces also on the board. If you don't know which ones you want beforehand the order/cashier lady may get a bit impatient and annoyed with you for holding up the line.....probably trained by Gordon himself.
Anyway, I ordered the Fish & Chip combo, added Dirty sauce #2 - Truffle, Parmesan, Chives to my chips.....and the Curry and Mango and Gordon's Tartar Sauce on the siide. The combos come with a fountain drink (actually, a touchscreen drinks machine)........condiments and plastic utensils located right next to the drinks machine.
I will say that, based on my long time love of fish & chips, this is perhaps one of the best batter fried fish I have ever had. The batter was not too light and not too heavy....just perfect.... and the white fish so fresh, smooth, and flaky. What really tops it all off were the side sauces. As much as I would have liked to go old school traditional and had it with vinegar, ketchup, and tartar sauce. But the sides I chose were different and still yummy nonetheless.
Ok, now for the chips......not my fave. I don't remember English chips having such a thick and chewy outside. The old chips of London and Australia I'm used to had a very thin, light, and crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy potato on the inside.....there was hardly any soft and fluffy potato on the inside. I ate my chips hoping that it may have been just a few and things would get better, but I quit after having finished just a third of it since I really didn't enjoy them very much. Yea yea yea, if Gordon found out about what I just said, I'm sure he'd be sharing another "F" word with me.
There's very limited seating here....kind of like a nice hold in the wall fish & chip joint....mostly counter seating with some just outside. Service as can be expected with a fast food takeaway place.
