| - This place is a solid 4, and possibly a 5 if you're only comparing the fish. It's a very casual, and maybe cramped, space. They do some interesting combinations, including a salmon fried in Guiness batter and a hake in Orange Crush, but all three of us ordered the daily special; blue cod in jalapeno batter. I also had a side of baked beans.
The beans were decent, and the fries were pretty good. The fish was the great part. Lightly battered, flavorful fish, filling but not leaving you feeling stuffed. If I had just had a larger order of the fish with nothing else, the meal would have been even better.
We decided to go for broke and order the Fried Whatever; they deep fry whatever candy bars they have lying around, and serve it with ice cream ($1.50 extra) for $5.00. It took awhile, but eventually 2 plates of 3 deep fried Reeses cups each, and one with a deep fried Snickers bar, were set down.
Indulgent? Of course, but I've occasionally tried deep-fried candies (they're disgustingly popular at the New York State Fair) and these were actually pretty good. The batter didn't make you feel sick as you were eating it, as I tend to feel when thinking about just what "deep-fried" is. The ice cream wasn't great, but I'm a bit pickier with my ice cream than the average population, and this place is known for their fish, not their desserts.
