| - We ordered fish and chips (haddock and cod). The first few bites (or really, chomps, since those are big-sized portions you're diving into) were awesome - the fish was fresh and 'juicy', while the batter tasted almost like unsweetened crispy donut (a good thing). So after the first few bites, I was all ready to give Sea Witch a 5 star rating and anoint it as one of the best fish and chips places in the city.
And maybe it still is for some people. But after getting through maybe a third of my haddock, and after my wife got through a third of her cod, we were just so overwhelmed by the amount of batter and ready to give up. Now I know I said the batter tasted good, but this was a bit too too too much. We ordered the slaw on the side (not bad, not amazing) and started wolfing it down just to get a different taste, but the batter wouldn't be defeated. Eventually, it overwhelmed even the fish, which is unfortunate because, again, the fish was really good (taste and quality).
Now this may be just personal taste, but I'd much rather have the fish as king in my fish and chips. At Sea Witch though, the batter seems to be the star.
