So I wake up on Sunday morning with a killer hang over... Drank way too much for my own good the night before. My girlfriend was feeling just as bad, if not worse than me. So what could be a better cure for this sickness if not some good old greasy food? We decided to go for fish and chips since it's one of the few meals we can always agree on and we found this place which was only 5 minutes from my house.
We placed the order for pick up and my girlfriend specifically said that we want an additional piece of fish on each portion. After we picked up the food, we returned to my house and realized that the genius who took our order did not add an extra piece of fish as my girlfriend had specified. This was actually a good thing considering the entire meal was THE MOST DISGUSTING FISH AND CHIPS I have ever had.
I don't usually mind if they put a lot of batter on the fish, but I DO when half of it is still raw. The fish had absolutely no flavor and it was definitely not fresh. The fires were just awful and there was no coleslaw. My girlfriend only took a few bites before she got really nauseous and went to the washroom (mind you it was also from the hangover). I have a much stronger stomach and growing up in Easter Europe, I learned not to throw away food, especially when you pay restaurant prices for it. I sucked it up and finished that meal, getting angrier and angrier with every bite I took.
At the end of it all I was not happy with myself and I wasn't at all happy with this pathetic excuse for a Fish & Chips restaurant. The only reason I would go back there is to tell the owner/manager that he should look for another career. I also wish I could give this place 0 stars because it was probably one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences I've had, not because it was just terrible in every possible way, but because HOW CAN YOU F**K UP FISH AND CHIPS???? That being said, I eat out 3-5 a week so who knows, maybe I just have higher standards. If you live in this area and want a good plate of Fish & Chips go to Martin Grove Fish & Chips. They have wayyyy better service and they food actually tastes good.
