| - This place has one redeeming quality, seriously just one. The fish sandwich is legit. But the owner and the restaurant, quite bad. I alluded to the proprietor of this establishment in relation to the "Soup Nazi" from Seinfeld, however that might be too harsh a comparison, for the Soup Nazi that is.
The good. Fish is huge, lightly battered, HUGE, and wait for it...Seasoned. It's not too greasy either. Definitely one of the best I have had. Many people rave about the hot sauce. I could take it or leave it. Everyone I know that eats here loves it, but to me it has the consistency (and color) of a duck sauce packet at a Chinese takeout restaurant with some chopped and possibly pickled as they are softer but not cooked, onions slightly spicy peppers and some seasoning. I think I can almost replicate it. It hardly classifies as hot sauce to me, lacking the first descriptive word in the phrase itself "hot". Also they only provide you with enough to use on maybe a quarter of your meal. Up to recently they would not sell any additional cups of sauce! They are only small soufflé cups of 2 oz portions but nope. However, now you can buy them for a mere .70 cents. The bun they use is ridiculous, but I am fine with that. I tend to ignore the bread on a nice fish sandwich. You can order additional buns, also at an exaggerated price of .70 cents. These are the kind of buns you can buy a bag at the grocery store for under $1.00 so if you're getting takeout I would just buy it elsewhere.
Now the size of the sandwich is unmatched. It can feed two adults to the point of being stuffed. It could probably feed three people nicely, hence the attraction of buying additional buns. The flavor is awesome and the crunch and crust just perfect.
Now the not so good. The place is a complete dive. Not a charming dive, a grease pit, smelly, sticky, restaurant that really, really needs some TLC. It appears it hasn't been cleaned in decades. Another not so charming thing about the establishment is the owners. They have no qualms telling you no even for reasonable requests without having a understandable reason. Point in case. Me and 3 co-workers head here for lunch. One co-worker calls ahead so meal is ready when we arrive not cutting into our lunch hour. Upon arrival we say who we are at the counter and they start packing up our food. My co-worker said oh we want to eat here since we all drove there. The answer is NO. You called ahead you take to go. I looked at my co-worker and asked "is he serious?" He just nodded and said let it go. HA! Hence the Soup Nazi comment. So instead of letting us eat there where we would have undoubtedly purchased drinks, maybe a side or two we were booted out of the empty restaurant for the crime of calling ahead. A few weeks later I was in the area at another retailer and asked this proprietor if he knows the restaurant and owners and what's up with them. He first said "best fish sandwich around." I said yes but what's up with them? He says "you think the man's bad the wife is worse." He went on to tell me that they are so popular they couldn't care less about being professional or polite to customers because if someone gets that upset about the service well move over because there is someone behind you ready to take their place. He also said that once someone called in a takeout order for salad (BTW they don't serve salads) and the person taking the call told the customer to F off, and hung up. See Soup Nazi in the dictionary for further explanation.
Still a damn good fish. The fish alone is 5 stars. I'll be back. Cash only.
