This place is - in a word - dope.
Every time I come here, I order food. Every time I order food, I wonder why exactly I eat anywhere else.
The fish is super fresh, the chips doubly so.
What's more - they serve lumpia as a side. The dopeness of the lumpia really interacts with the dopeness of the rest of the menu in a fantastic way. -

This place is the cutest. When you walk in you feel like you've been transported to a little shop in a seaside village. The walls are complete with huge framed posters depicting all manner of fish and their facts.
They aren't just a fish and chips place as they offered other types of seafood in fried form like oysters, scallops, and fish. I wasn't super hungry so I decided to go with the 1 piece fish and chips for $6.25 with a side order of hush puppies for $2.45 to share. The prices being so good actually pushed me to make that side order. You'll note that on the sides portion of the menu you can order tartar sauce but each main you order will come with tartar sauce anyways. So you might only need it if you get one of the bigger combos. The kitchen and the fryer is pretty open so I saw them prepping our order fresh. You won't be getting any ready-fried fish that's been sitting under a heat lamp!
My order was a to-go order and had to wait 15~ minutes before being consumed. I have to say it held up really well in the car ride in the paper bag. Even after the trip the fish was still super crisp. The piece of fish was pretty big with little extra batter or air and I felt pretty full after that single piece. The fish is a white fish and was pretty delicate in its flavor. The fries were more of the rough cut chips that had a bit of crisp to them but not to the extreme. The hush puppies were a good accompaniment and made for the perfect bit of variation to the meal. -

My kids liked the fish and chips here a lot! The oil smell is a bit strong but I suppose it's hard to avoid when frying different seafood together. Anyhow, whenever we shop at Dick's sporting Good we make a detour and grab ourselves some fried seafood goodness here.

Awesome fish and chips! This place has a very straightforward and simple menu and they make everything to order. The fish was super moist and the batter is not oily but thick and crunchy. Their fries were cooked perfectly too. We noticed they had daily specials too so you can try other fried dishes and pair the fish up with calamari or prawns too. I also noticed how clean the place was kept and all the tables, condiments and dispensers were spotless - something I don't notice often but is very appreciated! Service was friendly and the food came pretty fast. Beware of taking the first bite too quickly, the food comes super hot!
