Side by each is how we park the park.

The warm water fish they serve down here can't compare to cold water fish. The best fish for fish and chips is served in England and is called plaice. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Wish we could get it outside of Jolly Old England.

The potato coated fish is to die for . . . the best anywhere!!! I do at least one trip to Woonsocket and Ye Old English Fish and Chip each year!

I have been to a few places this side of the Atlantic that can replicate bangers and mash but not fish and chips. In the UK and Ireland their fish is usually fresh and therein lies the difference. I know of a place near St. Augustine that does a decent job and they also have mushy peas and they have ESP bitter.

I agree fish & chips needs to be haddock.
Went to Athens tonight for the first time. Mrs. Bosox & I had the fish & chips and were very impressed.Talked to the owner & the fish is delivered twice a week by truck from Boston! Try it I think you'll like it!!

If my wife and I want fish and chips, we head straight to The Lighthouse and we never walk away disappointed.

I too will second Athens-when we were down in Oct we made sure to try it out. The haddock is excellent just like the fish from New York where they get it from. We were not disappointed at all. I believe it be hard to beat!!

That sounds great but too bad their haddock is frozen from china. with the cost of fresh haddock being so high it's not affordable too bring in fresh from Boston.

Bosoxfan: When I posted this back on Oct. 14th, I was surprised that there were few responses from anyone trying Athens Restaraunt fish and chips. I'm glad you tried it and would urge anyone who appreciates good fish and chips (haddock) to also give it a try. As a native Bostonian I knew you would have to enjoy this meal. Go Celtics?????
Oh, forgot----no NBA this year!!!!

My son sent us a care package from "legal seafood" a couple of weeks ago. A real treat. Also, the mrs & I spotted a place on 27 a while back, and I need to ride back down there(on the south side of leesburg ) and try it. It was called Boston Fish fry. Has anyone been there??

Anyone familiar with seafood in New Bedford or Fall River,Ma? Since New Bedford is one of the largest fishing ports in the country, we were brought up on fish and chips, scallops, fried clams, clam boils, etc. Seemed like every neighborhood in those 2 cities had a small seafood restaurant or Portuguese restaurant. Nothing like an order of Portuguese style fish and chips (fried and served with sauteed onions and peppers with a light red broth), a bowl of clam chowder, and a stuffie (stuffed quahog)! One thing I would love to see down here is clam cakes. The places we've been to serve hush puppies, and I bet they could figure out a clam cake. Now with that being said, We've found some really good seafood around here. We enjoyed the whole belly fried clams, shrimp and scallops at Sam St John on 441, and the fried shrimp and scallops at Fishermans Cove in Inverness on 44, are top shelf. Not like home, but pretty close. And just because their not like home, it doesn't mean not as good, just a little different. But like some have said, there's nothing like that cold water Atlantic haddock, and fresh cod makes for fish and chips every bit as good!

At the beginning when they first opened you were right with this statement.The owner took the time to explain to us last night that his original supplier sold him fish from a company called Atlantic Fish but when he read the package he found that it was from Taiwan. He has since found a company that delivers fish from Boston twice a week to a restaurant in Miami so he hired them to bring his fish ! All I can say is it's as close to new England Fish that we've had in the 2 1/2 years we've been here!
