Don’t expect any fancy table service, flattery, or sympathy here—you're here for one thing only: Fish and Chips! Served from an old wooden boat on a trailer, no less! Don’t expect any extra effort on your behalf. The line was long, but no one seemed to mind. I even had my friend sit down in line to avoid getting tired. While we waited, I chatted with others and asked how they liked the Fish and Chips, and everyone raved: “the best, worth the wait, I come here every week.” When you see the locals coming back regularly, you know it’s not just some online hype. By the time we received our six orders, each one was spot-on! Perfectly crispy without being overly crunchy or greasy, which is crucial. The fish was fresh and well-coated, and the batter had a great complementary flavor. This is how Fish and Chips should be done. Without a doubt, it’s one of the best Fish and Chips spots I’ve ever been to!

We ordered two servings of Fish and Chips and took them to a nearby picnic table. The fish was good and crispy, although the pieces were on the smaller side, which made the coating-to-fish ratio a bit off. The chips were long and distinctly English. My sons weren’t fans, but they were reminiscent of traditional fries served in paper. Plus, they haven't yet realized that pouring vinegar over everything is the way to go. Once they figure that out, they’ll understand why larger fries are better—they soak up the perfect amount of vinegar! My oldest was still hungry and enjoyed the fish enough to brave the now-doubled line. I deducted a star for two reasons: first, there were no napkins, and second, tartar sauce is automatically included with the order whether you want it or not. I tried to skip it to avoid wasting more plastic, but that didn’t happen. Additionally, I noticed an older woman struggling to read the partially erased dry-erase board menu and when she tried to ask a question, she was snapped at. Thankfully, another customer stepped in to help her out.
