Today's Food Porn: Fish & Chips [View all]
Had a long talk with the cook today. He's a stickler for keeping the fryer oil clean and changed regularly and you can taste it. The Board of Health did a "spot check" recently and gave this place a 99. The reason they lost a point is that they had JUST MADE a batch of mac & cheese (100% made from scratch), which has a HIGH turnover rate, but they hadn't yet put a "use by" date on it.
The fries are crisp and you don't taste oil at all, just potato with the right amount of salt. I tried a piece of the fish (I'd been there with a friend and we'd both split a Philly Cheese Steak and Shrimp Skewers, so we had to make room...)
Batter was light, crisp, fish was "not fishy," delicious, moist, and like the fries, not oily at all. Tomorrow's special is the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and I'll be taking pics of that too. Stay tuned...
