Joan took me out for dinner tonight. She was in the mood for fish, so she took me to the Fisherman’s Market, a working fish store that also serves meals.
I had the cod and chips. The cod was exceptionally good; one of the best fried fish meals I’ve ever had. I rarely eat more than 5% of fish & chip batter and I ate all of it tonight! The batter was crisp, non-greasy, and did not have that icky taste of old oil. The chips were what I call ‘waffle-types’ and very good, with the skin on them. The meal came with a creamy honey-poppy seed coleslaw that was disappointingly bland. I also had the choice of two tartar dipping sauces, but I don’t like mayo so I asked for lemon and was given a several slices of the fruit instead.
This restaurant is yet another case of being grateful for a local guide. Thanks for dinner, Joan!
I often pass a “Tugboat” fish and chips take out place, and one of these days I won’t be able to resist. It won’t be half as good as the fish you had though.
OK, my mouth is watering! I am currently helping my friend Les through an electrical problem which is a little difficult as he is in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. He has promised me a fish and chip dinner on the dock in Campbell River in payment. I can taste it already.
Now I have a reason to stop in Eugene!
You’d LOVE this place.
They have all sorts of fish ‘n chips, not just cod, including halibut and salmon, plus a bunch of other dishes.
Ohh, I’m drooling too. It’s been years since I had a decent fish and chip meal – not since I was last in New Zealand, in fact.
