The Menu: The Best Fish & Chips in Town!

...and this is not any declaration, that really is the name of the dish!

So you're probably inside my party now, feeling hot and bothered with all the other hot and bothered people. You have to make sure though that you've left at least two empty master bed rooms in your stomach because main dishes are about to be served. This first one is definitely a catch! Pun intended.

Two years ago I was left alone here in the country with only my sister because everyone else in the family went to the US to visit my other sister who would be giving birth to the now beautiful and oh-so charming little lady named Sophia. (Do you agree that all ladies named Sophia are beautiful? Because honestly, I haven't met any ugly Sophia. LOL.) I had to stay here because of school. BOO. While my sister, I don't know. Probable because of work? Or maybe because she just got back also from the States so it would be a waste of money of course to go back again. Mother dearest and the rest spent time abroad for over two months. That was during the last quarter of the month, October-December if I remember correctly. During those times I felt like I had the whole house by myself because sister was at work every night, then my schedule ended also at night so by the time I got home, she's already gone. By the time I wake up, she's not yet here or she's already sleeping. We got to talk during weekends only or through text. Haha!

There was one night though that she didn't have to go to work and she asked me if I wanted to have dinner which of course I agreed to at once. (I was so tired of having canned goods or take-out fastfood for dinner!) She asked me to meet her in the mall nearby home. I didn't care about the tiresome train ride because I just wanted to eat and I wanted so much for us to have some quality time together. After all, it was only the two us who were here so we'd better spend time together than feel sorry for not being in New York or in Rome! (Yes! They went to Rome and Paris! What the hell right?!) When we met, she told me she'd take me to Fish & Co. I've heard of the restaurant before, especially during 4th year high when people from the said restaurant went to school to hand out fliers and graduation promo coupons. I never tried it. Sister very much knew about it though, she told me what were their bestsellers. (I still remember that strawberry lemonade which was amaaazing! In fact, that's going to be the drink for the party)I ordered myself...

The Best Fish & Chips in Town!


The Best Fish & Chips in Town is Fish & Co.'s specialty! (Duh.) I wouldn't disagree though on the dish's name because it is indeed the best fish and chips I had ever. I'm a big fan of the dish and I must say that no restaurant ever came close to Fish & Co.'s version. The fillet is fried, soft, and definitely not foul-smelling unlike others. It is topped with melted butter and a bit of parsley to have that little rough but most absolutely delicious taste. Along with that are fries, not your Mcdonald's fries, these are real potatoes like those in NYFD! Upon being served this dish you'd think you can't eat it because it's a huge serving but you'd be surprised you'd finish it in an instant. It's that yummy! Since then I have been such a big fan of this meal. Although pricey, it's definitely worth it!

Have a bite!
