Tartar sauce is also good and they have a number of other sauces available. --["ArlenAbraham"]	+ ''2005-04-04 20:10:01'' [[nbsp]] I'm not much of a fish and chips conniseur, but I found it damn tasty.

- ''2005-04-04 21:10:00'' [[nbsp]] I really like this place. Its offerings are pleasantly incongruous to my perceptions of ["Downtown"], and I've have always found the women who work there to be very friendly. I've enjoyed many of their seafood offerings, but I keep returning to the plain old fish and chips. Except for novelty purposes, I wouldn't recommend the deep fried twinkies. The batter was too thick, the Twinkie "cake" wasn't caramelized, and the filling was piping hot. That said, I'm not a Twinkie fan in the first place. --["CraigBrozinsky"]	+ ''2005-04-04 21:10:00'' [[nbsp]] I really like this place.

- ''2005-04-04 22:30:03'' [[nbsp]] Deep fried snickers bars are quite excellent. Much better than the twinkies.

- ''2005-04-28 00:58:28'' [[nbsp]] I had the ribs tonight. Yuk. They're greasy, lacking in any interesting flavor, and are really difficult to separate. It seemed more like pulled pork with bones in it. I respect them for trying out the new item, but you're best off sticking to the seafood, especially the shrimp and scallops. Both are very yummy and go well with tartar sauce. --["CraigBrozinsky"]	+ ''2005-04-28 00:58:28'' [[nbsp]] I had the ribs tonight. Yuk.

- ''2005-05-18 17:16:23'' [[nbsp]] The main lady who runs this place is really really really nice. If you've eaten there at least once or twice and she remembers you, she'll give you a bonus. She's really kind to all the college kids who are kind/polite in turn. Even when the only customers (in the entire place) were my gf and I, she "accidentally" made extra fish, shrimp, clams, fries, etc. Sometimes "the fish were kinda small so I make extra" or "I know you like the shrimp, enjoy!" This has happened to me numerous times, and it's not the reason I recommend this place - I love fish and chips. If she does give you extra, you end up getting way more food then can eat. A lot of people tend to save it for the needy, which is pretty cool. --["EdWins" ES]	+ ''2005-05-18 17:16:23'' [[nbsp]] The main lady who runs this place is really really really nice.

- ''2005-06-02 18:09:22'' [[nbsp]] Owners are extremely nice. They'll sometimes give you free drinks or a bigger portion of food. Personally I'm a big fan of the fried zucchini and mushrooms. The fish, shrimp and chips are good as well. I also tried out their new menu items: chicken kabob and fried calimari(if that's how you spell it) rings and they were super awesome. Great service as well. --["BenLee"]	+ ''2005-06-02 18:09:22'' [[nbsp]] Owners are extremely nice. They'll sometimes give you free drinks or a bigger portion of food.

They also let me sample some of their new items they are planning to put out such as Cashew shrimp with a sweet sauce and Spicy Jalepeño Calimari. These samplers were sooooo good.

- ''2005-09-15 01:47:13'' [[nbsp]] Most of the comments here are related to the Winnie era of London Fish & Chips. Winnie, the kindly lady who often cooked plenty extra for regular customers, sold the business to Mr. and Mrs. Lee. They are restauranteurs of great caliber and you will almost always find Mr. Lee manning the fry vats now. Yes, the pitchers are still $6. Mr. Lee has added some traditional Chinese favorites to the menu, including Spicy Baked Prawns, which he deep frys and then sautees with various seasonings and Jalapeno peppers. This is also available in Calamari. For the gentleman who commented on the ribs, this was a short lived phenomenon, and is no longer available due to lack of interest. The Lee family is very friendly, and very accomodating. If you come by on a friday night, ask for Chris, I'll probably be out front drinking pitchers. :-) --["ChrisLambertus"] - * As will ["JessicaLuedtke"] and ["PopeChristof"] with somewhat less regularity.	+ ''2005-09-15 01:47:13'' [[nbsp]] Most of the comments here are related to the Winnie era of London Fish & Chips.
