Damn. I really wanted to love their fish. All of the staff were so nice. We were welcomed with open arms. We learned they opened in 2021. What a success story during COVID times. There definitely was pride in ownership. Our waitress Nicole was so personable. We felt like regulars. Even joked about the “doorbells that have no purpose” all over the dining room. Beer selection was good. Something for everyone’s taste. A nice curved bar with an area to wait for a table if need be. No reservations on Fridays during lent and the parking is on the street. So onto the fish fry. It wasn’t bad… but it wasn’t good either. Skinless haddock which was a wee bit dry. Beer Batter was ok. Not very crispy but at least it wasn’t soggy. (6) I believe the tartar and coleslaw were the standard mass produced variety and bought in a bucket. The mac salad and potato salad were homemade but they both were a mustard base. One side heavy on the mustard is enough for anyone. It was like they used the same dressing and veggies for both just puttting rotini pasta in for the mac salad and red potatoes in the potato salad. I detected red onion, green pepper, and carrots in each. The mac was a little dry so I’d give the edge to the potato salad. (5) Fries were frozen crinkle cut. Boring. Hey at least they were crisp! (6) Overall rating is a 6.5. It was a huge portion of fish and they do offer a half size. Rye bread was ok. I’ve had better and worse that’s for sure. Other offerings included broiled (Cajun, lemon pepper, Italian and florentine) or panko breaded. The panko was the best of the lot. There seemed to be quite a buzz about their polish food selections. So stop by, skip the fish and get the Krakow chowder! It’s delicious!
