Long John Silver's
Yeah, it's gross. But every now and then I get a hankerin' for their hushpuppies.

Long John Silvers in Bryan, and sadly I'm not joking.
I think I saw where Moe's Irish Pub is coming to Century Square. Good fish and chips.
Wish we had a Catfish King here.

I've had the ones at Murphy's Law. They weren't half bad, which makes them the best in town.
Seriously: Fox & Hound. It's the only passable place in town for faux British fare.
Flame away, but Cheddar's had surprisingly good fish & chips the last time I tried it.
I did not know Cheddars had fish and chips, they have fried catfish but do not recall seeing fish and chips on the menu
And they've only had one set menu, never adding or deleting items, since the inception of the restaurant.
Growing up on the Atlantic coast of Canada, I know the difference between fish & chips and fried catfish.

BJ's has the best fish and chips I've had in this town (not saying much). The Fox & Hound fish and chips suggested above were among the worst I've ever had.
Oh, forgot about BJ's Brew Pub. Yes, that's superior to F&H. It really is hard to find quality Fish & Chips here.
Man, i love a good fish and chips with malt vinegar. hopefully Moe's Irish Pub will deliver. I'm sure no one will get this reference, but i first fell in love with fish n chips while growing up in Houston in the 70's eating at a place called Alfie's Fish n Chips.
Boneheads has a decent fish in chips.
Ditto Hammerheadjim.

In fact the building is still there - It's now the home of Roadrunner Auto Sales, across the street from Readfield Meats (you can still see the faux Old English timber frame facade if you look close enough).

Cotton Patch has Shiner fish and chips. Good stuff.
My husband is from England and his favorite here locally has been at Cotton Patch. Others that he has tried he wasn't too impressed. CP is where he goes when he gets the hankerin'
Maybe Peter Madden or Tai Lee will see this and hook us up by offering it again on one of the food trucks. Madden did Shiner Bock fish & chips with cilantro lime tarter sauce. Amazing.
Cotton Patch on Boonville.

Ditto the one at Cotton Patch.
Apparently there is still an Alfie's in Texas City.
Ship Wreck,,,,
Just remembered that DQ now has a decent fish 'n chips. Not in the same league as Madden's but it's actually halfway decent.
Cotton Patch has the malted vinegar you can drizzle over it. They do a good job and serve enough to split w someone else
if you you don't use the malt vinegar, you are not eating true fish n chips.
FWIW, read a review of Zand's Persian Kebabs on Yelp that praised their fish and chips. The chef apparently worked in Ireland and learned to make them there.
Ketchup>malt vinegar

Alfie's started in 1969 as a franchise. Opening hundreds of stores in the first few years was too much, too fast. The Alfie's corporation went bankrupt in 1972. Since then each store has been family owned and operated. The first Alfie's is still there in Texas City, Texas (near Galveston). The Lompoc location (#27!) was opened in 1969 by a Scottish couple Jack & Margaret Cairney. They passed it on to their daughter Colleen Staffel. In 2001, Colleen sold the business to Mike and Nellie Sewall. They have been successful at keeping the quaint English cottage feel and family atmosphere. They even kept all the original recipes while adding many of their own.

thanks for the tip! I'm going to give them a try...maybe 1 order of fish n chips and 1 of kebabs.
Kluay Kluay was the last hole in the wall we tried and did not disappoint! Outstanding Thai food.
Hope everyone is safe! crazy weather.
Ugh... that malt vinegar smells like old, stale beer... not sure how people can stomach that.
quote:The one time I tried them they were more like fish sticks than what I think of as fish and chips. Boneheads uses pollock. Classic fish and chips are cod or haddock.
Boneheads has a decent fish in chips.
