After being silent the entire journey to @fiveguys which was where we had planned to have dinner, our Uber driver surprised us by pointing to an old, one-storey building as we were alighting, and said, “That’s the best place for fish and chips in town”. Me being me, immediately decided we had to give @oldeyorke a try.
I don’t know if it was the best given that we had not had the same dish on this trip to compare it with but we agreed the Halibut we ordered here was very good indeed. We had picked it based on our server’s recommendation and found its dense meatiness firm and clean tasting which we enjoyed. The battered coating was not the super thin kind but regardless, it married well with the fish as it was really crunchy and remarkably free of oiliness. Although it came with a faultless tartare sauce, I preferred to spam my Halibut and chips (fat, chunky fries) with malt vinegar. The accompanying cole slaw was decent as well.
