OMG, are you kidding? As good as I grew up with back in Ireland / England.
Run, don't walk, to Fish and Chips in Ensenada. Everything is homemade!
The fish is same day fresh from the local fish market. The batter is perfect, crispy and crunchy with every bite. I was shocked how good it was. The chips (fries) are hand-cut daily and deep fried to perfection. Not soggy and not too crispy, just perfect. The coleslaw (OMG) was just perfection and again home-made daily, as is their tarter sauce. The only thing served here that is not homemade daily is the ketchup and malt vinegar. Oh yes, they do indeed have malt vinegar, an essential condiment for fish and chips of this quality.
I went for the classic fish and chips, and was not disappointed. It was amazing. A large portion of 4 pieces of battered fish with a healthy portion of perfect chips. Enough to share with my wife. Along with two cokes, the total was US $11. A very fair price.
I noticed other fish and chips options on the menu to go along with the classic. Lemon flavor or chile flavor fish, or you can opt for a mix of both. I'll try that next time :)
They also offer other fish burgers, tacos etc. as well as other non fish options like beef burgers and club sandwiches, salads, juices etc. All homemade of course.
What makes this place so good? The dedication of the wonderful couple who own and run the place. The chef is genuinely proud of the food he makes to order. They have perfected their food over the past 3 years yet they still come out to ask for feedback on everything. You can see the passion for what they do.
So, these days there is no excuse for missing such a great little place. Jump on your favorite map app on your phone, type in fish and chips Ensenada and follow the directions to fish and chip perfection. Tell them the Irish guy sent you and you can thank me later :)
Cheers
