What would a trip to blighty be without a Fish and Chip stop? Muther Brit recommended we stop here…read moreto appease The Brit's desire for a good old traditional fish n' chips. She never told us the name, so when we arrived we were enamoured with the creative genius that is "The Codfather." The shop is lovely, clean and nicely decorated. There are pictures from the movie all over the shop, as well as neat old shots of the own from way back when. I would say that if you're going to dine in, be prepared for some bad music as you dine. Luther Vandross and Celine Dion bad. The Codfather is a huge step above your typical greasy, standing room only fish fry shop, and equally steps above your run of the mill pub fish and chips. Now, I'm not connoisseur of fish and chips, and don't really like fish either, but The Brit's were happy with it and I could tell this was a nice place. Our servers were polite, smiling, lovely women ready to serve us and apologetic when they had to tell me they were out of the Butternut and Goat's cheese Pie I so deeply wanted. Yes, they do pies for those of you not fish wanting folks like me. However, I opted for the fish in an effort to honor my mother's only likable fish dish and to try something new. I ordered the medium cod fish with chips and garden peas. I fully claim that as an American who doesn't like fish, you should probably not trust my judgement on this meal. I found it dull and boring. However, the fish was not very greasy, and was light and flaky. The chips well crisped and the peas were, well, they were peas. Done to perfection I'd say. The Brit and Muther Brit were surprised at how dull I found it, but ever so happy with theirs. Muther Brit cleaned her plate faster than you can say "Fish and Chips" and said she only does so when she "really, really like something." The Brit also ordered a battered sausage, of which I tried and again and didn't like, but he enjoyed very much. Personally, it's the type of sausage that is used in battered sausage that I don't like. So, don't listen to the fact that I didn't like some of it and do your self a favor and eat at The Codfather.
