Fish N' Chips

[SST Flies]

After 45-years in the Northwest I am having a hard time finding good fish n' chips in the Sacramento area. The Elkhorn Saloon has been my favorite so far, but still looking for "that place" where I want to stop and eat once a week! Any recommendations?

If you're located in Sacramento, you could try Finz Seafood on the south side of Fair Oaks Blvd near Howe Avenue. Another option is Crawdad's Marina Cafe on Garden Hwy west of I-5. Both serve fish n chips. I've tried the fish n chips at Finz, it was good with large portions and Cole slaw. Haven't tried them at Crawdads. Not sure whether fish n chips is served at the Virgin Sturgeon or not. There's always Long John Silvers....

I haven't found it yet either. Last night I had F&C at 33rd St. Bistro. It was disappointing. I think it was tilapia, which was enough to make it disappointing. But the batter was mushy, which is an automatic fail on F&C. But here's my take on this: Once you've had halibut F&C, everything else is going to be an also-ran. Keep us posted if you find the F&C Holy Grail.

I might be buying another boat (15' aluminum V-bow Klamath) just to go to Lawson's Landing with our motor home to fish, clam and crab inside Tomales Bay for mostly halibut and an occasional Striper just to get some fresh ocean fish to eat.

Our son, daughter-in-law and grand kids just bought a new 22' trailer so looks like we will be RVing for a while longer.

Hard to find really fresh fish in a restaurant in California....

Best f n c is Phil's fish market in Moss Landing. One plate will feed 2 people. Also the Cioppino is great. He beat Bobby Flay in a throwdown

Try 19 Handles Pub on the corner of Arden and Eastern in Sacramento. They have really good fish and chips.
