Fish and chips in Boulder??

[liveloveat34]

Hi Hounds,

Hubby and I are craving some good fish and chips- I've seen them on the menu at many restaurants in Boulder, but does anyone have suggestions on their favorite place to get it?

TIA! Looking forward to hearing your recs!

This isn't a rec, since I haven't tried it (though I keep meaning to), but there's a place on the DU campus called Spanky's Roadhouse that does Wisconsin-style fish fries with walleye and perch...

I haven't had their fish and chips but I have eaten there twice before - both times were pretty tasty.

The Rocky Flats bar (that sketchy looking little shack on highway 93 as you leave Boulder heading south) has a great Friday night fish fry. I brought a friend from Wisconsin, and she swore this was the real thing. Not gourmet, but tasty and definitely worth it for the atmosphere alone.

I am quite fond of the fish and chips at the hungry toad at Broadway and North. You can
get and adult portion, 4 piece or kids size with 2 pieces.

The Scotch Corner has my favorite fish & chips in town. Their Scotch Egg is pretty darn good, too. A close second for me is the Hungry Toad.

Thanks! I love scotch eggs (and haggis too :-P ) We will definitely go there soon!

Hope you made it to the Scotch Corner. They went out of business late in '09.

On Tuesday night, the Southern Sun has fish and chips. And the Walnut Brewery has interesting fish and chips, made with smoked salmon.

I've always wanted to try the version at WB- How is it?

[LurkerDan]

I haven't had it in years, and I've never considered myself a fish and chips aficionado, but I thought it was good. Certainly non-traditional, but again, I'm not huge on fish and chips so that appealed to me.

[Brewncue]

The WB F&C are, indeed, different, but really good. The battered salmon combo works quite well - you just have to get used to the pink inside. It's one of my favorites on the menu...after the beer, of course.

[liveloveat34]

awesome- i love salmon so it should be a no brainer, thanks for the input!

Conor O'Neill's, because they're really cheap during happy hour (till 7 p.m.) and part of their Mon and Tues night specials. It's on 13th Street between Pearl and Walnut.

[liveloveat34]

great! thanks Claire- I'm all about HH food specials. We'll definitely try it out

Liveloveat34 - You can see pix of their HH apps at http://culinary-colorado.blogspot.com/2008/08/conor-oneils-of-course.html and http://culinary-colorado.blogspot.com...

We tried Conor O'Neils- they no longer offer the FnC for happy hour but on mondays you can get it for 7.99 with a free beer. We split the 11.99 portion which was 3 deck size pieces of fish plus mediocre potato logs. This came with coleslaw which was pretty bland.
Not too impressed with the fish so the search for a decent version continues....

LiveLoveEat 34 - Sorry that Conor O'Neil's disappointed, pricewise and taste-wise. When we were there, they were still pretty good. Ironically, I just unearthed a happy hour menu from Brasserie Ten Ten (1010 Walnut). I was ready to search down the thread to add a post, but because of your comment, it was up near the top. I'd quite forgotten that they have/had fish 'n chips Their version is/was beer-battered tilapia, remoulade sauce (no Sysco-delivered tartar sauce here), fries and cole slaw. It is/was $6. Maybe worth a try?

[liveloveat34]

oh thanks for reminding me! i did see that too and have been meaning to try it out. thanks!

Drive down to GB Fish and Chips on Broadway in Denver and get the cod. Hot, fresh, fantastic.
