Upon delivery, we sat back to take it in. It reminded me of a puzzle. Not in the way that describes some kind of disharmony, but that all the pieces were present to make this meal complete. The batter was a darker shade than usual, probably due to the Guinness. The fries were of the medium sized variety and most likely double dipped to create a crispy golden brown appearance. The Tartar Sauce looked rich and creamy. The aroma was overwhelmingly delicious. All these components turned intoxicating, heightened our euphoria, and transformed us into pondering philosophical geniuses.

Megan, our server, who eats fish and chips twice a week, was right in her conviction. They were exceptional!
