“The taste was not fresh and was definitely frozen fish for who knows how long, not freshly battered at all.”

A nearly empty Monterey seafood restaurant Roger and a UK-based friend tried for fish and chips, rating it only 2 stars after receiving small, clearly frozen portions with hard, poorly textured fries and about a 10-minute wait.

“The taste was not fresh and was definitely frozen fish for who knows how long, not freshly battered at all.”
Visited with a friend who had lived in the UK and wanted to compare fish and chips. The restaurant was completely empty despite being large, which in hindsight seemed telling -- nearby similar restaurants were busy. Portions were small and the fish tasted frozen rather than freshly battered; fries were too hard.
Roger got lucky with a walk-in after 6pm despite a building line, went upstairs in the two-story waterfront space, and praised the fried oysters as fresh and just right.
