Where do you get your fried fish from?

I’m not a fish eater, but I do remember they served fried catfish and offered salmon and cod (or was it pollack?) too (my kids love fish).

It’s a sit down fast food place, so I wouldn’t expect them to offer halibut or ahi tuna at those kind of prices. People who want to spend $10 or less on a seafood plate usually don’t mind eating swai.

@Bookwich and @boogiebaby, I’m sure you folks had good experiences there. And again, I only tried this place once. Every place is granted bad days. But that once left me so down on this place that it’s a no-go on my mental list. It just had all the suspect signs of not really caring about the food they made.

We were shut out at The Counter (it’s on the same street/block) and I didn’t feel like driving anywhere else, so we walked over there. Had I known it was going to be so disappointing x 5 (of us all hated it), we would have gone elsewhere.

The curse of fast food, it’s only as good as the franchisee that runs it.

Preux & Proper makes a pretty decent fried catfish. And as a bonus the house pickles that come with it are quite good.

gerlach’s grill still may be the only place in LA i know of that serves salmon in their fish & chips order.

Hi @secretasianman,

BatterFish offers Salmon as well.

as does Fishbar and Fish Time, and probably several others that escape me right now.

I’ve never had salmon battered or breaded before. Is it good that way or just a novelty?

Hi @Gr8pimpin,

Yah, me neither before we ran into BatterFish. :wink: I posted my thoughts and pics in an older thread here, but I thought it worked just fine.

Orleans & York has battered salmon either as a po’ boy or platter option. The batter is pretty heavily seasoned. It’s good enough.

Thanks @Chowseeker1999 and @bulavinaka !!

I find the Batterfish Truck amazingly light, tender and crispy, the best I’ve ever had.

It’s Lenten fish fry season.

Is that a H Salt Fish and chips? Also, how about Ralphs. Friends to me Ralphs on Labrea and Rodeo(i think) does some mean fried fish.They said all of them fry it though.

My Fish Stop, Van Nuys. “The Delta” plate with fried catfish, collard greens, and lobster mac.

Chef is slinging Mississippi-style fish and southern food and I’m here for it. “Using a fork to break apart the fillet is as easy as using a hot knife through whipped cream.”

Just opened a second spot in North Hollywood that seems to be going for bigger things.
