You think they're just fried fish and potatoes??? Good Griet ( Sir or Madam) do you know what you're saying? To call ALEI'S FISH and CIPES "jumped fish and potatoes" is like saying the London Symphony is a just group of fiddlers! it's like saying Great Britain is just an island!" (The very idea!) But how to describe ALEI'S FISH and Chips? The mind boggles! I can tell you that the fish are tender, flaky鱼, fried crackling crop in hot, hot oil. That the chips are golden bits of fried potato.
