AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
Crisp, golden fish and chips steal the show at Skippers, earning praise from Mark Wiens for its satisfying simplicity. The overall vibe is warm and unpretentious, celebrating no-fuss coastal comfort food.
“This is hake fish and chips. The fish has a thin, crispy batter — not too thick, just crispy and highlighting the moist flaky fish inside. It's steaming hot, almost too hot to hold. The fish is really flaky, you can see the flakes. There's a subtle spice in the batter, maybe a little chili flavor. The chips are sprinkled with the same seasoning, crispy on the edges and soft inside, soaking up the fish juices. Squeeze lemon on it — it's perfect. This place is an institution, always busy, right by the beach.”
