I live in Georgia and my wife organises a pub night once a month for a group of brits and partners we meet in an Irish bar in Roswell called the harp they have a website it is by far the best fish and chips we have had and they have curry sauce, I have been told of a place in NY that has a black Cab as well, he is supposed to be a proper chippy.
I am no expert of any thing really but I like food a lot and fish and chips was a staple in the North of england and over here the best places seem to be Irish, Good luck with it all maybe we will talk soon.

Re: Fish And Chips!
You mean Long John Silver's doesn't qualify as good fish and chips? I mean- it's on their menu...'fish and chips', right above the 'fish and more' and below the 'fish and chicken'.

Hope this helps 
I also would love to know the address of this new chip shop. We only live about an hours drive away from there. Have you managed to try it out yet? Its making me dribble just thinking about it.

Ahhh i need fish and chips now, all the posts of instances with fairly decent ratings, but none in indy haha. Cant wait to see what i find in florida, i might be getting my hopes up a bit tho LOL. If anyone has any decent recipes for making fish and chips, and i mean making them like they are outta a chippy LOL, i would be open to having a go! Have been trying to explain mushy peas to my hubby and he keeps looking at me like im crazy, anyone got a decent description for him?
