Interesting. I don’t think I’ve ever been to one.
yeah, I dont think many people know. I didn’t myself until I was in England a few years ago and thought.. well I might as well try fish and chips! ... um... THIS IS LONG JOHN SILVERS! was what I discovered.
I’d agree that LGS is an American fast food take on Brit fish and chips. I loved them decades ago when I was in high school.
If you’re ever in Boston, Legal Seafood near the aquarium and the Long Wharf Marriott has EXCELLENT fish and chips. Not cheap, but excellent.
In the north Atlanta suburbs there is a small chain of English pubs that do quite good fish and chips. Huw Thomas is a good guy.
