Mookie and I discovered a great fish 'n chips place by our house over the weekend. Believe it or not, the search came about after I had a dream the same day about eating fried calamari (!). The last time we looked for a place, it was one of those "H Salt Esq" establishments, and it sucked really bad. It sucked so bad it got closed down this year, haha. Unfortunately it was owned by fellow Koreans. Back to the present... Mookie did a search and found a place called Tugboat Fish & Chips on Blossom Hill Rd. It had some good reviews on Yelp.com so we decided to give it a try. I didn't have high expectations after what happened the last time, but boy were we surprised! Mookie said if my parents' old fish & chips restaurant was a rating of 10, then he would give Tugboat a rating of 8.5. Everything was really tasty. Tugboat is also owned by fellow Koreans, hehe. Our only gripes were the fish were not as thick and meaty as at my parents' old place, and the zucchini slices were cut razor thin. Their tarter sauce and cocktail sauce were deelicious. Would come here again! (By the way, Jacob enjoyed eating the fried fish too.)

I will need to visit a second time soon and make sure their food is consistent.
