Long ago, there was a place called Arthur Treacher's that was pretty good.  Pretty much Long John Silver with a very English theme. I suspect Alfie's above was a former Arthur Treacher's.

wow, now that's a way back.  i don't think i've seen one of those in almost 40 years

That was my first thought when I saw that photo.

My mom was raised on cornmeal-breaded panfish and occasionally catfish.
She was super-intrigued by the breading of fish and chips, particularly the very savory crust of Long John Silvers.  To that end, she actually purchased a package of their breading mix and for a while we had it at home.


They still have them on the east coast. Went to one at a rest stop in the jersey turnpike and it was ok but greasy.
FYI, those rest stops have food courts.

There was one in suburban Atlanta about 15 years ago. I'd completely forgotten about it.

The parsley flakes and lemon wedge make it a balanced meal.

Are those dolmades in the background?

Yessir, sharp eye. And top left is the edge of a round falafel.

Just seeing this thread title brought rough memories of the year I played for the English club and had to live in that country. God awful food. I had my mom ship me a package of Tony Chachere's so I could season the food enough to make it barely edible.
