IMO, chicken is usually ok. Not great, not bad. For the “non-gambler”.

i have had good luck with UA fish (excluding salmon, which is just salmon). I had halibut a couple of weeks back that was outstanding! A small-medium gamble, but not like the Short Rib.

Chips pushed in? Short Rib!

(I guess the question is, what is worse? A bad piece of fish (smell), or a bad short rib (spitting out fat/gristle) A personal choice!)
