I'm by no means an expert, but everyone I've taken to Alexandria's Eamonn's raves about it. Very authentic feel to the place, although it can be hard to get a seat.

Only about 15 minutes from DCA in Old Town.

Well sure, it's Faire food. I stand by my blanket condemnation of Fair Food.

If you think Long John is bad, what do you think of H n' salt?

In the states, I've had decent fish and chips at Richmond Arms in Houston
I agree. In fact, the Fish and Chips at The Richmond Arms was one of the few things that kept me in Houston for many years.

Having grown up around LHR and eaten fish and chips basically every week of my life, I've been living around ORD for the last 6 years. Consequently I've been missing the real stuff.

This weekend I went to SEA with my girlfriend, and, as recommended by this thread, tried the fish & chips at Ivar's. It really was nothing to write home about, but we did visit this random place on the seafront which had great cod. Sorry I don't have the name, but it was just south of Wall St on Alaskan Way.

Do us a favour - What did the shop look like? (I am getting desperate)

I really like the F&C at McCormick and Schmicks,and the setting is a little nicer than a stand.Portions are very large and come with great slaw on the side-less than $10 I belive.

The best Fish and Chips I've ever had was from a shack in Seward, AK. It was years ago, but I went twice (about a year apart) and both times it was great. Salmon, Halibut, and another white fish (maybe a codlike thing) - yumyum. I have no idea if they are still around.

Since I hate fish, I'll have to vote for Captain D's. Enough batter and grease and I'll eat just about anything.

Go to Jack's Fish Spot in the Pike Place Market. That's the fish vendor there with the live tanks in the corner market building (i.e. not the jerks what throw the fish). He's got a lunch counter with great fish & chips and killer cioppino.
