Some of the best around here are at the Airport Cafe at PWT. Of course, you'll have to fly your own plane (or, shudder, drive) to get there. No commercial service. Get a window seat and grade landings while enjoying your dinner.

As long as we're saying U.S. only, I'll go with the Irish Rover in Louisville, KY (of all places).

Light, flaky, flavorful fish. Crisp, tasty golden fries, and perhaps the best soda bread anywhere. Friendly welcoming atmosphere as well.

Who'd have thunk it?

Its on Frankfort about midway between downtown and St. Matthews.

I had the best fish and chips of my life at a roadside stand called Hot Fat on Monhegan Island off the coast of Maine. Summers only I believe.

Agree they have great stuff.

Not quite the same, but you can also get your Ivar's fix at Sea-Tac airport.

Had it on Saturday in fact, it was alright... but the one by the Pier was much better.

Best EVER was some shack on Cape Cod, just before you got to Provincetown. I finished it off like it was my last meal.... and I don't like seafood

Generally, my favorite construction is beer-battered cod, with LOTS of tartar. Never could get behind the vinegar thing.

No contest. A Salt and Battery on Greenwich & 13th in NYC.

I've eaten fish and chips from San Diego to Seattle to Anchorage to the Keys and nobody makes it better than A Salt and Battery.

The best I've ever had was at the KP Diner on Rt. 44 in Rehoboth, Mass. Dipped in corn meal and then fried. Not at all greasy. Unfortunately, the KP closed last year.

I'll have to try that place. My personal favorite has always been another NYC venue, Maggie's Place.

1. Farnham's
2. Woodman's
