Hooked On Fish

Sometimes you have to award a star for a pun-​tastic name. This may not quite reach the dizzying heights of the Major Curry Affair curry house, but at least they’ve made an effort.
This is a dinky little chippy located on Cradley Heath High Street. It is sandwiched between the ‘Spoons and the dentists, so you’d imagine that their core customers would be drunken pub-​goers and people trying eat away their dental woes. But this isn’t the case — Hooked On Fish is a popular lunchtime spot for shoppers and local businesses.
I won’t lie, the fish and chips from there wasn’t some sort of celestial deep-​fried epiphany. They were decent. I’m a fan of the fact that they will thrown in extra «batter bits» if you ask for them. (My husband has told me tales of colleagues eating bags of batter bits — hard core.)
They do chicken and pork swimming in gravy, which I’ve never tried because it looks kind of yucky. But may I remind you of the batter bits, woo!
