"I would have cooked a large group for Friday fish and chips in another city, but not again with the food in animal fat. so it was from me to Rosita’s, a small bistro style restaurant that I last visited a few years...ago then it was for a light lunch, this time was a conscious effort to explore a Friday tradition. in a fairly early evening I got a small but reasonable table after a welcoming reception. I had a glass estrella galicia that is not my favorite beer and the order was prepared incredibly fast. the fish was a seaweed, a favorite of my grandmother, and fortunately not overdue as it is too often the case. batter was neither incredibly crisp nor soggy and only the right coating. chips had a good taste and not the double or three times roasted sort, but as good as you would get from a traditional frit. mushy were inherited, well, muddy inherited. general lemon and much tartaric acid sauce in a bowl. all for under plus the beer that has worked for a large glass. certainly cheaper and better than many comparable British restaurants where the environment would have been strong and sterile and with a penetrating smell of fat. rositas seems to have a fairly regular clientele and while I did not find any Spanish accent. I paid the bill and went to my friends who were just serving their fat platelets, and had a guinness that was not so good, and their artery cloged meals were more. I was the better choice."
