"Brightmoor classic Scotty Simpson’s represents a genre of Detroit restaurants that have largely faded from the neighborhoods, one that serves the needs of a generation of Detroiters who’ve remained in the community. This cash-only establishment has been faithfully serving since 1950, all year round. You may feel like you’ve entered a time capsule when you step inside the space, where model schooners and mounted fish decorate the walls. Though the menu offers favorite options like fried smelt and frog legs, the house specialty is Nova Scotia cod and chips fried in a secret batter recipe until reaching a crispy, deep golden hue, with fries, a roll, and tartar sauce. Don’t miss Scotty’s thick slices of pie, available in a variety of flavors and made fresh every Friday." - Serena Maria Daniels
