Gigantic fried fish and chips with crispy beer batter
"One of the best orders of fish and chips in Seattle is actually a 35-minute ferry ride away on Bainbridge Island. The greatest thing about Proper Fish, though, is how enormous these entire filets of fried fish are—they’re around a foot long, with a puffy beer-battered crackle better than any state fair could achieve. That, plus tasty minted peas, thick-cut fries, and delicious tartar sauce, and there are plenty of reasons why we’d hop on a huge watercraft to grab these fish and chips." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
"The greatest thing about this British-style fish and chips spot is how enormous their filets of fried cod are—they’re around a foot long, with a puffy beer batter that's cracklier than anything produced by a state fair. That, plus tasty minted peas, thick-cut fries, and tangy tartar, and there are plenty of reasons why we’d hop on a huge watercraft to grab lunch here." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"The fish and chips at Bainbridge Island’s Proper Fish look exactly like what’s served at an English seaside pub: a twelve-inch cod served with thick-cut chips and a dollop of mushy peas. The only thing missing is the waterfront view. Luckily, the crispy batter will survive the five-minute walk down to the Waterfront Park, where diners can indulge in one of Seattle’s most traditional takes on the dish." - Nate Hall
"For a more traditional lunch, I order the Proper Fish cod—a single, longer-than-imaginable piece of cod, perfectly fried in a light batter—served as a massive meal with French fries ("chips") and a spot of mushy peas, all presented properly on a sheet of newspaper in a basket." - Jay Friedman
