Fish & Chips Restaurants near Skaneateles, NY

“A don't miss eatery when in Skaneatales for terrific (not-junky) fried fish. We were skeptical when we saw the long line of people waiting for takeout at Doug's because the Finger Lakes are known for the excellent fishing there. Every fancy place serves cod or scrod or haddock although these might not be local .. anyway, we noticed a newer sit-down Doug's Dining Room next door and figured if they expanded, they must be good.We were happy we queued up because the line zips right through. Fried fish was a 10" slab of gently breaded, not greasy flounder in a soft, squishy bun. French fries are perfection. No fried clams till Fridays and no calamari left but my hubby had a Lobster Roll he adored. Seafood soup and gumbo smelled delicious. Grilled shrimp skewers landed on the table next to us and looked fabulous. Doug's a super local place with hysterical fish joke signs and vats of tartar sauce and ketchup on the side counters. There are formica tables inside and picnic tables out back too. Prices are circa 1964 so you'll enjoy that too.“

“A little errand hopping today,swung over to a local eatery to try something besides the daily special for lunch. If you haven't yet tried their daily specials at Roseadah's, well, you should... A nice small dining room, or take out.I am diabetic so I ordered the broiled haddock, and the fresh veggies of the day, side of slaw, Sister ordered a Specialty Burger and a side of Mac n Cheese. Fried Wontons for appetizer. The appetizers arrived as we sipped our still warm beverages. We both made a mess of our shirts with the wonton filling, but none went to waste, very tasty on their own, but we opted for the sweet chili dipping sauce, killer, I could have eaten another order.Entrees came, both were perfectly prepared. Broiled fish was firm not soggy, seasoned nicely and even the zucchini and peppers saute was spot on. I was bad and had a bite of her Mac n Cheese, oh boy, good thing I had enough to eat on my own plate...The slaw was simple, fresh, not to sweet, not too tangy. House rolls were soft, nothing special, and neither of us understood the blended butter spread, I guess a simple garlic butter/bread would have sufficed. Sis showed me the slight pink on her obviously good Half Pound Burger.We had no room for deserts, certainly did not walk away hungry, a common problem with so many places today.Staff was attentive and friendly, not overly. We really needed nothing with such well prepared dishes.Keep it tasty, present it right, wins every time.See you next time Roseadah'sPs. It's a cozy place, call ahead if you have a larger group“
