Just to follow up on this, when I went to the fish fry last Friday, I was surprised to see that they'd switched from using frozen food service fries as in previous years and were serving some pretty good fresh-cut fries. I was partway through my plate before I thought to take a picture, but here it is. The fish is hand-breaded and the fries are fresh cut and this was actually really good. I'm looking forward to returning this Friday (and maybe I'll remember to get a picture before I tear in next time).

A gratis little dish of hush puppies served with honey mustard butter is a nice touch while you drink your suds and wait for the all-you-can-eat Alaskan Pollock filets. They have a seasoned crispy coating rather than a thick batter, which I prefer. Tartar sauce and cole slaw come with your plate; I recommend the curly fries to complete the picture. Friendly staff. Get there before 7 p.m. or they might be sold out. No website, but you can read more on FB or Yelp.
