Dinner at Fisherman's Wharf

I had dinner on Sunday night with Shu Yi and Philip at Fisherman's Wharf, near Clarke Quay MRT station. Right-o, this is no thanks to me kicking start Philip's craving for fish and chips, following my post on District 10's offering of fish and chips. Har har har.. my bad I know. 
But in a way, his craving backfired on me. He had fish and chips at Fisherman's Wharf and told me about it. In the end, we ended up at this very place, his second fish and chips in a row at this place over a rather short period of time. 

This time he definitely went back with revenge in mind or something similar. We ordered fish and chips of 2 different types of fishes, one is lemon sole fillet and the other one is just controversial. I remembered Philip saying he will be ordering the silver cod fillet (Please correct me if I am wrong) but when the server plopped the item in front of me, he had announced it to be snow fish. And now, I can't recall what I ate. To boot up our orders, we got prawn fritters and calamari rings as sides. Haha, when the food came, it occurred to me suddenly that there is a lot of food! 

Shu Yi who came later, got herself a cream dory fillet. She said there's is no point ordering some fancy pancy fish as she can't tell the difference. Noting her point, I decided to test my fish tasting skills. The cod fillet was from a big fish I would guess, the flakes are a lot larger. The texture is tougher. The sole fillet was softer and smaller flakes. There is a slight difference in taste but I am not so fishy about fish that I can tell the difference. So her point is quite legit. :)

The batter for the fish and chips was a bit too thick and heavy for me but i guess it was fried at a good temperature since it was not oozing in oil when served. They used the same batter for the prawns. I enjoyed the prawns but the batter, I feel, didn't compliment the prawns. As for the calamari, I had expected it to be of thick batter too but it was very lightly deep fried in a super thin coat of batter. It was nice but somehow I wished it would have more crunch to it. 

It was a good day of fish and chips consumption. Not utterly oil choked though not awesome amazing. 

As I was too hungry and started attacking the food before I took a picture, there is none to post. But it is ok. Whoever who wants to have a bite can just go there rite? :)
