Last weekend I went to Dingbats and had their crispy fish sandwich for $6.79. There’s also a jumbo crispy fish sandwich on the menu (for $1 more), but I was told it was twice as much fish so I chose the more modist option. I also had the option of beer batter or something else that didn’t sound as good, so of course, I chose the beer batter.
The sandwich is served on a kaiser roll and measures in at about 7 or 8 inches long and 2 or 3 inches wide. It’s served with tartar sauce and coleslaw, as well as french fries. I asked for lettuce and tomato. It’s a big sandwich, and to tell you the truth, as I ate it it got kind of grossly mushy. It was too moist and tender, I guess! (Or maybe I put too much tartar sauce on it.)
anyway. It’s a good sandwich. a little expensive, but it was tasty. I wouldn’t want to take it home and reheat it, though, because it was kind of soggy at the end of the meal.
well, my dear, i ate a fish sandwich thursday, a burger king, picture showed on bun with no seeds, HA! gave me bun with sesame seeds….dadgummit, almost no bun left after picking the seeds off. but the sandwich was good, altho i prefer red sauce
You’re missing quite a few places for fish sandwiches. During Lent, probably 50% of the Catholic churches have friday fish. Epiphany in the uptown area has fish every Friday all year from noon to 6 I believe.
I’ve tried many places.
One very good one is Brushcreek Inn just off 19 in Warrendale section. Coming from 279 / 79 north, get off at warrendale exit (two exits past 279 / 79 north junction). Turn right, go through light (7 11 cattycorner), to stop sign. Turn left and go approx. 50 yards.
there’s a hotel at the end of Lawrenceville that has a great one.
gardenville inn in bethel park .
Willy’s in Mars, PA
Just tried a new place last week cannot remeber the name.
Cole’s stand up tavern in wexford Good cold inepensive beer (lunch only during the summer; firday night dinner also september though may. Only real bar in North hills beyond west view; and I’ve been to most of them. take 910 exit off 79 N. Go approx. 3 miles (jus past Wexford fire dept. Post office deli on your right, bank on left). turn right for 19 south. go 20 yards.
Buddy nicks on butlers south side (actually in Lyndora). I know how to get there, but cannot give directions.
this has made me hungry. Its friday. Its time for a fish sandwich, fires and a cold IC, IC Light or Rolling Rock and Friday Night Fights on ESPN. what more could you ask for. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT, insult a great Pittsburgh Fish Sandwich by drinking any other beer than those brewed in Western PA. Especially do not drink that Piss ying out of eastern pa.
I tried to catch as many fish sandwiches as I could before I moved — this post has a good set of articles about fish sandwiches. sadly I’m not in pgh anymore so only get them on vacations! they’re really not the same in the metro ny area.
