Love that Cat (and the fiddle)


It may sound like an easy dish, but good fish and chips are hard to come by in Los Angeles. The best can be had at Cat and the Fiddle. You can choose from two types of fish, the cod and the more expensive sole (go with the cod).

My friend Jernard and I went there last night and had a blast. In fact, I don't think I have ever had a bad time at Cat and the Fiddle. Yet again I had the fish and chips - fried perfectly and not too greasy. Besides the chips, the fish comes with the traditional green peas, which is also cooked perfectly. The other dish I like there is their homemade bangers and mash, but your stomach has to be in the right mood for this dish (rich, but tasty).

But more importantly, Cat and the Fiddle has one of Los Angeles' few outdoor courtyards...and what an amazing courtyard it is. Perfect for lunches, and at night it becomes quite the party (they have live Jazz on Sunday nights). This fun setting makes it perfect for going out with friends. Jernard and I had a great time last night talking, checking out the scene and throwing back a few pints. Three and a Half Smacks!
