While I cannot say I have been all around the world I have travelled quit a bit and this was hands down the best fish-and-chips I have ever had in my 40 years on this earth. We went for a whale watching trip and purposely did not eat before for fear of sea sickness. So by the time we were done we were starving and instinctively picked the closest place to the dock and so happy we did.
