Eat this fried fish sandwich from Elmwood

We are no longer upset that fish fry season ended early this year, now that Elmwood’s classic fried fish sandwich became a regular Friday carryout offering. Every detail is just right. A massive slab of fresh cod is panko-coated, fried to crunchy golden perfection and topped with a slice of American cheese that melts into the crust. 

The fish is joined by a mess of creamy, tangy tartar sauce and shredded iceberg lettuce on an egg bun so tender and chewy we wish Elmwood sold them in packs. It’s too big and gets super messy and, we’re sorry to say it, but better than anything you can get in a crowded parish hall during Lent.
