I ground the salt on to brown overcooked chips as I feasted on the melted fish they would have looked even worse if I had taken the 'batter' off I would have found either a living fish in a bowl of water or a fish bone. The worst thing was definitely the drink whatever you ordered you got some water with loads of slugs climbing into it the straw was edible and it tasted like a Giraffe (Long story). The salty sea fish 'n' chips was probably the worst fish 'n' chips shop in town it was behind the hotel!
