    The wife and myself had lunch at Zak's place on Saturday. I'm American and the only other time I've had British fish and chips was a number of years ago at a joint base in Afghanistan, so my palate is what it is.

    I personally found the fish nice and the chips seasoning fantastic. Had a bit of time speaking with the owner, good guy. I wanted to stop by as I believe we should try our best to support other expats and I was honestly curious about the food truck. Will definitely give it another go, not sure about this trip as I'll be heading off to my next project soon.

    Highly recommend.

    Shawn

    Thank you, conscientiousness, pride in my work and not being afraid of hard work were all bred into me by a very hard working family.

    Actually a bit more relaxed than that.. I put down 10:30 opening but I'm usually there long before that, as for closing, it gets very quiet after 7pm and sitting around, empty, just burning fuel is frustrating so we go home by 7.30pm. But if there's people to serve then we stay open till whenever.

    Nice. Thanks for the nutritional information. Any chance this could be a special once a week/fortnight?

    Thanks for your reply.
    Well, I'm going to do my best to get the ingredients together and then, if the suppliers maintain a steady flow I'll certainly do it weekly, or as demanded. I'm not going to entice you with false promises but I'm going to go for it.

    I would be interested even though, at this time, I'm getting a steady supply of dorado and white marlin. The dorado are especially good, very moist, very flavorsome .

    I have seen frozen cod in the Dumaguete / Valencia area about two years ago. It looked terrible and definitely to be avoided.
    However, I fear that this was one of those deluded establishments that switches off all freezers at night thinking they are saving money on power. They're shooting themselves in the foot as the freezer's compressor is working overtime all day long trying to play catch-up. Then, of course, there's the clear and present danger of food poisoning. Killing your clientele is bad for business.

    But I'm sure S&R have a much better work ethic and I'd like to sample their supply. Unfortunately there's only 24 hours in a day, I wish there were more as traveling to and from Cebu takes time. I would need someone returning to bring me a few kilos . But it would have to be someone with experience of these things, a person who knows what they're looking for and what they're looking at in regard to quality, to be able to recognise freezer burn and be able to spot if they have been defrosted and frozen again. I'll ask about.

    I know now thanks to you, unfortunately Google Maps decided that's our location. I have tried to put it right manually with , maybe, a touch of trial and error...
