Rock n Sole Plaice - Fish and Chips

Rock n Sole Plaice - Al Safa Centre (Park n Shop), Al Wasl Road, Dubai
Every once in a while when I like to treat myself to fried food, I come here.
Not that "Rock n Sole Plaice" servers any fresh fish. unfortunately, they didn't make use of local fish, all are shipped frozen all the way from UK.
On the other hand, they are super tender and flaky, not overcooked at all, the crust is crispy but not the hard as a rock crunchy, tastes so good you don't even need the tartar sauce, just a tiny bit of  malt vinegar and you're good to go. I've tried Cod, Plaice, and Calamaris. Honestly, I love them all!
Now speaking of the "CHIPS" - really good, perhaps because I like my chips partially soggy. Besides, they taste like real potatoes!


Since there is limited seating & it smells like oil indoors, eating outdoors is always the best choice

My Plaice and Chips (plaice is a flatfish, so mainly it comes as a thin fillet nicely battered and fried - besides, this fish melts in your mouth like butter "OOOOH YEAH, BUTTTEERRR BABE" so you get the textures contrast of the crispy batter and buttery fish YUM)

My friend had Codfish - was really moist but thicker than my plaice
 
 
Oj Says: Might not be the perfect fish and chips but they're really good. Always dine in, takeout gets soggy quickly.
Food Rating: 6/10
Overall Experience: Always happy!
