This was by far the best fish and chips ever. I had it almost every night because it was right down the street from my apartment in Virginia. Sure wish they were still around.

[@kennethritchie6100]

Where in va.

[@noble604]

You were in Virginia and you ate Arthur Treacher’s? I’m not knocking it... you didn’t like the local fish eateries? My family is from Hampton and I can’t wait to get there to this day to get some fresh caught fish sandwiches! Nothing like it!

I also lived 10 minutes away from one on the Orange Blossom Trail in Orlando FLA. Boy was it good and we ate there often or took some home.

[@grokeffer6226]

The times that I've eaten Arthur Treacher's , what impressed me was the malt vinegar that set the whole meal off. It was a long time ago, I was young, and it was a new thing for me. My stomach is growling just thinking about it.

[@jjryan1352]

Yes it absolutely made the meal. Great memory. The one in my location was across from a drive-in movie theatre.

[@michelesmith2620]

The batter was excellent. I used to eat the chicken version as a kid, because fish is just hit or miss. Wish it would make a comeback. I generally do not like fast food, but this was a keeper, that they lost.

[@dougi1967]

It was the first place I ever tried malt vinegar, I fell in love.

[@snuka33]

Thank you for this! I worked at the Arthur Treachers on Mentor Ave. in Mentor, Ohio in 1987/88. Great great memories! After close we would take the sandwich buns, dip them in the batter and fry them. A little sugar on top and we had ourselves some fresh hot donuts....just so everyone knows; the 80s were a glorious time...

Used to love it when my mom would take me to Arthur Treacher's. It made me a lifelong seafood fan.

[@charlesbaldo]

I don't know if I consider Arthur Treachers seafood. Sure its fish, but as an avid seafood and fish eater, battering and deep frying makes it so you barely taste the fish.

[@charlesbaldo]

@@captainamericaamerica8090 I ate both, I enjoyed them. I just don't consider them seafood. You said it yourself, its the thick crisp crunch of the batter thats the star. It could be a piece of chicken and would be the same. I eat a lot of fish, a nice piece of King Salmon, just baked with maybe a wine lemon sauce and a broiled scallop on the side. To me thats seafood.

Had to like this comment because I used to work with Alan! I only had Arthur Treacher's once when I was a kid. The food was good, but not really in my family's restaurant orbit. The name popped up in my head years ago, so I had to research Arthur Treacher. I was disney Castmember at the time, so I recognized the name. Very cool to see how that worked with this company.

[@CrimsonRaven51]

He’s right. As a Roman Catholic this was a main staple for us on Friday’s during Lent. Growing up we loved Arthur Treacher’s Fish ‘n Chips with malt vinegar on our fries.

[@trentpettit6336]

Just imagine how perfect it would have been if Arthur Treacher's had SPOTTED DICK on the dessert menu! Yes, it has a ridiculous name, but spotted dick is a very popular British dessert! And believe it or not, HEINZ (yes, the same company very famous for their KETCHUP which started in Pittsburgh) sells microwaveable spotted dick in a can! Of course the Heinz Spotted Dick is hard to find in America, but I've seen it at Wegmans stores in the international food section. And the malt vinegar you remember was probably made by HEINZ too.

@@stever4181 Vatican II and the Modernist canon law changes after it wreaked havoc on the Church. One casualty was fish on Fridays. It went from mandatory to voluntary and leftist bishops effectively did away with the rule all together, violating the intent of canon law. A long involved topic which is currently the center of great dissension in the Church now (Traditionalism vs. Modernism). A minority of traditional Catholics eat fish on Friday, nothing like the masses in the 1960's and early 1970's. Some restaurants and fast food places still carry fish options for that very reason. Probably the reason McDonald's carried their fish sandwich. Long John Silvers and the remaining H. Salt Fish and Chips still serve this niche, along with their other customers.

The chips (fries) were too soft and soggy (I prefer crunchier fries). When we moved to the Kansas City area in 1978, there were a few Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips locations, but the food was not as good as it had been, probably as a result of the Mrs. Paul's buy out, and they were gone by the early 80's.

My cousin was a manager of an Arthur Treachers in the Baltimore area in the '70s.I was just a kid at the time, but I remember those lemon pies.They were the BEST!!

Never been. Meanwhile here in Australia we have mum and dads fish and chip stores in every suburb. Nothing like a great fish dinner. Even throwing in a crab stick or scallops with your fish and chips . Potato cakes. Fish cakes. Calamari rings. Mmmmm

I always stopped at Arthur Treacher's on Rte 60 in Huntington WV on my way home from Sunday mass. I also found one still open near Akron OH when I was attending a continuing education seminar in the area many years ago.

I remember going to AT's after my guitar lesson in Lancaster, New York. It was something my sister and I looked forward to in the early 1970's.

i have so many memories of them. We had a location a few miles from where we lived in NJ. It was a monthly treat my dad would get us. Their food was really good! I miss them.

I remember as a little kid getting some version of a corndog there because I didn't like fish. It was pretty good.

[@whackamolechamp]

It was called the crunch pup. They were served on a stick.

They also had chicken and chips, very good! I do miss their hushpuppies, too.

Just had Arthur Treacher's yesterday, I'm amazed to live close to the last one standing, I pray it stays as it was my favorite place growing up.

There is a former Arthur Treachers in Columbus OH that is now called Marino's.Seafood Fish and Chips. It has been open for over 25 years. It still has the same roofline and lantern sign. They even have a picture of the building when it was AT. It is possible they use the same batter recipe. I ate there a couple of days ago.

It was top notch all the way, great food, always consistent. After some great years, it was gone.

Just a few clicks away from 50K subs. Thank you for your research and production efforts to bring back cherished memories to thousands.

When I was a kid we would go to the one in Mt. Clemens on Gratiot just down from Ark Surplus. My favorite part was the hot Vernors in the winter time.

[@quaternary611]

My dad used to take me there in downtown Charleston, WV in the 70’s as a kid and I loved it!

[@frankscarborough1428]

Loved Arthur treachery fish and chips. Wish somebody would start something d similar

[@ec6933]

in Columbus but it's called merino's now

[@orangehoof]

Thanks for giving viewers some background on Treacher who, I suspect, most American's saw as Merv's version of Ed McMahon. The menus were not very diverse and, for the unenlightened, "chips" were not potato chips but more like french fries. I may be wrong but I think Long John Silver's was in business during the same time, at least in the south. "Cod Wars!" LOL. Someone should make a movie about that. AARGHH!

Miss it so much... I had it as a kid in the mid-70s and it was very good indeed... A real treat from my parents who loved it too. If I recall correctly, the basket was lined with facsimile English newspapers... That got drenched with delicious malt vinegar.

I used to work at an Arthur Treachers in Hamilton, Ohio in 1977 on Erie Blvd. while in High School! I remember Friday nights were insanely busy. I loved their huge potatoes/chips and used to fill the inside of them with a squirt of catsup from a pointy bottle of catsup and they were delicious! Kinda like a jelly filled donut sort of deal! Ha Ha! There was a plaque that commemorated where legendary Rocker Sir Elton John sat when he ate a meal there a few years after I worked there! He stopped there before playing a concert at Miami University Millet Hall in nearby Oxford, Ohio! The place is now a hot dog/gyros fast food joint.
