@Christian Burden. You may have seen my comment. How does a single franchise location work? Did you takeover the corporate aspect as a sole last location? I can't see a parent company supplying just one restaurant and keep it going. I wish you were around here in southern New Hampshire, we don't have any Fish and Chips resurants around here... which is surprising for New England. If I am ever in the area I will be sure to stop in for a meal.

[@brockreynolds870]

Part of what made Arthur Treachers go down was the change in quality. The chain was bought my Mrs. Paul's in 1979, and they switched from using Icelandic Cod to Alaskan Pollock, which is cheaper. So those of us who ate there in the 70's, would most likely have a different experience.

[@akbarlebowitz8151]

Yes, the quality suffered when they changed the fish. Chicken & Chips was a better choice for me.

[@Ira88881]

This is what I heard too, but could it have been THAT much worse as to destroy the chain? I ate there a lot, but don’t recall any point where I noticed a big difference. Of course, I was a kid smoking a lot of weed in those days, so I probably couldn’t tell anyway.

[@frankfurtonfoottours2361]

@@Ira88881 Yes, they changed the chips to fries, as well as the fish. Mrs. Pauls wanted to sell their frozen store products. I was a manager then for Arthur Treachers and watched all of this happen. We hated it.

I was an assistant manager at Arthur Treacher in the 70s. This video shows the original meal. Everything looks the same as it did in the 70s. They started out using cod fish but due to cost the company went to using Pollack's. I do miss Arthur Treachers.

[@lookingup9041]

What’s the recipe for the batter? I would like to try and make the fish.

[@tobyradloff]

The Cleveland/Akron area was one of the last holdouts for Arthur Treacher's. Toward the end there were locations in Garfield Heights, the city of Akron, and in Austintown (near Youngstown), in addition to Cuyahoga Falls. The Garfield Heights location was the second to last location. Owned by the same people who own the last one in Cuyahoga Falls. That one closed due to Covid-related staffing issues, as well as having to do only carry-out business, since that location did not have a drive thru. I have been to the Cuyahoga Falls location twice since the Garfield Heights location closed. I still love their food.

[@kloc072386]

I drove past the Garfield heights location almost daily and I never stopped. I hadn't seen anyone there. I wish i had tried it at least once.

[@pattymcdonald6642]

I was 4 years old in 72 where I ate the one in Heath , Ohio for years until they closed. I continued into the 80s and 90s going to the one on Brice Rd. in Columbus, Ohio with my four children. It was something I needed weekly. The fries are steak fries and were always that width and texture. Everything was the same except the decor in the restaurant you were in. I liked the one on Brice Rd b/c they kept the original 70s decor until they closed sometime after the late 90s. I use the malt vinegar on mine since I was little and I miss this restaurant so much!!! Thanks for letting me live through your experience today!

[@reedberry]

Wow, I didn't know there were any Arthur Treacher's locations remaining. Treacher himself died nearly 50 years ago, and I'll hazard a guess that most people under the age of 60 or so wouldn't even know who he was. Interestingly, in 1989 I was on the TV game show "Couch Potatoes" hosted by Marc Summers (all three episodes are on my KZbin channel) and Arthur Treacher was the answer to one of the trivia questions during the game. Surprisingly, one of my teammates who was only 22 or 23 at the time knew the answer! Treacher was the announcer and sidekick on The Merv Griffin Show for five years in the 1960s. Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips joins Blockbuster Video in Bend, OR and Steak Corral in Whittier, CA in the "There's only one left" club! Thanks for the video. Happy holidays!

[@melsawyers264]

I live about 25 minutes from that location, and have loved Arthur Treachers since I was a kid in the 70's. The one we had in our town had a British Red Double Decker Bus for their grand opening back in the 70's and gave rides around town. It's a shame they went away.

[@BoratWanksta]

[@richardsilvestri6874]

My favorite fast food place as a teen in the 70’s! They had the best fish sandwich! The fries look the same as they did in the 70’s

[@keithsanders2792]

After Mr. Treacher's film career he became well known on television in the U.S. as an announcer/sidekick to talk show host Merv Griffin. The restaurant also served cod instead of the pollock. Growing up where I did we had a great fish & chips place named LONDON TOWNE across the street from my high school. We constantly snuck off campus to go to London Towne for lunch, of course if we got caught we had to serve a couple days of detention but it was worth it. Thanks for sharing your visit with us Will & Dawn, it was fun!

[@merriemisfit8406]

The fish place by my house when I was a wee one was Hungry Penguin. Nice chunks of what was probably cod in a batter that must have had some fair amount of sugar in it because of how beautifully dark brown it caramelized. My family loved Hungry Penguin fish & chips. When The Penguin closed, Arthur Treacher came to the next town over, and that became our fish place. I loved their version of the fish sandwich (a handful of a bun loaded with a full-sized battered fish portion and melted cheese sauce poured over, with a side cup of tartar sauce) -- WAY better than that travesty of a thing I mockingly called the "McFish" (a flat bun hiding a playing-card-thick wafer of crumb coat surrounding flakes of possible fish, a third of a slice of American-flavored-processed-cheese-food, and a sparsity of tartar sauce). For several years, we were just a few minutes' drive from Arthur Treacher, Long John, and H. Salt, as well as some non-chain purveyors of fine fish & chips. Now they are all closed. All closed. By the way -- the Christmas Eve celebration feast at my house last weekend was fish & chips, with a warm cabbage salad instead of cole slaw. Extra chips left over for breakfast Christmas morning. And we still miss Hungry Penguin.

[@purdueboilerguy6373]

Treacher's was across the street from my high school in Cleveland Heights Ohio.

[@suzieq4750]

I used to go on a regular basis. The one memory that really stands out though is my grandmother loved it and would treat me when we went grocery shopping together. It was very odd to me because my grandmother was extremely "frugal" if you get my drift and she never had fish at home. Thank you for showing us the last one.

[@billwhite7099]

I have such great memories of Arthur Treacher's. When I was a kid my grandma lived with us, in Florida. She would send me to AT's on my bike to grab us fish and chips with extra hush puppies for lunch. I have always thought that it was a tragedy that Long John Silver's was left standing in the fast seafood genre. Arthur Treacher's was always head and shoulders above LJS. Great to see one is hanging on. BTW the one in my neighborhood was in the same iconic building style

[@PeppermintPaddy321]

Welcome to O H I O…..my absolute fav place for fish. My mother was from England and years ago they were everywhere. So sadly missed nowadays.

[@Suzismymom]

Many many years ago, my Mother's best friend (she was from England and met her husband there during WW11, married him and moved to NJ) used to work in pubs, somehow she got her hands on the original recipe for Arthur Treachers Fish batter. It was incredible, we tried some taste tests because we had an Arthur Treachers near us and nobody could tell the difference. One of the best things to do when cooking the fish is to let the batter drip a little as you drop it in the oil and you get a lot of the crunchy bits. Delicious! Oh, malt vinegar is a must on the fish, dip the chips in tartar sauce and yum!

@@yankeeinthesouth And thank you for evoking the memories, being a kid and watching her make fish and chips in the deep fryer my Dad won for Mom down the Jersey Shore 💖

[@Suzismymom]

@@watershipdown3630 I've been using the recipe for so many years that it became something I did without measuring anything so when I saw your comment I was unsure about how to share it with you, while also wondering if it would be okay. I lost my Mom in 2014 (followed by my Dad in 2015 and younger brother in 2016, they all knew the recipe too) so since I couldn't ask her for real, I asked her in my head to send me a sign as to what I should do after looking in her recipe box and not finding it. Just a few minutes ago I was putting one of her recipes for Christmas cookies on the fridge with a magnet and a small scrap of paper slid onto the floor with the recipe! It's been broken down to a small enough batch for a pound of fish (I use cod or haddock usually) : 3/4 cup of flour 3/4 cup of water 1 tsp salt 1 tsp baking soda 1 tblsp white vinegar Mix ingredients together, coat the fish generously with batter then cook in oil, enough to cover fish, approximately 2 minutes per side Use malt vinegar when you eat 😊 I hope it turns out as good as mine does! Merry Christmas 🌲

My first job in 1978 was Arthur Teacher's in Norwalk, CT. This brings back memories. North Atlantic whitefish was what we sold and it had a long triangular shape. Chips were like steak fries but not as dense and were grooved. We only used 100% peanut oil as it has a high smoke point and no taste transfer of fish on chicken etc. I miss the brand. Great video.

[@CycleCruza]

Arthur Treacher's was my very first job at 16 in Parma Heights, OH at Southland. I was a fry cook. They used peanut oil to fry everything.The fish were frozen wedges we dipped in the batter and threw in a huge fryer that I had clean out every night (pita!). The "chips" were potato wedges, better than those skimpy fries they got now. I made $4.25/ hr. I came home smelling like fish and had oil burn red dots on my arms from the oil popping up on my arms. lol

The mid 2000's is when they went out of business officially. It's nice to see one has survived . Nice memories for me.Thanks for the video !

[@shannon3n8]

I loved Arthur Treachers! We had 2 within 15 miles of each other (here in KY, and 1 across the river into WV). The fish was awesome and the hush puppies were always a good cornbread/biscuit hybrid. But their chips - I remember them being more oblong/round with the 3 grooves in them, not quite so severely stick-like. When LJS took over my town's AT, they had a hard time selling baskets of fries because they weren't like AT's so they'd top theirs with the crispy crumbles of batter from the grease pit. I also remember Dad stopping on the way home from work and getting a big boat of chips and hush puppies to bring home when Mom would make burgers for dinner. Akron isn't TOO long a drive from here.. sounds like a perfect spring 2023 road trip!!

I heard somewhere back in the late 1970s they changed their fish due to price increases. This was the beginning of the end for them. One of my memories was going to an Arthur Treathers in the mid 1970s when they first opened. I remember people were lined up around the building to try it for the first time. They would have workers come out with trays of small pieces a fish so customers can get a sample of what it tasted like. I remember at that time I thought it was so good.

1977 must have been the year they opened a lot of new stores. i also was around 16 when hired as first crew in St. Louis County, MO. Two new stores were opening in my area at the time. i loved their food! Clam Chowder was fantastic!

[@francisjaniewski5990]

Hey your not far from me. I went to that Arthur Treachers when I got out of high school mid 70s. I live in Laporte

[@maryreilly5092]

Mine too! I lied about my age so I could start work at 14. Made $1.75 an hour. This was 1975 and I was still in Middle school. Thought I was hot stuff with my tiny paycheck every Friday. This was in Tampa, FL. Awwwww, Good Times, LOL.😆

[@retromarine7701]

I would go with my dad in the early 80s before he passed away. We went to the one in Hampton, Virginia. I loved seeing the location marked on the map in the video. Thanks for bringing back the great memories.

[@judiewoodward9756]

Looks delicious.So glad you are getting to revisit a childhood memory.

[@zackvanhalen]

I lived in Cuyahoga Falls for 4 years. It's a nice little city, and I always thought it was so random that the last Arthur Treacher's was there. I ate there several times. I actually think their chicken may even be better than their fish.

[@donnadesanctis6724]

Looks yummy I remember going back in the 70s thanks for bringing back old memories wish they would bring more places like this back🥰😋🙌

[@WARRIOR4CHRIST70]

They used to be in several locations here in New York back in the 1970's. Me and my mother were just reminiscing on how great their food was. Especially the hush puppies, which we loved.

[@dawnbenchley7237]

They were a good restaurant. Love their fish and chips. The one we ate at was in Flint, Michigan.

[@70sfred1]

We had one of these in my hometown of Bridgeport, Ohio! Lots of good memories and their baked lemon pies were to die for!

[@lainydepp]

Yes we love tartare sauce in England. Plenty of salt and vinegar all over too. That's the traditional way 🙂

[@laheatley]

I love Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips! We had one in my little town in NJ. My Mum was from England and for a treat we would eat there. She always used vinegar on her fish. I loved the shrimp boat as well as the fish and chips. And I loved the Lemon Luv dessert! So glad to see it's still on the menu in the last shop!

[@gusnickles3672]

Wow, that really brings back memories. We had one near us here in Indy and I remember eating their fish. I had no idea that there was still any left. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@EddieTheGentleman]

Ours is renamed Captain Arthur's Fish but, same food... Still delicious... In Austintown/Youngstown, OH

[@gregp9350]

Oh the sweet memories. It was my Mom's favourite fish place to go to. My Dad ate too much fish in WW2 as a child , so he never ate fish as an adult. But the rest of the family loved Arthur Treachers. The chips , fish & hush puppies look the same. Miss this place.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank you so much for sharing 😊

Dayton, Ohio here.....remembering the AT on N. Main st across from Forest Park Plaza. Good times, Good food, fond memories.....Thanks.

[@thelonemoose4718]

Malt Vinegar on the fish AND the fries is the only way to go!!! When I was a kid growing up in Kansas City Arthur Treacher's and H. Salt Esq. where the best fish and chips around. I have been to England a few times, and both are quite authentic!! I am so glad you put this video together!! My dad (93) has been craving Arthur Treacher's for decades!! If he makes it over this winter (he'll be 94), I'll go to northern WV and get him and take him up there!! AWESOME!!! And yes, tons of memories!!!

Best wishes for you father this winter.

Wow. Didn't know it was down to one. I used to get the chicken and chips - it's flavor was addictive. Thanks for doing this video and bringing back fond memories!

Will, having been born in Ohio, I can relate to a lot of your memories. Just another reason why I love your channel. Thanks for taking us to Arthur Treacher’s one more time!

I'm 55yrs old now and growing up in Wood River, IL there was a KFC and I believe was a ARTHUR Treacher's in together. What I Remember is classic English fish & Chips came wrapped in a news paper....

[@truth4004]

I used to eat there all the time as a child. Then it went away. They had the best chips too.

[@debd5246]

Just stumbled upon your channel. This brings back memories from childhood! I believe they closed in my area mid to late 1980's. It was a special treat to have a meal from here. I had no idea there were any left. I may need to take a road trip here.

[@kevinkerry3408]

Yes… we are in England and have Fish n Chips at least once a month… Salt N Vinegar on ALL of it… including the Chips! Tomato Ketchup is also very common in Chips. Tartare Sauce is also a Yes on Fish over here. We call it Batter on the fish.

[@earthsucks9555]

Is Guinness really the favorite beer over there?

[@KKandEV]

@@earthsucks9555 No.. to some it’s a required taste. Most of the younger drinkers are Lager drinkers like Carling, Heineken, Coors, Budweiser on tap or bottle. I myself like a Craft small brewery type Beer.

[@paulhollis8879]

@@earthsucks9555 Guinness is also much stronger than lagers. One pint is usually enough.

[@earthsucks9555]

I’m learning things today Is Boddington’s still available? Thanks England is definitely on my bucket list If I was able to watch a soccer match in England, what city/team would give me that specific & unique English experience? The reason I ask is--- I was once asked by a man from Denmark what American football team/city/game would give him that unique American experience. I said that the Green Bay Packers or Pittsburgh Steelers would give you that classic feeling.

[@paulhollis8879]

@@earthsucks9555 Im pretty sure Boddington is around although you won’t be spoiled for choice. There’s lots of alternatives - try ‘em! About the soccer, I know where you going with that - you want the real thing - not a corporate retail experience. In London it would be Crystal Palace or Fulham to watch - old school grounds with a diehard support. Fulham’s ground is on the banks of the Thames and is a lovely ground. In the Midlands - Aston Villa, again a lovely ground but much bigger. Newcastle is in the far north-east, you might not make it up there but are known for their fanatical support (and their accent).

[@robertklein4249]

Nice video! I'm glad I stumbled upon your page. I remember Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips very well from my childhood. The catch prase I remember was "The Meal You Can Not Make At Home". My father used to take us there quite often, and we loved it. I do remember the food being quite good- both the fish and the chicken. The chips (fries_ were wide and ridged, with a good flavor. I was surprised to hear that they hand bread the fish. But I guess since this is the only location now, it makes sense becuase they don't have to bring in a mass produced frozen item. I remember the hush puppies too, pretty much the way you described them. Nice trip down memory lane!

[@deannafromindiana2805]

The fish, fries and hush puppies look just like our Captain D's here in Southern Indiana. Very good and much better than Long John Silver's. Never heard of Arthur Treacher's until now. Thanks for the video.

They had Arthur Treachers in my home town when I was kid. It was always a special treat to go there.

[@charlesperez9976]

Fascinating! I live in Lorain Ohio,just west of Cleveland,so a venture to this last Arthur Treachers may be in order. I just got back from London,and yes,tartar sauce is an option,not necessarily preferred,but it’s there. If you go to London,you MUST go to Greenwich,there is the Legendary Trafalgar Tavern,home to the best fish and chips EVER. The cod melts in your mouth,and the chips,they are like nothing I have ever had! Golden and crispy on the outside,but somehow,on the inside,it is literally mashed potatoes,it is so inexplicably creamy. I and the customers around me were literally gasping with amazement at the supreme quality that sat in front of us! People were literally taking photos and videos of this experience! Me? I stole the fork,I use it every day,my Trafalgar fork😂

[@tomadkins2866]

Hey neighbor! I was born in Lorain, grew up in South Amherst and live in Brownhelm now. The AT on 21st. Street in Lorain is THE one that I remember eating at as a kid. I don't remember any others in the area, possibly Elyria?
