So,
a new take out place opened on Elmwood right near the ghetto liquor store and We Never Close. Captain Jack's Fish and Chips.
First, I am super excited they did all that work on those two store fronts. One now has this restaurant, the other will have the Elmwood Village Association in it. Both are awesome neighbors.
Second, I love fish and I am bit disappointed by my fish options around here. Oh, Friday fish try? Thanks. Hey, wanna watch 2girls1cup the Musical? It is about that appetizing.
On their menu they have:
Sea Dogs
Fish tacos
Lunker
Crabcakes
Seafood Ravioli
and other treats including non-fishies.
I treated myself to a sea dog and a fish taco.
The sea dog is basically a foot long fried fish stick on a hot dog bun with tarter sauce, which was yellow, odd. It was good for what it was and totally worth the $3.99
The fish taco was.... the same thing. A jumbo fish stick with mango salsa, tarter sauce, and in a tortilla.... making it a burrito and not a taco, god damn it.
Both were meh. The service needed work, but everyone was friendly and apologetic when they made a mistake. They just opened so that is bound to get better. But the food... I need something more than just a fancy-pants way of dolling up a fish stick.
I will try some of their other offerings, but if I see another fish stick I am calling it quits.

Am I reading this right?This is an ad I saw on the web
And here is what it says
"Hey you, ya you overweight white guy in his early 20's. How is unemployment treating you? And gosh, that sure was a shame when your girlfriend dumped you at Gencon because you wanted to watch her have sex with the Sailor Moon cosplayer. We can make it all better.
Yes, we will pay you up to an obscene amount of money to be a Twitter Spambot. Money, unobtainable women who don't mind the scent of Poractiv, and the respect your parents and friends can't give you.

Well maybe that is right. I'm guessing though that since typing doesn't take that long you would have to type a lot of things to get that hours pay and you can't get to many hours in a week. Who knows though.

Hairy SausageI just read about this most delicious sounding dish: Russian Hairy Sausage.
They look like this uncooked
But boil them for a little bit and they look like this
Just stick pasta through sausage, boil, and enjoy a sensation akin to eating foot long bacteria.

LOL, precisely (e:metalpeter) - it doesn't look half as disgusting as it sounds.

What a bad name who would want to eat it based on the name. It sounds like if Royalty made a porno or something.

squid ink pasta is so delicious! I don't know what those eyes are made of. It looks like a green peppercorn on egg white?

i'm sorry, and what are the eyes made of? little over hard egg bits? ugh...I just threw up in my mouth a little.
the black pasta is particularly disgusting.

hahahahahaha!!!!! Thank you for posting this!!!!

Me too. I will try it again soon, but I wont get either of those items again unless I am broke and drunk.
I was hoping you would love it.
It sure as heck wasn't saffron. That was my guess as well. It goes with the hot dog theme as well.
I would suspect that the "yellow" in the tartar sauce is probably mustard based on my personal experience. Over the years, I've experienced a number of "home-made" tartar sauces that use hot dog mustard.
