Children play London Bridge is Falling Down, dropping their arched arms over whoever happens to get caught in the middle under the “down.” In the case of London Bridge Pub in Monterey, it’s quite the opposite – this classic pub fare is lifted up. Battered and fried fish with fries is a simple, straightforward dish. To make it stand out requires fresh, meaty pieces of cod. It requires hot, crispy fries. And a good vibe – with a London Bridge that is not at risk of falling down – is a bonus. Some or all of those reasons are why Weekly readers vote for this as the Fair Lady of fish and chips year after year.
