Tugboat Fish and Chips (Land Park)
food: 4.5/5
experience: n/a to-go order
overall: 4.5/5
Go tugboat go!
There's one thing you need here and it's their namesake, fish and chips.
Great, fresh, huge and super fatty (fork for scale). The batter is delicious, the fish is delicious. As you can see they're whole pieces of fish so be careful what you wish for (or order) cus you're gonna get a lot of food. Chips are just okay. Go for the fish. I'm not sure what kind of fish it is but it's good. Probably cod or haddock. I'm guessing haddock because I hate cod and these are good. And they're too long and skinny to be cod. They also have red snapper and catfish as fish options. Much better.
Okay so they do have some other items to try, mostly seafood. All of the battered and fried variety, naturally. Shrimp, scallops, zucchini, onion rings, mushrooms, cheese sticks, chicken... mostly all in the same scrumptious batter as the fish of course. Yes, vegetarians can get a plate of fried vegetables. Sigh. Missing out, fam.
The chicken strips are in a thicker batter that's not tempura-based. No one could tell me if the batter had corn in it so you'll have to try it for yourself and let me know how it tastes.
You can get your fish grilled if you're trying to save calories/your arteries.
Or you can go the other direction and get the whole filet in a huge po' boy.
Hush puppies are fried too so they threw that on the menu. Hush puppies are corn fritters for those not familiar with Southern food.
They even have fried banana for dessert!
One thing that's not fried: the soup. Duh. Clam chowder. Still just as fattening.
Unfortunately they don't know the ingredients they put in their own soup so I'm not willing to chance being infected with corn flour. Yikes.
Tugboat has locations all throughout the Sacramento area. As of this writing they have five open, though they had as many as eight at one time. The Lincoln location even serves sushi. Haven't been there yet but if it's anything like the fish I bet it's fire.

Meh, there's plenty of sushi in Sac. I ain't driving all the way to Lincoln. Stick to what you rock at, Tugboat.
