zeke's fish and chips

reading this b-log, you might get the idea that the only place i ever eat is fred's, but it's not true. thar be several other classic fort worth chow pads which are also worthy altho not frequented as regularly by me. among 'em: the montgomery street cafe, kincaid's hamburgers, and zeke's fish and chips (sorry no website), a veritable westside institution that's been serving up the humongous slabs o' batter-dipped icelandic cod and justifiably-legendary fried okra at 5320 curzon, just off camp bowie blvd, for going on 30 yrs now. i introduced my middle dtr to the joint yesterday (she was raised as a non-fish-eater, but is coming around) at the start of a day of cowboy bebop viewing. she decided that the "snack plus" (one piece of fish with hush puppies or fries, cole slaw, a drink and a brownie) trumps the "short combo" (one piece of fish with yr choice of 2 veggies and pups) by virtue of being more generous and a whole buck cheaper. myself, i gotta stick with the special (two pieces o' fish w/fries and pups, to which i usually add a cup o' slaw, altho i didn't this time). a not-heart-healthy guilty pleasure and a li'l on the pricey side (hard to get away under $20 when you add drinks), but when you're in the mood for it, nothing else will do.
