And this place is not all of that!!!!
For some time now, I’ve been told that I had to try Crokett’s Fish Fry, located on Bloomfield Avenue in Montclair, NJ. According to some of my email sources, family and friends, their fish was simply to die for!!
When I walked into this restaurant and take-out joint on Saturday, the warning signal for me which indicated something was wrong, was the strong smell of fresh bleach. The stench from the bleach overpowered any food aromas necessary to turn on my senses for an appetite.
The smell alone turned me off completely and I opted out of having a meal.
As my people placed their orders for fish, one of them noticed a small dead roach on the counter by the cash register. Of course they brought this to the cashier’s attention, who played it off as if it was nothing.
For those in my crew brave enough to eat what they ordered, they said, “their fish was bangin” a couple of others, said something different.
This establishment is a cash and carry only.
As for Crockett’s fish fry…No thank you!!!
