Walk into Kostas on North Parade and you're stepping into the kind of place that doesn't need to try hard—it just works. The batter's got that golden, crispy exterior that shatters under your fork, the fish inside stays flaky and tender, and the chips are the thick-cut sort that actually taste of potato. It's casual, no-fuss eating where families pile in after school runs and locals know exactly what they're getting. The sort of spot where they've clearly worked out their formula over years and aren't about to mess with it.
