Beer-battered fish with thick chips and malt vinegar, kept honest in Santa Monica by the British pub that has fried them for the expat crowd since 1974.
Ye Olde King's Head opened a block from the Santa Monica Pier in the mid-1970s and built its name on fish and chips, becoming the anchor of the city's British expat community, complete with afternoon tea and a gift shop bakery. The pub's fryer remains the standard the boardwalk stands get measured against.
