Fordham Fried Chicken & Seafood Inc.

Inside this hole-in-the-wall joint, the focus is on the food rather than the decor. Customers eat at a long counter area beneath wall menus listing whiting, shrimp, and crabstick served on sandwiches or with fries. For those on a tight budget, the kitchen lets you order certain items by the piece. It is a clean, long-standing neighborhood fixture run by a family known to recognize returning customers even after years away.
