I have decided that I prefer lightly breaded perch over beer batter cod, but this was still really good for he price.

I prefer crumbed fish too. It is hard enough to get half decent fish and chips in Finland though, let alone crumbed. In Australia it is easy as, though normal is beer batter of course. I was spoiled in Cairns though, because the fish was so bloody awesome everywhere.

On the flip side, if you have to walk around on eggshells and not be your true self, is it really worth it?

The problem with many relationships, isn't it? People are so sensitive that they can't take criticism or potential criticism, nor can they stand by without reacting to anything that makes them feel uncomfortable, making them criticise others. Fragile situations for sure.

I prefer to do what I do and let the chips fall where they may. Hopefully they fall next to a piece of crumbed barramundi and some decent tartare sauce.
