premise: It 's my own fault for not asking questions about the entree , but for some reason , I did n't think the fish would be fried . I actually thought it would just be coated in something crispy . My initial reaction was n't positive , but I will pretty much eat anything , so I dug right in . The cod was good , but like I previously mentioned , pretty average . It reminded me of fried fish meal from an Irish pub . What may be the reason for your initial reaction to the fish being different ?
hypothesis: It was n't fried like I thought it would be .
