The portions were great and the haddock is sourced from Nova Scotia with all the "sustainable fisheries" claims. Well, it tasted fantastic and the lady running the place was also nice... no doubt from the East Coast herself. Or maybe just pleasant? 5 stars.

Best fish and chips I've had. I think it's their batter, super crunchy. Good portion sizes. Great prices. The waiter made a really dorky sound while giving us our order. Love this place!

Went in to grab something quick between calls. They took my order AND the cash promptly BUT........ they were SO SLOŴ getting the goods delivered - talking too much - that I left without any food. AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE.

I'm not much of a fish and chip guy, but after coming here, my views have changed. This place is awesome. $9.75 for lunch is a hard price to beat for the quality these days. You get a large piece of fish, fries and a can of pop. I have few regrets in life, and not coming here sooner is one of them. I will be back, I will continue to enjoy it, and there's nothing you can do to stop me.

I rarely leave reviews, but wanted to warn people. This is NOT good food. It was a Friday, so we thought fish & chips was the way to go and decided to order from a fish and chips restaurant. It had quite good reviews, which I always read before trying out a new place. If my experience wasn t so completely negative, I would ve just chocked it up as one of those things . But it was, almost completely negative. The 15 min wait was 25 min. The fries were flavourless - we had to fix them in our air-fryer when I got home. The portion of shrimp and scallops in the Fisherman s platter was meagre. The portion of halibut itself was on the small size and the batter in the halibut and chips order was chewy. Also oily. Like REALLY oily. The tartar sauce came in a condiment packet, was runny and tasted like fake mayo. The gravy I ordered and paid for was not in the bag when I opened it at home. In retrospect, I think I might be OK with that The only good part of the meal were the Portuguese tarts that I am willing to bet came from somewhere else. The woman at cash was friendly, but I didn t go there for a social experience.
