    This affordable little gem is a bit off the beaten path but has tasty fish and chips with parking a plenty.

    Seating is limited but there's a number of options (haddock, halibut, shrimp), including things of the land variety... such as burgers. Service is friendly and quick. The halibut was good and plentiful.

    One complaint, fries were the soggy variety and very under seasoned. Also the tartar sauce comes in little crappy packages and is cheap as they come  (read very mediocre).

    If you're driving, pick up some fish and chips and head to the waterfront park nearby for a fun slice of summer.

    The halibut here is nice and thick and the batter they use tastes great. The fries here are fresh and the coleslaw is fantastic. Our go to fish and chips.

    Stopped in on our way through town. The haddock special for $7.55 was an excellent value. Nice, light crispy batter on the fish. Some fries were a bit soggy, but most were crispy. I love that it's all prepared on site, including the fresh-cut fries. The place only has two tables. We had takeout, so that wasn't an issue for us.

    I've been coming here off and on for years. I especially love the name..! It's like a perfect preview of your meal. :)
    But really - the fish is crispy and tasty, the fries are a little greasy and delicious. I love how this place has survived (through different ownership over the 20+ years I've been coming) and still is relatively the same as I remember.
    The prices are competitive, and I've found if you want real halibut you're going to be looking at more than $10 for a 1pc meal no matter where you go. I suppose it's worth it, I never think that I really notice a difference until I get something other than halibut and I'm like...oh yeah. :)
    I hope this place sticks around another 20 years!

    One of my favourite local places to get fish and chips (as well as their poutine) in the Port Union area

    Restaurant is very small, with limited seating - it only has 2 benches. It is mostly for take out. The restaurant is also really old looking, and it has looked the same since I first started coming in here, which was during my elementary school days.

    I always find myself to be craving the food here, and most particularly their poutine haha! My boyfriend usually gets the Haddock and Chips, and he loves it! Portions are really good and always make you full, for a reasonable price.
