| - My husband and I had lunch here yesterday. We didn't have the kid with us but were happy to see that the place is kid-friendly, with a children's fish-and-chips option as well as crayons and colouring books for dine-in use.
My husband ordered the cod sandwich, which featured a huge piece of fish between what looked like a Portuguese bun, and I had the halibut cakes with chips. There were a lot of chips on my plate, enough to share, and both of our orders included pickled onions (either as a topping or a side). Nice touch!
We were also given a sample of the coleslaw, which had a pleasantly light and fresh taste. (The Stockyards across the street still has the #1 slaw, with its fennel and seasoning, but the slaw at Sea Witch was perfectly suited to the fish. A good clean balance to the fried food it accompanies.)
Our server was friendly and funny, moving things along despite having a lot of tables to handle. It wasn't cheap but it also wasn't any more expensive than you'd expect for the size of the portions, the quality and the atmosphere of the restaurant. (Stylish yet practical with nods to British culture, especially when it comes to all the album and 45 sleeves hung along the counter.)
We're happy to have Sea Witch in our neighbourhood and will be back.
