| - I have lived in the GTA for a few years now, and I'm a big fan of fish and chips. After spending a lot of time in the UK, I was trying desperately to find a place here that didn't use more batter than fish, five-week old potatoes for chips, and didn't try and pass off plain mayo mixed with some relish as tartar sauce.
I found Sammy soon after I moved here, and I had heard great things about his food. I ordered a fish and chips, and oh my goodness. The batter is deliciously seasoned, light and crispy, the portions of fish and chips are so filling, and Sammy is the friendliest man in Oakville. He goes out of his way to make conversation with you, and you start feeling like family the more often you visit him. Another time, I had a hotdog, and his hotdogs are always perfect. They're heated all the way through unlike some hotdogs I've had in the past, and the toppings are fresh, flavourful, and refreshing. He is always happy to give you extra tartar sauce (that you don't pay for, unlike Chippy's in Toronto), and as many ketchup cups as you need.
The food is reasonably priced, even for Oakville. Sammy only takes cash or debit, and that annoys some people, but a lot of people don't understand that if he were to take credit, he'd have to increase his prices-- Sammy's food is worth keeping some cash on hand for. His cart is a staple in Bronte, and I am so glad I found it when I did; it is honestly wonderful food that never ever feels heavy, greasy, or bland, and anyone who says otherwise needs to reevaluate what they think good food is. I go there all the time (literally, at least once a week!) and the quality has never declined, even on his busiest days.
