| - There has been much debate about the amount of batter used at this establishment. I don't plan to join in. I simply want to put it as objectively as possible: The batter, like Baby Bear's porridge, is just right.
I've never found the batter mushy or greasy. For greasy, try Harbord ;-) The fish is crisp on the outside, tender on the inside. The fish has tasted fresh to me in all my visits (to both locations). You can opt for the most expensive halibut (too expensive, in my opinion), but in my experience, the cheaper cod and haddock taste just as good. Which fish is best comes done to what texture you like best.
The fries, while not the heavenly ones you might find at, say, Starfish Oyster Bed and Grill, are decent -- the type you can actually eat a lot of because you want to, and not because the fish doesn't fill you up or because you don't want to waste your money.
It would be another plus if they didn't charge you separately for the tartar sauce, and a little more seating (particularly at the Queen Street location) would be nice, but you can't have everything. What you CAN have is some reasonably priced, tasty fish and chips.
