I've experienced that same Fish & Chips before and unfortunately it was during a BAD experience with Pickle Barrel.
I thought it would be nice to get a FRAN'S Fish & Chips which is a part of Fran's Favourite category. If that was one of Fran's Favourite than I think I have to question Fran's taste.
Have you ever tasted DRY Pollock before? Simply look at McD's Fish O' Fillet and cut inside then you'll understand how dry it was. I was home around an hour after and realized that a piece of the Fish was stuck to my TEETH like floss.
GOOD side of the dish was that there was definitely enough to feed a FULL grown Adult because there's a warehouse load of Fries. I liked the Cole Slaw side which was the most flavourful part of the meal much needed to offset the BLAND Fish & Chips.
The Rice & Raisin Pudding was a better CHOICE that took the flavour of Fish & Chips meal away. I do realize this is an Eggs & Bacon place where people chat over a hot cup of JOE rather than a dinner place, but I wished that Fran's Favourite could have been one of mine as well.
