| - One of our few regular stops when we're on the east end of town. Reliable Fish and & Chips offers some of the best in the city.
There are usually four fish (halibut, cod, salmon and haddock), and a few other 'specials' on the menu. Our standard order is two pieces of fish and fries. The fish comes in a pretty light batter, which is great, because you get mostly fish (whereas many fnc places try to use more batter than fish). It's quite tasty. Fries look like they're hand cut, and they're usually of a thicker variety. They could give the patron's a few more fries, considering they're mostly filler on the plate, but the quality is good.
Eating in has improved dramatically since the makeover, and it's a pleasant, clean atmosphere. The owner and cook is friendly and really does seem to enjoy his work. Easily accessible via the 501 streetcar, they do close a bit early for my taste and are not open on Sundays.
Overall, one of our favorite spots in the city. It boggles my mind how people prefer Chippy's soggy, tasteless batter and absurdly greasy fries to a place like this. They've really made great strides in the last few years in making the place inviting, but the fish, as always, has been great.
