| - Came here with friends for lunch. Great location across from Trinity Bellwoods Park. They have cod, haddock, sturgeon, Halibut and shrimp options with chips (aka french fries) on the side. Price range is 8.50 (cod) to $13.50 halibut, including fries.
I was born in England, where fish and chips is a staple meal and been to many chip shops over the years. Chippy's was great, but didn't live up to my expectations. A traditional fish and chips shop, the fish is thicker battered and and juicy (read oil). The fries are thicker cut and the oil is...a different flavour which has an addictive nature to it.. As well, I used to love options like pasties or chicken and mushroom pie from an original chip shop. Chippy's does not offer these options.
The counter staff were friendly. Took about 10 min to make our meals, served fresh. Very generous serving of fries. For 4 of us, it came to $55 for lunch. Thats with 2 pops. Its a a fair amount for lunch, but seems a little overpriced for fish and chips. I think Chippys is a fun place, but...I want more bang for buck. Or more choice, more excitement in the menu. Oh and its strange they only take cash! Please invest in credit or debit services.
