  • Little known fact - I worked at a fish & chips place the summer before high school and even a few summers into it. So believe me when I say I know a good piece of haddock when I see one. Halibut House is a newly opened franchise at the Shopper's World plaza at Danforth and Vic Park. I came here with a friend at his suggestion, and to be honest, I was a little hesitant. It was a chain I had never heard of, and a quick search on Yelp yielded the Kingston Road location sitting at a measly two stars with only a couple of recommended reviews. The plaza is also not exactly a hotspot for great eats or even shopping. Plus, since when has fish and chips at places like Jack Astor's or Milestones EVER hit a home run? I was well prepared for disappointment. But stepping inside, Halibut House is a surprisingly spacious and bright resto with cozy vinyl booths. The interior is tiled blue and white, with a sort of marine theme that reminds me of First Nations art. I also thought the tiled ceiling was ingenious - even though you can see the kitchen from the dining area, the open space doesn't get smoky or greasy at all. Onto the good stuff - we both got the haddock special, which is offered on Sundays and Mondays. Unbeatable value at $7 for a hefty filet and a huge serving of thick-cut chips with traditional oil & vinegar slaw. I actually couldn't put much of a dent in the latter, and sent my friend home with nearly a full-sized takeout container of chips. He didn't have a problem with his portion, so they were clearly pretty darn decent. The fish was flaky and perfectly fried. Malt/white vinegar/salt & pepper are table side, and the waitress brings squeeze bottles of other condiments like tartar sauce and ketchup. That's right, a SQUEEZE BOTTLE of tartar sauce. Need I say more? Eat your heart out, Waffle House! 'Sall about that Halibut House from here on out!
