| - This is an unexpected treat - a place for hipsters that actually has good food!
I like to think of myself as a fried food connoisseur (or at least on my way to becoming one, based on the quantity of deep-fryer oil I consume.) For me, Chippy's produces some excellent fried goods. The haddock is hot and flaky in a thing, golden batter. The chips are short and stout and taste a lot better than I'm making them sound.
Other options include cod and halibut, as well as shrimp and scallops. One thing I don't like is that every sauce is an extra charge, aside from the bare bones lemon/ketchup/vinegar.
But the food is so good you don't really need tartar sauce. They ran out of mushy peas, which would've been nice.
Countertop seating with huge windows opening onto Trinity Bellwoods Park, perfect for West Queen West people watching, or get your order to go and brave the pigeon gangs.
Also, because it is suitably hip, it showcases a great soundtrack - the terrific Beach House album was on for my most recent visit.
About $12 for one order of fish and chips, cash only.
