I was introduced to Heritage Fish & Chips when I was a young boy and refused to eat fish pasta again on Good Friday. I'm still undecided to whether I should have started my fish & chips experience with Heritage, because it's been hard for anything to measure up.
This location, tucked behind the No Frills off the 410, has the benefit of a take-out area and dining area, complete with separate entrances. When I do visit, the service is always top notch. You're almost treated like family. The thickness in the air from the frying batter makes your mouth water as you await your meal.
I generally order the Halibut with Chips, but prices for Halibut have gone up. A friendly posting on the wall explains why, and requests that you order something other then halibut so the population can once again climb to sustainable levels. I now go with Haddock.
Either way, the food is excellent every time. The batter is crisp and not too greasy. The fish is flaky and tasty. The fresh-cut potatoes are as good as fries can get.
But if you're planning to go on Good Friday, bring a snack. The wait can be a while.
