When I'm in the mood for fish and chips I always go to Harbord fish and chips for a few reasons:
They use halibut and you get two nice pieces of fish with fresh cut fries (you can see them cutting them right there) for $15 and they wrap it in newspaper so overall a legit place!
I kept hearing about Fresco so I thought I had to check it out - the service was outstanding, the fella at the counter was friendly. We ordered 1 piece with fries which came to $16.
The fish was okay but not that great - something about the oil they use didn't taste very well. Would I go back? Not if I can go to Harbord which in my opinion beats Fresco's any day! The fries were decent as well but not as good as Harbord, overall, I'd stick to Harbord.
