Scarborough got it's name when Elizabeth Simcoe (wife of John Simcoe first Lieutenant Governor of Ontario) commented that the bluffs facing lake Ontario reminded her of the bluffs of Scarborough England. Consequently, settled by a largely anglo-protestant population; the last vestiges of this original diaspora can be seen in the plethora of Fish & Chips Places.
Malt N Salt Fish & Chips is probably one of the better examples of a Fish & Chips place in Scarborough. Tucked away in a dingy strip mall surrounded by pot holes, this unassuming restaurant produces some of the best fish&chips in Scarborough.
The fish is not too oily, it doesn't have that odd aftertaste you sometimes get with fish which isn't fresh.
The fries are done well, often at Fish&Chips places the fries go from ok, to inedible faster than a co-ed running from Ben Roethlisbergers hotel room. Here, however they remained good to the last bite.
The coleslaw was a little too creamy, I usually like it a bit more vinegary than creamy. However, it wasn't too terrible.
I'd go again for Fish & Chips.
