I grew up in the Beaches area. On my way to and from school, I would pass by a fish and chips store. My parents would get takeout often from this restaurant. When I could afford to buy something there, I'd get chips, wrapped in newspaper.
After my grade 12, I worked there that summer. The owners liked me. They insisted that I have dinner there after work. I thought that it was weird, but I caved in. It served the best halibut and chips.
That restaurant is long gone. A few years ago, I found a similar mom-and-pop restaurant that served yummy halibut and chips. Sadly, that one folded over a year ago. A cafe now occupies that location.
Enter Halibut House. I decided to order halibut and onion rings for takeout. I think that I have found my place for halibut!
The halibut was perfect. It was flaky and tender. It's a decent size and it has a thin, crispy batter. I get tired of fries these days. I opted for onion rings. So good! The onions we're sweet and the batter was perfect.
I have a decent fish and chips place again. I will come back and give some other goodies a try.
