  • Fresco's Fish and Chips is a casual take-out in the heart of Kensington Market. The menu caters to both British and Canadian tastes, offering bettered cod, halibut, salmon, and haddock with chips alongside various poutine types. Fresco's also does chilli bowls and sandwiches. Being from the seaside resort of Brighton in the UK, I do sometimes miss a good battered cod, so I decided to investigate Fresco's claim to being "the best fish & chips in town" for myself. Although I was tempted by the salmon and chips, I ordered the classic cod and chips. My server encouraged me to try one of the two cod pieces with the crispy batter, an in-house favourite made from Miss Vickie's salt and vinegar flavoured crisps, which cost me $1 extra. The Good: Everything was fresh and fast; my order was ready within minutes. The chips were hot, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The potato skins were left on, and they were delicious. The fish was tender and moist and came wrapped in newsprint-decorated lining, an affectionate nod towards the British tradition of serving fish and chips in newspaper. There was an excellent selection of condiments, and the dish came with home-made coleslaw and tartar sauce. The two servers I interacted with were friendly and enthusiastic. The Bad: The traditional cod was not crispy enough for my taste, and although the Miss Vickie's battered cod was crispier, the addition of the crisps was not worth the additional $1. The fish itself was too bland and could have benefitted from a thicker batter. Overall: Judging by the quality of the chips compared to the quality of the fish, Fresco's might make a better poutine joint than a chippy. However, the service was excellent and the place itself, while small, was welcoming. Keeping with the British theme, the walls are adorned with Beatles paraphernalia and the same plays in the background. The speed of service means it's ideal if you're looking to grab a bite to eat on your way home. The Crowd: Two families, a couple in their 20s, and some middle-aged people. Pricing: $10.95-16.95 for various kinds of fish and chips, $2.98-9.50 for sides, $3.98- 10.95 for poutine varieties.
