The new Halibut House location in Pickering opened on Sunday March 20, 2016, and had a buy one halibut and chips dinner and get one free special for opening day. With the deal, the place was slammed and we had to wait for about 25 minutes to get a seat at when we arrived around 12:30pm, They were cranking out the halibut dinners as fast as they could, so you didn't have to wait long for your food. The fish was excellent and the slaw was OK, but the chips/fries were not that great. They obviously were not double frying them to save time because of how busy they were, and the fries were on the limp and mushy side. I have eaten at their location in Ajax several times and while they never had the best fries, they were better than what we had today. Hopefully they will clean up their act and improve the fries or I doubt I will go there very often.
