Yummmmms! I finally got to try this place and I really really really enjoyed it. The chips for me was the best part. I ordered the haddock and chips, it took about 10 minutes I think, however it was piping hot and so so good I had to sit down at the side bar area to have some before heading black to work.
The store itself has very few sitting area but Trinity Bellwoods is right across the street so if you had more time, that would be lovely. When I walked in there was one person in front of me and two ladies who were currently waiting for their food sitting by the window. During the weekday, not too busy but steady and weekends I have seen lines.
So, the fish--to me it was good, possibly because I prefer halibut over haddock, however the batter was really good--it was not overly breaded or 'doughy' but crispy and tasty. The fresh hot fries were so so so good, I really love fries and thoroughly enjoyed this with tartare and ketchup . Greasy spoon? Ofcourse it is but so worth it!
They are also btz friendly, 1500 btz for haddock or shrimp and chips and 400 for just chips. I had a hat with the owner and he was super nice! I really hope he is able to source yummy but I'll definitely check out the new desserts he's been working on and hopefully the kimchi fries...
4/5 stars because I think they just need some updating for more comfortable seating area
