I was told by my friend who grew up in the same neighborhood that Mississauga Marketplace was owned by the same people that owned the place we have been going to since we were kids.
The place I am referring to is Renforth Fish and Chips at the corner of Rathburn and Renforth in Etobicoke. Well it turns out he was right because although the owners were not there when I went today, their photo was on the wall.
This place is in the big strip mall at the south east corner of Eglinton and Hurontario in Mississauga. Upon entering there is a huge chalkboard sign at the cash which is essentially the menu as they don't bring any menus to the table. They are licensed however so I did order a beer.
The choice is simple... Halibut and chips for 2 and add another cod and chips only because this will be lunch and dinner combined.
The food was served fast... In less than 10 minutes and it was fresh and hot. I was in heaven because this food brought me back 3 decades to the place we used to go to when we were still in grade school.
Besides being nostalgic, the fish was damn good and the fries were amazing.
Our server was happy to hear we came to visit from the old neighborhood and she was happy to tell us all about the business and how they now have 4 restaurants. This location however was there first after leaving Renforth.
This was the best fish and chips I've had since we left Codmother in San Francisco.
We will definitely come back and I am happy we "returned".
