| - Being situated within the food landscape of King and Spadina, The One That Got Away is a more affordable, causal spot for lunch. I've been here twice and on both occasions I got the fish basket. It was my friend who introduced me to this joint and he recommends the fish basket to anyone who frequents.
The basket is about 16 dollars plus tax, but it's a sharable dish for two. Therefore, it's decent in regards to its price to portion ratio. The basket consists of a mountain of thickly cut fries topped with two fish fillets, calamari, and shrimps. Everything is fried, so this was a perfect choice for a Friday lunch (Fried Food Fridays, I call it). Everything tasted pretty standard here in terms of flavour and nothing really stood out as spectacular on both occasions. However, the ratio of seafood to fries changed on my second trip; the fillets were smaller and there was only a sprinkle of calamari and shrimps. It seemed to be a cost-saving measure which I did not appreciate. Overall, I wouldn't say others should jump at the chance of eating here, but definitely consider it if you want a cheaper option to sate your seafood craving.
