| - I expected so much more from a place that has been open for so long. Just coming back from a walk by the Lachine canal, I ordered a 2-piece fish & chips plate to-go (12+$). When I opened up their takeout box, I was shocked by the small portion size! On top of the small amount of food for the price I paid, the fish was unpleasant. I didn't like the fish that they used (not soft or flaky at all, but almost chewy??) and it was so greasy, like a burst of grease in my mouth upon biting into the fish. On top of that, I didn't like the taste of the oil that they used to fry the fish and fries, it had a strong, distinct flavour that wasn't very enjoyable.
"Mommy Fish and Chips" gets 2 stars instead of one because the coleslaw included in the meal is surprisingly delicious. Just the right balance of sweet and acidic, and shredded into small little pieces (not too small to become a uniform purée though, it has just the right amount of texture). So embarrassing to have a free side overshadow a restaurant's specialty item, though. I've had better fish & chips at Cage aux Sports... :(
