Well I was back again (I think it was July 28th, 2013) with a friend to Fresco's and it was another great visit. This time it happened to be a Pedestrian Sunday in Kensington Market, and I had no idea that would be going on. It made for a perfect relaxing Sunday of sitting on Fresco's little patio, while listening to some local bands in the background and people-watching on the street. We were there around 2:30 - 3:00-ish in the afternoon.
There was a kiosk out front serving crab cakes; but we headed straight inside to place an order off the regular menu. My friend ordered the cod and chips with one piece in each batter, and I ordered shrimp and chips doing half the order in each kind of batter.
The man running the cash came out to tidy up the tables and sat down to have a chat with us for a bit and see how things were going (and maybe to escape the heat from the kitchen).
The shrimp were plump and juicy. In fact I had to give one away and leave some fries behind. Again everything was crispy, indicating good maintenance of the fryer oil and high temperatures.
