My mom and I returned from our visit to London, determined to find the best fish and chips back home. It's been a few months, but we finally got a chance to start our fish and chips adventure.
Our first stop was the Mississauga Marketplace Fish & Chips, which seems to be the most popular in the city. We were here last Monday around noon, and we instantly noticed there were quite a few people in and out, ordering takeout, and others appeared to be regulars enjoying their lunch break.
A simple restaurant with a simple menu, and minimal waiter service. However, it was quick to order and pay, and the servers were friendly. Because it's fried to order, we waited a bit for the food to arrive at our table.
We ordered the Haddock & Chips Special, which comes with a side of coleslaw and a drink, plus an order of Cod. I personally liked the haddock better because I love eating firm, chunky pieces of fish (especially when it's fried) and it had more texture to it. The cod was softer and pieces fell apart the moment I ran my knife through it. Both fish tasted fresh though, the batter was also light, and the tartar sauce was delicious. The coleslaw was all right. The fries could have been better...
Onto the next fish and chips shop!
