Glad we did our homework. We had a nice visit and it will not be our last.\nWe went on a Sat before the dinner rush, it was perfect. (430pm) Service was great throughout and our waitress was knowledgeable about the menu and how things were prepped there (refreshing!)\nOrdered - the calamari ($10) and the haddock and chips ($16). Both were great. (also available - pollock, cod and at a pricier cost - halibut for $23) \nThe calamari is just lightly floured and very lightly fried. Not a drop of oil was seen on the plate!\nThe fish (2 pieces) was also cooked perfectly and the restaurant makes its own yummy tartar sauce! The deliciously hot fries were cut in house and left unsalted so you could season them how you want. The malt vinegar on the table was a nice addition too. Hot sauce can be brought to you as well as extra lemon, you just need to ask! The only thing I did not see on the plate was coleslaw - this was a first for me.\nWe spoke to the owner on our way out and he was a great conversationalist! He loves talking about fish and knows his stuff.\nThe look and feel of the cozy restaurant makes you feel like you are in a roadside/seaside shanty in NS. I loved this aspect of the place and the beer was nice and cold!\nLots of people were coming in for take-out so we know it has to be a local fave. We also bought some bacon wrapped scallops on our way out - they have a freezer that is well stocked full of goodies for purchase. They also have a cooler front and center when you walk in where you can buy fresh salmon, various other fish, shellfish, canned crab.\nI look forward to coming back here to try the clam chowder and buy some more stuff!"^^ . .
