A simple matrix menu, that gives you the different types of fish matched with the different plate options (wraps, sandwiches, grilled, fried)
Even though most people should be looking for their fish to be accompanied by fries, you have to know that the accompanying salad (or additional side salad $3.99) is huge and very good. It comes with a nice vinegrette and a mango salsa
and heres the fish! a nice and simple crispy batter, made to order. No heavy oil taste, and the perfect amount of batter
The verdict is simple too, we love this place! We are by no means fish and chips experts, but comparing to the fan favourite Chippy's, as well as Fresco's in Kensington market and Harbord fish and Chips, both May and I think The One That Got Away is the clear winner.
The prices are very reasonable, the presentation is clean and fresh, and even tho their take out serves most of the customers, the seating environment is decent. The owner greeted us the first time, asked us if we had been here before and then explained his menu. I tried the Artic Char (one of my favourites) and May had the Pickerel (which was buttery soft). There are a few fish items that are sustainable (ocean wise, i think) certified too. The owner even came to chat with us a bit, and I told him i thought the fish was a little under seasoned to my taste and he made note of it.
A worthy try, just make sure you go on the weekends if you want to avoid the crowd. And if anyone knows where in the city serves mushy peas as a side with their fish and chips (like they do in London) please let me know! Happy fishing!
