Fishing for the best fish and chips in town. This is one of my favourite weekend adventures.
What makes a fabulous fish and chips basket?
For me, it’s first biting into a light, crunchy, flaky batter and then into a fresh fish filet (halibut, preferably). Tartar sauce should be made in-house with just a touch of tang and creaminess. Perfectly fried french fries and fresh house-made coleslaw to pair as accompaniments.
| These establishments serve some of the yummiest fish ‘n chips. Some of them have seasonal hours, and open only during the spring and summer months. | |
