The quality of their fish and chips is hard to come by these days.

But what great take out! $5.50 bought me a cod "snack" which was an ample dinner for one. The battered cod was excellent, but the deep golden brown chips were *heavenly*. I'll be back!

This is not a sit-in restaurant. This is a hidden greasy spoon behind a gas station with a couple of seats available to wait while your food is cooked (unless you called ahead to order). That's not a bad thing! Personally, I much prefer take-out and the family who owns the place are super nice and friendly.Unfortunately, I do have to agree with other reviewers about things getting soggy on your way home from the steam of the food and if you've had them put the vinegar directly on for you ahead of time. The flavour is still amazing, though.I've had the Boston Blue special (always too much food for me), the haddock and the halibut. For a gal who can't normally finish everything on her plate, this is no different - there's a lot of chips and the two-piece meal is generally more than enough. Though the Boston Blue 3 piece special is a great value for even more food.My husband always gets the shrimp, fish and chip special - the Fricks Special - and it's HUGE!I'm not a fan of their gravy, though - and I love gravy, generally.Downside - they're only open until 8ish (usually a little before) and not open on Sundays - though I've never found a fish and chip place that was.

It keeps me in almost as much as the weather! One day, I couldn't pass up the craving. I thought it was going to be an awful time. Imagine my surprise when a couple of people opened the door and stepped out so I could get in! Then I got even more of a surprise! (I have a bit of trouble with my hands so I had a bit of trouble getting my money out.) There was a lady ahead of me, she got her order and left. I went to get my order and pay. Imagine my surprise when they told me that the lady ahead of me payed for me! God bless her!So, staff and food is great and so are their customers!
