I can't help but think they're benefiting from taxpayer funds for the road work around their restaurant. The fish and chips were just okay—not fresh and heavily breaded. Overall, I found it to be quite overpriced for what you get.

I patiently waited over an hour for a grilled salmon,..after seeing that 15 orders after my number have been called out I politely asked the lady is my order coming soon, just in case it hasn 't been mixed up with so many orders,..she started yelling at me can 't I see that they are understaffed, marched to the kitchen and told the guy 'this b is complaining ',.. I was in shock,..couldn 't believe what I heard. She gave me very small piece of salmon that wouldn 't take more than 5 mins to cook. All the time I was there she was yelling at her poor husband and an older lady helping them out. I understand they were understaffed, but I wasn 't even complaining and didn 't deserve such a response. I am sure with those prices they can afford more staff. Such a shame for that prime location.

There are no issues with birds because of the environment, so the staff gladly takes care of the trash.

I visited frequently last month and was particularly impressed by the local live cochan, which was a delightful treat. The fish in the photos I took was much more tender than Penelope's version. The seating is right by the water's edge, adding to the ambiance. I usually opt for half chips since the portions are quite large. I highly recommend this place—I will definitely be back. Eating with wooden forks wasn't a hassle at all, but I plan to remember to bring my own utensils next time. Overall, an excellent experience!
