So having tried fish and chips in almost all the restaurants in Nanaimo we decided to give them a try. Now it's not the Ritz, but the place is immaculate, the service is very good and the fish is excellent, as are the chips of course. My partner has trouble with most of the batter served on fish, she says it's too heavy, or stodgy and just not nice, and I agree. Not so here, the batter is perfect, golden, crisp, thin, doesn't mask the flavour of the fish. So we have to agree that this is one of the better places to eat good old "Fish and Chips" Now they have Cod at $9.99 for 1 piece, or halibut at $12.99 for one piece, they also do fish burgers and beef dip. Excellent parking is available as the shop is in a small mall.

Absolutely fabulous food and service. We had deep fried Halibut. The crust was thin and crisp, the fish was moistand cooked perfectly. We arrived shortly after 5:30PM and when we left around 6PM every table was full. This would indicate how good the food is.

This restaurant is conveniently located on my wife's way home from work, so she stops by for take-out about once a week. However, today she mentioned that she feels uncomfortable when the Asian lady at the register asks her for a tip. I told her that tipping should be based on good service and not just because someone is asking for money. I'm not sure if this woman is an employee or the owner, but I advised my wife to look for another restaurant where the cashier is more polite. We won't be returning!
