Olde London Fish and Chips

I remembered this place while in the area and I suddenly had a hankering for fish & chips. I did a take out order of haddock, 4 shrimp and fries. The batter is tempura style which I wasn’t expecting. Still good. It made the fish taste a bit lighter but it still retained the greasy aftertaste of deep fried love. Heh.
My large batch of fries didn’t quite survive the journey home in terms of heat and there was more tiny crunchy ones than I’d like, but decent thick straight cut. The shrimp were really yummy, albeit generic frozen ones.
Kitchen staff all looked like high school kids. Sitting area was packed and is quite cosy space wise. Tuesdays are all you can eat for $ 8.99 though so that explains the crowd. Take out took very little time to be ready which is great.

Not a big place serves around 50 in the dinning room, does a lot of pick up orders. Clean with a slight smell of frying oil. The service was a bit lackadaisy she seemed more interested in getting ketchup bottles filled then serving tables. A lot of the diners are older and have been going for years. The food is good but the batter is more of a tampura batter then a traditional fish batter. The chips were delicious hot and crisp. Ordered the deep fried pickles and thought they would make them in house seeing as they have batter already made but i was wrong they were frozen ones that are found all over. Prices are ok. Over all not bad but i have had better as road side fry stall.

This is your basic English-​style fish & chips joint. I ordered the special, haddock & chips, with coleslaw, and the seafood chowder.
The wait staff was friendly & helpful. The food was excellent. They made a fresh pot of coffee, just for us.
I will definitely go back.

God, how cliché am I that I go to London, Ontario and have to eat at a fish and chips place? No, this isn’t England, but apparently my dad thinks it is.
Whatever, this place was really good but jesus the portions were insane. I got to try the Alaskan white fish, the Halibut, and the Haddock. The Halibut was by far the best, and the 5 hand-​breaded shrimp it came with were really good as well.
Skip the mushy peas. I’m not sure how those could ever be satisfying.
