Captain Cookes Fish and Chips

A small mom-​and-​pop type place on Parliament Street. The interior looks like it hasn’t changed in 30 years, and you can see the kitchen where they are preparing your food (if that is an issue for you).
I had the chicken and chips, but will go back for the fish. The chicken was moist and tasty, but I wish the batter had more seasoning. The fries were delicious, and appear to be cooked in lard (if you remember the flavour of fries cooked in lard and not vegetable oil).
The owner was friendly and served me promptly, though the food (cooked from scratch) took about ten minutes. If the neighbourhood and hole-​in-​the-​wall appearance doesn’t bother you, this place is a great value and definitely worth the prices.

The portion of Halibut for $ 8 was only 3 inches by 3 inches. The fish itself was very thin. When it was served I actually asked the clerk «Is this all?» she said «Halibut is expensive».
I will never go back. Unfortunately, this restaurant is in a neighbourhood where many residents can’t afford more expensive meals, but I’d still say a teensy weensy piece of fish and a fair-​sized portion of low-​cost low-​nutrition fries is very poor value. I’d call this taking advantage of the neighbourhood residents. They deserve better.

Small store on Parliament seriously a gem!!! The owner is so nice, and the fish & chips are good!!! Fish is kind of small but still worth their awesome prices :) would come back here! For the love of fish and chips
