We have fish & chips once in a while, and this quaint retro place has been around for some years. We enjoyed a reasonably price platter. Quick friendly service, thank you.

I'm very pleased and happy that I ordered a mouth watering delicacy of fish and chips for my mother and I at this prestigious restaurant!!! I appreciate firstly and foremostly the way everything was packed so neatly, clean and tidy, edible and safely... Secondly, I was surprised to find that the portions were heavily packed and generous in the offerings ... Mom and I ate half of our fish and chips each, the haddock with the fries, coleslaw and tarter sauce... I also very much appreciate the cutlery, stapled paperbag marked (8lbs) knowing I'm getting more than enough and for the Uber driver to handle with care due to the weight which he did... The meal was special, tasty, tantalizing our taste buds, while we watched a Michael Jackson documentary... A spectacular feast... Could serve 4 persons instead of 2 or like mom and I we will have the rest tomorrow again for dinner ... Thank you so much for treating your customers with significant care and acknowledgement. I really appreciate your time, service and delicious fish dinner that was delivered to us in a timely manner... Being a satisfied customer I will recommend your business and surely will shop again in the future another night when I'm craving Captain John Donland's Fish & chips . Sincerely, Carol and Ebony

Love this place! I've been here twice for takeout already (and attached photos from each order). Got the 5 piece halibut family pack with fish, chips, housemade tartar sauce and coleslaw the first time, and got the 10 piece haddock family pack (fish, chips, sauce and coleslaw) and some onion rings the second time. If you don't know your fish (like me), halibut is more firm, haddock is more flaky. Both were absolutely delicious! Light, crispy batter, great quality fish. Each time, we walked over, ordered there and then walked around until it was ready, and then walked back with our food. Even after a 20minute walk in snow, wind and -11°C weather, food was still hot and crispy when we got home! Their housemade tartar sauce and coleslaw are so good, we're definitely going to grab extra next time. There was a bit of a wait each time to pick up around rush hour since there's usually only 2 people working hard frying, packing and taking orders. But the owners are super friendly and considering the line out the door from locals and 3rd party delivery, it really says something about the quality of the food.
