Further east on queen -- I've heard good things about "Reliable" (Queen and Carlaw). My favourite for the past few years has been Caz's -- Davenport just south of Dupont.

Anyone know if Chippy's is any good? (Queen/Strachan) I've been told it's good, but never been. I'd love to try, though I'd be obligated to bring my family along to sample/compare

The chips at Chippys are great, my daughter and devoured a big serving of them last week on the way to her choir practice.. yum Fish is battered when you order it, good stuff. Reliable is the bomb. They were on that Restaurant Makeover show not too too long ago.

I disagree on Chippy's unless they've cleaned up their act in the last couple of years. Chips are not supposed to be soggy! Any fish and chips place batters when you order... unless they've got some weirdo frying technique!
IMO. Chippy's AKA Surlies is great if you're into paying too much to have apathetic hipsters take your money but I've never been impressed with the actual food.

I've also heard good things about the one at Coxwell/Dundas, but it's never been open when I've had chance to go

double date Keith?
Cane Creek got back to me and those funky hubs aren't for sale except in the wheelset.
Is she ever Keith ... somehow managed to keep me alive all these years, and still she's sane. Awesome woman.

I meant to add also that a yummy creamy coleslaw is a prerequisite to being a good fish and chips joint in my book. British style has the best slaw in a take-out joint next to The Real Jerk.....mmmmm Roti and slaw.

caz's = good. I used to get them when I lived up that way.
Harbord fish and chips was pretty good most of the times I've been there too.

For a second I totally did! Or at least thought that they'd nabbed him thinking that he was the guy... totally nuts! I think it's amazing but at the same time I think news outlets need to be more careful about what they imply when they chose a photo like that.

I think about 4 people will think wes is stabby. It will be funny to watch them run.
There used to be a place at Jones and Gerrard that had excellent excellent fish 'n chips, so good that I used to drive across the city for them. It was right by the park there and run by an older asian couple....I think their secret to perfect fish 'n chips was never changing the oil, mmmmmmmmm, so good.

end-of-day uber post:
I agree.. The first time I ate their it was pretty good, but I've actually found it getting nastier and nastier. The last couple times kind of put me off of it for good.
I was wondering about that place. Might be a Newfie shop as one of the main streets in downtown St. John's is called Duckworth St.
fish contained choking hazard tiny bones and the owner was super surly. that's my review.

WTF?!
