There's nothing fancy at this place, and to be honest if I'm going to a fish & chip spot, that's what I want to see. The service was good, and three orders were served in less than 10 minutes after order. The staff here were fantastic - very funny and down to earth. I suppose it's what you come to expect from the smaller, mom & pop type restaurants here in Nova Scotia! The food was great. The fish was fresh, and the fries were home made. The fish wasn't fried in a heavy batter, which I found refreshing. It flaked apart and was certainly a fair size. I ordered the special of the day, which included their battered haddock and scallops with fries. I can say that the scallops were also delicious, deep friend in the same batter as the haddock. I'm not very big on the type of fries that this type of restaurant typically serves because I feel that they're overly saturated with oil. I had the same feeling here, but I know more people enjoy this type of fry as opposed to the ones at a fast food spot. If you're one of these people, and you enjoy seafood, then I'm sure you would absolutely love it here. To note: This place serves only Coke, not Pepsi. But, they serve it in the way it was meant to be served: in the glass bottle. I thought this was a great touch, especially for a classic fish & chips joint.

Believe the hype! Don't waste your time with fish & chips anywhere else - this is the only stop in…read morethe Valley if you're looking for the best fish & chips. Right on Main St in canning where parking is limited out front but many nearby lots for free. The space is not accessible sadly, as there are a few spots to get in. Watch out for the suicide door! Not sure what's going on here, but the hinges need to be readjusted because the door flies open when you turn the knob (also not great for accessibility vs. a handle - and requires Superman to close). So be warned! Minor details aside - the menu is small but priced well for the freshest fish and best local ingredients. The food was clean, not greasy and very tasty. This place is great for take out but also for sitting in if it's not packed. It's really small and quaint with only a few tables so if you're coming in tourist season - call ahead or be prepared for take out only! In addition - this is the new home/bottling location for Pay Day cider where you can purchase on tap, in bottles or refill your own. We only had the Dry cider and while it was nice, it was a little on the sweeter and carbonated side. There are multiple flavours to choose from. We've tried all the spots in the Valley and this is many points above the rest! We watched as people came and went for take out the entire hour we were there. It was telling to see many seniors coming in to pick up family-sized meals.

The coleslaw looked like cabbage floating in water. I asked the server if I could get another side of coleslaw that wasn't so watery, she brought me out a new cup but it was exactly the same. I got the haddock tips and fries; the fries were meh, not great but not horrible - the fish was decent. I also had a side of gravy (beef) and it was alright!
