FISH AND CHIPS ON A FRIDAY NIGHT

So a quick Friday night trip to the Allencourt Restaurant in Richmond Hill for a quick meal of Fish and Chips. It is hard to find a good old fashioned Canadian restaurant in town anymore. Barb had her fish and chips with coleslaw and a coffee. I don't like coleslaw so had it with the Greek salad. I also had a coffee with my meal. The halibut fish was tender and the batter crispy. The french fries were big fries made in the traditional way. Like the kind that we make at home that can be fried in a deep fryer or on the stove. I get a craving for Fish and Chips once or twice a year. So craving filled, next Friday will need a different menu.

FISH AND CHIPS CANADIAN STYLE

Fish and chips are usually seen as a very British-English dish. Since many people who immigrated to Canada over the last 100 years came from the United Kingdom, it makes sense some of their dishes came with them.

On a recent outing to Port Perry, Ontario, Barb and I had lunch at the Halibut House. It is one of several fish and chip places in the town. We both had the fish, chips and coleslaw lunch special. I also had the fish chowder as an appetizer. Well it was one of the best fish served I have had recently. The batter was crispy and the fish thick and flakey. The french fries were big and tasty. Not bad for a Canadian meal!
