Acadian Fish ‘n chips 1990 Hammonds Plains Rd, Hammonds Plains, NS Rating: 7/10 My Halifax Fish & Chips Quest continues, with a recent trip to Acadian Fish & Chips in Hammonds Plains. This summer I am making more of an effort to get out to those fish ‘n’ chips joints that require driving. Hammonds Plains is no easy trip for […]
Hellas Restaurant 664 Sackville Dr, Lower Sackville, NS Rating: 4/10 Last summer I started my Halifax Fish ‘n’ Chips Quest, for which I journeyed to 6 of the most well known fish ‘n’ chips joints in the city. I focused on places known specifically for fish ‘n’ chips, and that were accessible to pedestrians (mainly because I am one). I […]
This is the last stop on the first round of my fish ‘n’ chips quest.That’s now 6 places I’ve covered! So far, every place has been a fish ‘n’ chips speciality shop, and has been accessible to peninsular pedestrians. Fries & Co. has been located in Halifax’s west end since 1974, but has changed ownership within the last couple of […]
I just spent 5 beautiful days in the south shore, swimming, biking, boating, beaching, and generally losing weight. Therefore, I am a little behind in my fish ‘n’ chips quest. I know, I know… bad blogger! So when I got back to Halifax today, I ran straight to the nearest fish ‘n’ chips place. The show must go on, after […]
Evans Fresh Seafoods Alderney Landing, 2 Ochterloney St, Dartmouth, NS Rating: 10/10 Evan’s Seafood started out as a father/son fishermen team who wanted to sell their catch more directly to the public. Evan d’Entremont and his son-in-law Jimmy Kerr started the business in 2008 as a seafood market and delivery business. Now, with the help of extended family, Evan’s Seafood is […]
Quinpool Road is becoming an exciting mix of new and old restaurants, with classic institutions neighbouring a multicultural mix. The Ardmore Tearoom has been around since 1958, Freeman’s Pizza since 1956, Athens Restaurant since 1982, and King of Donair since 1973. I had always thought Phil’s Seafood was a remnant of the 1970’s but it is not so! The restaurant […]
I have to admit I had never heard of Willman’s Fish ‘n’ Chips, but apparently it is a local institution. Indeed, their Facebook page states that the restaurant was first opened in 1946 by George Willman. It changed hands in 1990, and again in 2004 when Lucien Nehme took ownership. Lucien expanded the menu and rebuilt the restaurant, which still […]
Last weekend I prefaced my Halifax fish ‘n’ chips quest by blogging about the best fish ‘n’ chips I’ve ever had. Prior to that, my most memorable helping of fish ‘n’ chips was at John’s Lunch in Dartmouth. Little has changed since 1969 when this place first opened, and it still has that charming 1970s vibe. Recently, Canadian Living Magazine […]
I have made the decision to embark on a Halifax fish ‘n’ chips quest this summer! This is a dish I often avoid because I find the combination of deep fried & deep fried to be so heavy and regretful. For this reason, I will only be eating 1pc fish ‘n’ chips all summer, and supplementing these posts with a […]
