Sir Winston’s Fish & Chips

My friend and I were at Southgate Mall and wanted to grab a quick bite to eat. I found out that Sir Winston’s was about 3 minutes away from the mall so we headed there. Fish and chips had been on my list of cravings for awhile, too! It’s located in a strip mall shopping area and was fairly easy to find. The restaurant itself is very casual with a bit of a homey atmosphere. Their menu features a lot of deep fried goodness, from appetizers, to fish and chips, and even dessert (deep fried Mars bar). There are 4 types of fish to choose from: atlantic cod, atlantic haddock, pacific salmon, and pacific halibut, all 4 oz each. During my trip, I found the service to be lacking. Both our water and food took awhile to come out. The table beside us received their fish & chips first when we had ordered before them. Of course I didn’t let this affect my taste of the food though!

Atlantic Cod (1 Piece) $10 
I ordered 1 piece of the atlantic cod, which is one of the more common types of fish used. The piece was huge and delicious. The batter was light and crispy while the fish tasted fresh. But the fries? I was surprised at the small portion of it when my plate arrived. It appeared equivalent to a kids meal. They were just average fries too, nothing worth noting. 
Pacific Salmon (1 Piece) $11
My friend had a piece of the pacific salmon with a baked potato. He was surprised at the small portion of his meal. His fish was decently big though. The baked potato only came with sour cream and butter. 
For now, I’ll be going to other fish and chips eateries in the city to see how they compare. The prices were reasonable and the fish was delicious but I was quite disappointed by their sides. “Chips” do make up half of the meal!
