I have a hard time giving 5 stars for anything. I always think there can be better out there. But I love my fish and chips, I have been to too many places and while most were good or great this place has me addicted. Old school style Irish, English, Scottish cardboard containers wrapped in paper deep fried hand battered halibut layed out on top of fresh cut french fries.. nothing fozen here. Amazing !! While I am Canadian and born here my family originally are from Ireland and England. Every time I eat here it just gives me that feeling or heritage. The deepfried battered mushrooms are exactly the way they should be .. greasy and crisp. The prices are not cheap but not over the top either. I would have to say they are regular priced for a fish and chip shop. I even brought my father there for dinner and he is more of a fish and chip guy then I am and he said it was one of the best. The take out area is usually packed and for me im more of a take out guy myself, however you can also sit and eat. I used to be impartial to Gotts fish and chips in Brampton but since the new owners it just doesnt feel the same. Heritage has my vote for amazing fish and chips, deepfried mushrooms and other great items.
I ordered deep fried shrimp and it was average. Everything else was 100% -

I like fish and chips as much as the next person so I thought I would give this place a try given a) the yelp review b) the reviews of coworkers about this specific location.
You'll see in the pictures that the portions are pretty big (plusplusplus) but for approx 10-15$ they better be.
The best thing of this meal was the tartar sauce though... (interesting point..those little packets of tartar sauce (PC brand but not president's choice) are the best tartar sauce ever. Several people at work and I all agreed that we've neevr tried tartar sauce better than that anywhere else...anyone else know a place with great homemade tartar sauce let me know!!!)
Maybe it was just this run, or that we brought it back to the office first but:
1) The fries were soggy. They were good in that way where you can taste through the sog and know that there was so much potential there...
2) I thought the fish was oily which for fish and chips is probably a must. But these were so oily that they went through the plates/napkins and oiled up the table beneath.
But even with all the oil...I could only describe these as dry. How could they be dry when they were this oily????
And don't take my word for it. We had an ex halagonian (from halifax...its how they like being called) who also tried my fish and said the same thing.
I would have rated this place higher except for these two reasons.
1) The halagonian holds strong sway on my opinion given her heritage with fish and seafood of all kinds
2) While I love eating oil especially if its disguised as food (because just eating oil is currently something that only future generations would appreciate and understand...like einstien or the catcher in the rye) but seriously...I couldn't taste anything else for the rest of the day but oil
However, the place has potential and maybe it just requires going there sitting down and having a proper old fashioned eating...so until then...Listed in: 30 days..tik tok
