I have been to Sir Cedric's many many times.... even when I was a little kid and what I can tell you is that this place has been the same since the 70's.
This is Fish and Chips and from what I have always understood, Sir Cedric's has been around in the Windsor area since 1926. That's 85 years of cooking Halibut to perfection. This is not a fancy place, this is all about the fish.... cod and halibut from the Maritimes.
I am from Northern Michigan originally and I know fresh fish and this is one of the best in the Detroit/Windsor area. I am still unable to find the restaurant serving Whitefish that is straight out of the lake and within 24 hours of being caught, but Sir Cedric's haddock, halibut and cod keep me satisfied.
Great service, close to the Tunnel, awesome place !Listed in: Places in and around Windsor !

Fish and chips par excellence!
You can taste the sea, that's how fresh their halibut is. Firm yet flaky, a think coat crispy enough to give a good crunch, but without taking centre stage away from the fish. This is one place that knows how to make a good fish and chips.
The dining hall is fairly basic; service adequate and quick. -

Fantastic Fish N Chips!
Sir Cedric's is a nice little diner-looking joint on University Ave. They are well known around the locals for having some of the best Fish N Chips in the city. The place is gets filled up by locals and can get real busy. The service is incredible and they are extremely friendly and helpful. The menu sticks to what they do best. Various kinds of fish with some chips (homemade fries). Halibut, Cod, and Haddock are their specialties, but they are especially known for their Halibut.
I got the Halibut and Chips and a small order of their jumbo shrimp. The Halibut is a very firm and meatier fish, almost like chicken. The batter on the fish is very crisp. It tastes great too, but could have used some more spices. The homemade fries are great. They are pretty much skin-on fries that are salted great. Over salted fries are the worst and they seem to appear on fish n chips a lot, but not here. The Jumbo shrimp was alright. Nothing special. I wouldn't get them again. The tartar sauce must be made in house or something. It was very addictive.
Their prices are good for what you get and they have monthly specials which you should look out for. Make sure you come on Tuesdays because they offer specials on their fish n chips. (Halibut N Chips - $8.99 and Cod N Chips - $4.99). If you're a fan of fried fish, make sure you give this place a shot.Listed in: Good Eats in Windsor, Ontario

If you have a passport or an enhanced driver's license I advise you go to Sir Cedric's now.
The halibut is just amazing as are the a'la carte shrimp. Fresh and perfectly coated, just ideal. Firm, flaky, cannot be better in any way. Good tartar but to be honest this fish does just fine on its own. Nice chips, just evil fried delights, a little malt vinegar and a kiss of salt and I was blissful. The coleslaw is even tasty!
My husband really appreciates the do it yourself salt seasoning here. He of course added nada. He also preferred cocktail sauce to tartar and they were more than happy to give him more. They cut their own fish and potatoes on premises, I appreciate that a lot. Everything is just stellar.
Cross the border and swing by. Your arteries may hate you but your tummy will be pleased. -

I don't know what more I can say than what Roger did. Except Sir Cedrics is worth you getting your enhanced drivers license just so you can go here. American f/c's all tend to be greasy, Cedrics is very light a breading that's airy almost.
I've never had halbut up till now and WOW is it a nice tasting fish very fresh and absolutly no fishy smell to it. Firm, but light, if that makes any sense.
My special came with chips, slaw(AWESOME AWESOME), and a cup of clam chowder which was meh. The chips are deeeelicious, with malt vinager and some salt, yummy in my tummy. The ketchup is different tasting not bad but just different.
If you go it is waitress serviced, i went to the counter to order and was escortedto a seat oops silly american.
Couldn't check in via mobile phone??? -

Taking the hint from Brian F., I tried Sir Cedrics today. O my god... The food is delicious. I had the Halibut dinner, with 4 extra Jumbo Shrimp. Sir Cedrics endorses Halibut, but Cod and Haddock are both available at lower prices. I can't say enough good about Halibut. The fish was extremely fresh, perfectly cooked and breaded just right. The tartar sauce was an experience in itself. Clearly the tartar was freshly made, and had a slight green hue to it. It did not overpower the fish; the taste was enhanced and harmonized. The fantastic vinegar based cole slaw was a lot like the slaw I make, but they use a different white vinegar than I have tasted. Further investigation is necessary. The chips were fresh cut potatoes, perfectly cooked.
On the table was ketchup, as well as both white and malt vinegar. I used the only the malt vinegar (and salt) on the fries. One thing I noticed is the lack of salt coming from the kitchen. Sir Cedrics leaves the salting to the customer! That is the right approach folks.
Too bad you need to do the homeland security dance to eat the best fried fish in the area. Go here people. Think of this as the Pollo Chapin of Fried Fish . Its that good.
