So many fish in the Sea!

See All Lists
Not all fish and chips are created equal. Just a simple meal. A piece of fish and a side of fried potatoes. When it's right it's a thing of beauty and when it's wrong it's a bottle of Imodium waiting to happen. Here's my list....

Reliable? I think not. After reading the reviews of the previous Yelpers I had some degree of expectation for some decent fish and chips at this city landmark fish & chip corner. Alas, t'was not to be. Me and my meat-loving sista, Shari M.…More »

There are plenty 'o fish in the sea but the ones that end up on the plates at Olde Yorke Fish & Chips are just a joy to be had, or in this case, haddock. Oh gosh, I think the punster that is Vivek is starting to rub off on me.

I finally made the…More »

Two & a half stars.

I'm still chugging Pepto Bismol to help me get over the greasy stomach overload of Harbord Fish & Chips.  Don't get me wrong, when eating fish & chips I expect a level of greasiness.  About three bites into the fish and I knew I…More »

I have always believed that the U.K. was put on the planet so we'd all know what good fish and chips were supposed to taste like. Over the past few years there has been a great decline of the corner chip shop all over the island. I suspect this is in…More »

I can't seem to make the star go half way because I'd give this little Mom & Pop's spot 3 &1/2 stars. Sun Crisp Fish & Chips has been a staple on Weston Rd. since I was a child. This is the hood known as Mount Dennis. It is as basic as it gets. For…More »

Recently updated lists from Christine C.

La Vida Es Buena! (8)

Here's to the good life!  This list is a reflection of some of my happy spots in and about the GTA.  Sometimes it isn't just about the food, sometimes its the vibe or the sense of goodness you get about a restaurant or entertainment venue.

Hakka Hakka Hakka! (3)

No, I'm not trying to clear phlegm from my throat.  This is my Hakka list.  Thank you Devan for inspiring me to discover my true Hakka love!

The Last Supper....communal dining at it's best! (5)

Communal dining is a growing phenomenom in restaurants and cafes in about the city.  It ain't for everybody but it can be a fun and interesting experience.  I

Where There's Smoke.....There's Meat (7)

And on the seventh day God created the barbeque and hence began the quest to create the perfect barbequed food.  I love my 'cue....from the deep south philosophy to slow and low all the way through to the Carolina's where it's all about the sauce and the sizzle.  

This is my meat journey.

My Decemburger! (17)

"A Hamburger is warm and fragrant and juicy. A hamburger is soft and nonthreatening. It personifies the Great Mother herself who has nourished us from the beginning. A hamburger is an icon of layered circles, the circle being at once the most spiritual and the most sensual of shapes. A hamburger is companionable and faintly erotic. The nipple of the Goddess, the bountiful belly-ball of Eve. You are what you think you eat." - Tom Robbins

Grape Expectations! (3)

I consider myself somewhat of a closet Oenophile!  I live in a small house and tucked away into the lower level of my house is small wine storage unit with a temperature control (currently it sits at 57 degrees).  Currently it holds about 220 bottles, primarily big, bold, full bodied reds, a few champagnes and a couple of other trinkets.  I have travelled extensively, guided by food and wine.  I would like to take this opportunity to perhaps do some wine reviewing and make some suggestions as to the good, the bad and the ugly at the LCBO.  After all, life is too short to drink crappy wine, right?

"My favorite four letter word that starts with an F..... food."
