Henry’s Fish And Chips

This is where Gotts Fish & Chips used to used to be. Been going there for 15 years (my fav place for Fish & Chips) but since new management the product did suffer and eventually they closed down.
Never been to the Henry’s on Main but their new location was having their grand opening sometime ago (and I got free coupons) so I gave them a try. It is a Fish & Chip place but not a British style as i’m used to. Their prices were higher than Gotts. I ordered a Haddock and chips. I found it to be ok as the batter wasn’t very good. Considering it was their grand opening, being new I gave it a pass.
Fast forward to now I decided to give them another try. Cashier seemed a bit flustered, got my order wrong and gave me back incorrect change. Again I got the Haddock & Chips. This time there was no doubt. The batter was mushy, falling a part and everything was oily. Fries were ok at best. Below average.
I’ll stick with Heritage
2 stars.

I was on my way to the dentist and I wanted to eat something before I had my teeth cleaned. I spotted a fish and chips sign and immediately got excited. I’ve been craving fish and chips since I had heritages fisherman’s platter. They had a seafood sampler with shrimp, calamari, scallops and I believe it was clams or oysters not sure. I was only interested in the shrimps and scallops so they suggested I get the 8.99 combo that comes with four of each instead of the 12.99 seafood sampler, so I did. I upgraded my fries to a poutine for 1.99. I noticed they had some British pops I was not familiar with so obviously I had to try one. I opted for the tizer, it tasted like sour candy. It wasn’t bad but it’s not a flavour I would recommend washing down your fish and chips with.
When my fish and chips arrived I was visually disappointed with the fish and excited for the poutine. Don’t get me wrong the shrimps and scallops didn’t taste bad but there was no way they were fresh and breaded on the spot. They looked more like prepackaged seafood deep fried. The poutine on the other hand was everything you expect from and fish and chips joint. Dark gravy and thick cut fries. *salivating* for 13 bucks I was more than full and the service was friendly and attentive. Next time I will go for the halibut, hopefully it’s fresh and breaded on site.
Bonus my meal came with coleslaw yummers!
