My Place Fish and Chips

Relatively simple menu! We were puzzled by the "few chips" until we actually tried it and realized it makes more sense to have a "few chips" than "chips" because it's a LOT of food.

Huge wrapped portions!

Halibut and chips on the left and haddock and chips on the right

The halibut was firmer in texture and meatier - a good solid lunch portion. This was a serious fish meant to be battered and fried in a lighter batter to golden brown perfection.

Meanwhile, the haddock was a lighter and fishier tasting piece of fried goodness with a crispier and flakier tempura batter. The fish meat was more delicate and with the different batter, it really showed off the contrast in textures.

Both of the fish fillets were fresh and delicious! Contrary to popular misconceptions about fish and chips, the fish and chips here weren't greasy or messy at all.

I loved their batter! It was consistently crispy and in both cases, the different batters served as the perfect complement to the meat of the fish.

The downside was the huge chunky chips. I found them kind of soggy and greasy (compared to the fish) - clearly the fish is the highlight here.

Scallops (and half a haddock with chips again)

At first, they looked quite large and I was kinda scared I wouldn't finish them all but it turned out that the scallops in batter were fried with a lot of air inside. 

The scallops were fresh and decently sized and I really enjoyed them with the dipping sauce which was tangy and sweet. 

Overall: My Place fish and chips serve really yummy fish! The philosophy seems simple here: fresh fish + great batter (and less greasy oil to fry the fish in) + quick service = customers who keep coming back. I would really recommend this restaurant if you're in the area (p.s. the prices are really reasonable!).
