this is near Reliable and worth a try. I find it to be the best in the city. Ali the owner cuts the filet of fish in front of you to order. Batter is family secret recipe directly from London.

So, I went on Friday. I got to say the chips were fantastic. Perhaps the best chips i have ever had. Certainly the best i've ever had when eating fish & chips. But, I didn't really like the batter. I found it stayed too wet next to the fish and wasn't as cripy as I like.

Do note, however, that I am not one of these people who likes their batter super crisp. I find several places have too crisp and shattering a batter. The batter has to be slightly pliable, but, I don't want excessive moist doughyness next to the fish.

I know that sounded like I didn't like it. That's a lie, I did. The fish was excellent and the batter wasn't "bad" just not the best. So, I think this place is second in my rankings just behind Reliable. The chips were better -- the fish not as good. Maybe I'll buy the fish from Reliable eat it on the way to British style and then order some chips to go? Or is that overkill?

I second this - my husband is from the UK and this is the only fish and chip place he will eat at anymore in Toronto. Says it is the closest to "authentic" he has tried here. And he hates Chippy's with a passion!
