Terrific video Mark. Would love to see a Top 10 Best Fish n' Chips list. Cheers from Toronto!

Had take out from Ches’s in 1980 - my first and only visit to NL. Drove up to Signal Hill to eat. I remember it as if it was yesterday. Had a couple of cold ones too, Black Horse Ale.

Love love ‘by the beach’ fish&chips. My parents used to run a small fish$chips store in Abbotsford, BC so whenever I eat f&c, it brings back childhood memories.

Loves my fish &chips, worked in NLFD in 2013 for 8 months, wr ate good there at the camps in long harbor, had fish n chips weekly along with jigs dinner and top sirloin, lots of good food but never got out to the community, thanks for sharing when I go back for a tour.

I live in Brigus newfoundland and ate there last week for the first time....best fish and chips iv had in a restaurant 😋

Production value on this is great man keep it up

When I was a kid There was more than Leo's and Ches's down at the bottom of Freshwater Road. There Was Johnny's, Scampers, and before the fire in the 90's, The Big R.

I had a family member with a take out in Jacques Fontaine which is very small. He worked a Trolls in BC, so similar fish/chips. He made a good homemade gravy that the locals would buy on it own for dinners.

We did Ches's on Freshwater, really great experience.

Great video! I grew up down the bottom of Pennywell Rd right around Ches's and Leo's. I was always a Ches's man growing up but Leo's was excellent! I remember when Scampers was at the corner of Lemarchant and Longs Hill and the Big R was on Harvey Rd across from the CLB. It was fish n chips heaven growing up. I've made mention in another video but there is a difference between townie and baymen fish n chips. Baymen do it well, townie do it best! 😂 Keith's really is excellent. Another spot deep into the Irish Loop is Riverside in Cape Broyle, it is lovely. I loves me a good dressing as long as there are no onions so i always have to ask beforehand.

You showed the ferry to Bell Island, my uncle was the Captain of the John Guy, Kipawaw, and another one until he retired. Once we got out, he stepped away from the wheel and said she's all yours.

Ай бұрын

Its actually pretty interesting why it’s like that in Newfoundland. I can’t be sure that this is why, but I remember as a little kid the big Coke bottling plant shut down and a lot of ppl lost their jobs. Pepsi kept their plant going so everyone got behind them. I was super young and never really understood what that meant at the time but I still remember it being a very big deal. I’m pretty sure that still plays a role in how Pepsi is much more prevalent than Coke in NL even to this day.

Sea side fish and chips in CBS is one of the best places on the island to get fish and chips, it’s so good

If you enjoy unique Newfoundland restaurants I highly recommend Sharon's Nook in Grand Bank, lovely atmosphere and while not necessarily purely a fish n chips spot they do a deadly fish cake. Also the best cheesecake in the province hands-down (this is a very biased take). No trip to the Burin Peninsula is ever complete without going there.

Word of warning about NFLD fish and chips. It will ruin fish and chips for you elsewhere. We're from NB, went to NFLD a few times to visit family in CBS. Fish and Chips are a must do in NFLD so we went to Denver's. OMG it was soooo good. We ate there a few times before leaving. Once home we would eat out and order fish and chips but we haven't found anything as good as it was in NFLD. Definitely would go back.

What is dressing? Like stuffing? Can you use stove top as a substitute? Also why don’t you add ketchup to your fries?

@andrewhayes88

Ай бұрын

Newfoundland dressing is used as a stuffing for turkey but used a lot with fish and chips as well. All it is, is Mount Sio savery with breadcrumbs. On fish and chips it's usually served dry, not cooked. When used as a turkey stuffing, it's more wet/cooked (which I honestly prefer but I will eat the dry dressing as well). It's nothing like Stovetop style dressing/stuffing when it comes to looks or taste.
