The fish is still quite Canadian in its portion sizes but you've got to remember our geographical location! The chips are not as good as the best I've had in the UK but then again then are a damn site better than most chips I've had from chippys in the UK.

And, we're not in the UK, i've been here for 4 years, never been home so for me, its as good as i'm going to get and it was so enjoyable....especially when i managed to get some irn bru from across the street afterwards.

I had one piece and i thought it was a good size, i ate in though. The OH had a 2 piece and he ended up with 3 pieces of fish and couldnt finish it all.
I'm sure for someone who has been here only a short while the taste wont be so good - but for those who have been here longer it fills that gap

Very true Dawn.......are you going to change your status now as you no longer need to miss the Chippy

my biggest problem, I think i'll always miss the chippy i cant get enough, so i think now that i've found Sea i'm going to have to ration myself

I hope the OP is on commission!

I'm going to have my final portion of fish & chips in the UK either tomorrow or Thursday - will be savouring the flavour!

Unfortunately I'm not, just wanted to spread the word and generate business so that we don't lose a taste of home

JEALOUS isnt the word for it

As for Sea, It's nice to know it's there but i wouldn't rush back.
Having said that, when i had Fish & Chips on a UK visit last May, it was a bit of a let down.
Maybe the passage of time has clouded my judgement!

Sorry...

With apologies to the mods as we've just posted similarly on another thread but any BE Calgary and surrounds based folk that fancy meeting up for a bite at the McKenzie Towne fish and chip shop, drop us a PM or an email.

A few of us are going this Saturday but if there is a wider interest from this thread, then we'll arrange something separate for a week or two down the line so that the restuarant can plan better.

Anyway, drop us a PM and we'll see where it goes.

Eamonn & Janet.

Definitely count us in Eamonn, only been here just under 3 weeks but Fish and Chips would go down a treat.

Can we bring friends as we have a couple of expat families that have landed here and I'm sure it would be a great introduction for meeting new people.

Excellent Idea.

Great ali-simon, we'll add you to the list and friends are of course welcome. Other families in Calgary, Okotoks, Cochrane, Airdrie and other surrounding communities, new arrivals or otherwise, can post on here or PM or email us and we'll make the arrangements. The restaurant can only seat 30 so with the contacts to date, we might have to have a second sitting at this rate!

We're now likely to arrange this for a few weeks out, perhaps looking at Saturday, February 28th, 2009 at 6pm (to make it easier for children to attend) so keep the names coming.

Kind regards,

Eamonn & Janet.

Hi Eamonn

Count The Ross Family in - we will be there by then - OMG. Tell Ian to put the date in his diary.

Debbie

Hi Debbie,

Indeed you will. We'll let Ian know today.
