Haddock vs Halibut


On March 14th we popped into Allencourt Fish and Chips Restaurant for lunch. This plaza and restaurant have been around forever, evidenced by the sixties decor. I liked their coleslaw, it tasted more like a vinaigrette salad with fine strips of cabbage, compared to the creamier versions. We had the more expensive Halibut because we didn't notice the Haddock on the board that was on special. It was delicious anyway.  It seems they are equally nutritious.  We used a lot of the packets of tartar sauce, I didn't get them in the photo.

A few days later they started closing the restaurants except for takeout and delivery, to protect from the Covid-19 virus.

I love that you said you didn't get pictures of the tartar packets. Too cute!

I love fried fish, perhaps I will make myself some, as I have fish in the freezer. Take care, Valerie

Everything seems to be drive through only. Even the banks.

Popped in....we can't be popping in anywhere! You can still go to drive thru or order for pickup and they bring to the car. Even places that don't do delivery has started that.

Fish and chips with lots of tartar sauce is one of my favourite meals!

Yes same here. Many places are closed for dine in, but you can do carry away so that is good keeps people employed and helps people when there are shortages at the markets

I like fish and chips. As for cole slaw, I prefer it with mayonnaise.

Looks delicious! All restaurants here have shut down. Only take-out or delivery is in place with special measures on how to handle the exchange between store and customer.

Oh how delicious! I have just eaten but I could easily go for these fish and chips. One of my favorite foods and definitely a nostalgia one coming from the UK, mum asking us girls to go up to the chippie to get our dinner in wrapped up newspaper. Those were the days! Thanks for the memory Christine :)

Before I became vegetarian, I liked a good bit of haddock. Can't recall if I have ever tried halibut though!

Same here, so many places shut and a lot of takeaways too, though they were exempt from closing - a lot have!
