Absolutely amazing fish and chips! Great outdoor environment in the warmer months and cozy indoors in the colder ones! Great deal with beer and meal too!

This place is a hidden gem at the end of a dirt road. Ordered fish and chips that are hand breaded and fries hand cut. You have your choice of 20 different kinds of vinegar and salts to add on your meal. Totally recommend trying the smoked vinegar on the fish it was amazing and the smokey flavour only enhanced it. Tables are outside facing the water you can't beat the view!!! Give it a try you won't be disappointed.

Absolutely delicious! The fish was perfectly crispy, and the chips were golden and fluffy. Great portion size and super fresh.

This little place was amazing, some of the best fish and chips I’ve ever had, excellent beer too! They make their own malts, and vinegars, delicious. Great service, perfect day to sit outside on Lake Huron in Goderich, Ontario! Highly recommend a visit!

Great place, we have been coming here for years, definitely a gem for fish and chips. The employees (Ben & Tyler) were amazing, very attentive, and welcoming. Now they have the indoor dining as well for the winter, which will keep us coming back all winter. Keep it up guys !

We were camping over at Point Farms PP and came here after seeing YouTubers Ben and Cheryl of Camping with the Coles recommend it while they were staying in the area. Definitely glad we came. It’s definitely not fast food but it’s worth the wait. There was no indoor seating option but there were multiple picnic tables to choose from - unfortunately none had any shade umbrellas and it was hot and sunny while we were there so we didn’t stay long. Bonus was there was live entertainment with someone playing guitar and harmonica and singing tunes. That was fun. The fish and chips we got were fresh and very good. Definitely recommend!
