We came here specifically because it's hard to find a place with good gluten free food. When you arrive you order at the counter and then grab your drinks and sit down at a table. Your food will be brought to you when it's ready. The staff were friendly and accommodating, I think they were training the cashier when we were there. Food was really good! Crispy and light and the fish was soft and flaky, not over cooked. The fries were also pretty good and the coleslaw was great! It was not busy when we were there and the dining area is a bit run down, but man the food was good. I'd order take out from here in a heartbeat! read more

Stopped into Brits today on our way home. This is the same owner as Lawsons fish and chips on the west end so we had to try them out. And they have a gluten free fish meal also. There were Zero patrons in the restaurant when we arrived but we were eating early. The seating area definitely needs a refresh, chairs are pounded down on the seats and the decor is dated but the service was quick due to nobody else inside. We ordered the 2 piece cod with chips and a side of coleslaw and mushy peas. Fish coating was crispy and tasted good with the tartar sauce added to it and not too greasy. But unfortunately the fries were cooked in dirty oil and tasted unpleasant. We both didn't eat the whole portion. Mushy peas were exactly what you think of...mushy peas but tasted good and the coleslaw was not bad. We will probably never come back to this location when we know Lawsons is so much better. read more

I tried out Brits Fish & Chips a few times since friends recommended it. My favourite has been the haddock. Every part of it was good: large pieces, good batter, nice ratio of fish to batter. The gravy on the side also added an extra/different flavour to things so I'd rate it 8.8/10 read more

Very disappointed used to be our go to for fish and chips. Won't be returning the fish was long but very thin so no flaking and fries were not crisp and tender inside they were hard, used to be packed for dinner. Should have clued in when most tables were empty. The quality of food do not warrant the $$. read more

Our favourite fish and chips place. Always fresh and tastes great! Fries are so good! Halibut is great! Batter isn't thick. It's and crispy. Not oily. Hits the spot each time!! read more

Shortly after I first moved to Edmonton back in 2004 I remember reading an article about a fish & chips shop (or chippie, if you will) in town. I remember thinking that the food and authenticity of the experience sounded amazing and I couldn't wait to try it. As someone who hadn't traveled much at that point and had certainly never been to England, I was so curious to try a real version of fish & chips. That restaurant was Brits Fish & Chips and I have been enjoying them ever since. (I have also now been to England twice.) The original location opened in Coronet Addition Industrial, which is the opposite of a flashy part of town, although they have since opened a second location downtown. However, I only ever visit the OG restaurant, which I feel a strong loyalty toward. VUE Weekly voted Brits #1 Best Fish & Chips 2018 and Edmonton Journal awarded them Best Fish & Chips Restaurant 2020 and Best Fish & Chips Restaurant 2021. After all these years, they're still quite possibly the best place to get fish & chips in the city. Pulling into the parking lot, you'll notice their recognizable logo and signage immediately. (It's kinda hard to miss a fish with a mustache and a monocle.) Walking through the doors, you are met with the most glorious aromas of fried fish, salt, and vinegar. The space is meant to look a lot like a chippie in the UK, with wooden beams, murals of old-timey men fishing on the River Thames, and my personal favourite; posters of old Mersey Beat covers featuring The Beatles on the walls. Normally the music playing is also exclusively The Beatles, however on my recent Saturday evening visit this wasn't the case. The atmosphere is warm and casual, certainly not bothered with too much flash. The first thing to do upon entering is to approach the counter on the right. This is where your order gets placed and where you're able to gaze over the chalkboard menu. Not much has changed since my first visit 18 years ago and it's nice to see that the classics have remained the same. Obviously they serve fish & chips - they have six different types of fish to choose from. But they've also got traditional English pies and other specialty items like Cornish pasties, battered sausage, and haggis. You don't have to search long for a truly authentic UK experience. But also deep fried pizza?! I like to start by hitting up the coolers and checking out what sorts of imported sodas are on hand. There's usually tons of Irn-Bru ($3.76) available, the pop beverage of choice in Scotland. Described as having a fruity cola taste, I find that it tastes a bit like a cream soda. It's bright orange in colour and a fun treat when looking for the right beverage pairing for fish & chips. Once ordered, you get to stroll into the dining room to seat yourself wherever you want. The food usually doesn't take very long and a friendly staff member will deliver it right to your table. I've been ordering the exact same thing from Brits for a long, long time. It has always gotta be The Works (2 cod, 2 haddock, 2 chips, 2 sides, onion rings - $41.50). If you're sharing with other person, this is the way to go. You'll get everything that you need for an excellent, well-rounded experience. When this heaping mountain of golden-brown deliciousness gets placed before you, you will know that you are in for something special. Unfortunately, they aren't allowed to wrap the fish in newsprint like they do in England but their cute checkerboard paper is a nice alternative. There are six sides to choose from which include; mushy peas, gravy, homestyle coleslaw, sliced bread and butter, sweet curry sauce, and a pickled egg. I always go for the coleslaw (to get something "vegetable" into the mix) and I can ever say no to a pickled egg. Other very important components for a great fish & chips experience include; salt and copious amounts of malt vinegar on the chips (and maybe some ketchup on the side), a squeeze of lemon over the fish, and plenty of housemade tartar sauce for dipping. Once everything is dressed up to perfection it's time to dig in! Starting with the HUGE pieces of fish, the quality and expertise is evident. Fried in an imported deep-fat fryer, the batter is the most ideal example of golden and crispy, however it isn't too much. Inside you'll find gorgeously moist white fish. The cod is super meaty and it feels like you get a whole lot of fish within each piece. The haddock is very juicy and flavourful, providing a bit of a different fish journey. Both are wonderful in their own way, so having one of each is a great combination. One thing that I've noticed is that in England they leave the skin on the fish and we don't do this in Canada. I'm assuming that this comes down to a presumed regional preference. But let's just talk about the tartar sauce at Brits for one moment because I'm fairly certain that it's the absolute best in the city. First of all, they give you a massive squeeze bottle of the stuff on your table - it's unlimited a read more

Starting off with an order of deep fried oysters, they came out piping hot and perfectly fried to a beautiful golden colour. The batter was nicely seasoned with a nice crunch. The fish was amazing here from start to finish. Again much like the oysters they came out fried perfectly with a great consistency and flavour. they also give you a nice wide selection of fishes to choose from. Even though they were all fried dishes, it didn't feel overly greasy. The side coleslaw was nice and crunchy for a good contrast in texture and seasoned and dressed well. The gravy was a little thinner but with good flavour. So depending on your personal preferences you may like this or not. The sweet curry sauce almost tasted like some Japanese curries and was an interesting alternative to the house tartar sauce which was good as well. I haven't had mushy peas in recent memory so I don't have much to compare with but they were a nice side to try. On a side note, the draught beer was a little warmer than usual so I assume this was done "British style" so if you're expecting an ice cold beer this might not be your cup of tea. But with that said the beer selection on tap was a nice selection and tasted fine a touch warmer. If you're looking for an ice cold beer they do have some canned beer as well. Definitely one of my favourite places to go to for fish & chips! read more

Wonder chill jazz music and smooth tempo music going on well sitting down to the biggest pieces of fish I can get in town. Not only are they the biggest pieces of fish in town but I find it to be the best tasting. There is a solid crisp that comes out costing the fish. It's just stunning. Probably takes the lemon juice about a solid 10min to soften the batter coating it's done so well. The fries are one of my favorite. They are so gawd damn crisp! They don't have an amazing amount of flavoring to them. Just a basic fry but I love it! You can cover them in ketchup resulting in the classic matchup done right. Done even need to add salt (personal option ‍) Hungry for lunch? Wanna show off to your homies with "I can eat so much order the 3 piece and try to finish it by yourself!! The prices seem to be unfair tell you get a basket packed full of fish and fries. Worth a stop! A medicated stop and I still struggled to get everything eaten. A good medicated stop as wel read more

The hubby and I finally decided on a dinner item, fish and chips. So, it was time to search the wonderful world of yelp for advice. This place seems to have a lot of good reviews, so here we were one Friday evening craving greasy comfort foods. It's a place where they take your order at the counter, and someone brings the food to you. You also grab your own drinks. Nothing too fancy. We ordered clam chowder, deep fried oysters, and sole and halibut fish and chips. The clam chowder tasted like they put too much parsley or thyme in it. It was very herby, which I didn't care for. The oysters were kind of bland, but the batter was light and crispy, which made me excited for the fish. The sole was very thin, and it felt like you were just eating the oily batter. But the halibut... wow... that was meaty and tasty! I had a side of coleslaw that tasted fresh and had just the right amount of mayo. It was 1pc and fries, one side, and a drink for $20. Seems reasonable. I really enjoyed that meal, but the others... not so much. Maybe I will come back again... just for the halibut read more

You know that way when you get a craving for some greasy comfort food from back home in the UK? Well, I guess a lot of you here in Edmonton won't get that feeling, but I did. So I headed to Brits Fish and chips near my home to indulge myself. There are a few Brits locations in the city but I have to say this one is now my favourite, entirely due to this one thing. Pizza Crunch. Now, some of you may be wondering what a pizza crunch is, well in short it's amazing. Take a really cheap cheese pizza, batter it, then deep fry. Definitely not good for the arteries so I'd caution against eating one every day, but boy did it hit the spot. I was instantly taken back to my high school years in Scotland. Memories! As for the fish, I'm a fan of the cod, it always seems to be nicely cooked here. Chips (as always in Canada) aren't quite how I like them, always a little to thin cut and not that fluffy potato style that I like. But as that's a problem for all chip shops here I'll give Brits a pass. I enjoy the fact you can get pickled onions and mushy peas on the side, really adds to the experience. I'll for sure be back to tickle my pizza crunch itch on another day... read more

Brits Fish & Chips - Menu - they do deep fried pizza! - British Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

Visited here recently for the very first time and while I wish it were more transit accessible, I really enjoyed my halibut portion and mushy peas! I wasn't overly fond of the chips, but that's not all that surprising to me given my experiences with fish and chips in the past. On the whole it was a good experience and I definitely noticed some of the unique touches like the building decor and the fact that they offer some good meal options. There's ample parking in this location and you can tell that the staff here really care about their jobs. This is definitely not a fancy restaurant (very casual) but that's generally what you're looking for in a fish and chips location. read more

We have eaten here several times. It's not a fancy place, but the staff is friendly and the portions are generous and priced reasonably. This was the first time we had ordered pickup. It was busy, and perhaps this is why service was slower than usual and there was a bit of confusion. But, everyone survicedt and we will eat here again. read more

Good fish and chips! While I don't go often this is often my go to place for authentic fish and chips. Only reason I didn't rate 5 stars is it's greasier then average on occasion / sometimes stronger oil taste in the fish. Though overall it's typically very good! Will definitely be back. read more

Craving a good old fish supper (fish and chips in Scots), we got takeout from Brits. This location seems to have a better selection of items including battered sausage, and haggis. To my delight my husband secretly ordered a pizza crunch for us to share. Be prepared to be horrified, Canada. Deep fried pizza is one of those things that's only good using the cheapest ingredients. Get a crappy plain pizza, batter and deep fry. Salt and loads of vinegar obvz. It really is a taste of Scotland, I'm sorry to say but it took me back and I enjoyed every bite. We also tried the fish which was flakey and batter was light. Mushy peas were the only green on the plate and served with chips. These chips were the most chip like I've found in Canada, everywhere else it's fries. I'm impressed with this Brits. Looking forward to trying a haggis supper next. read more

Really good fish and chips. Best this side of St Johns. Kind of expensive, though. $42.45 for 2 fish and chips and 2 pops. read more

Brits Fish & Chips - Cool mural. - British Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

Visited Brits for the first time on recommendation from my family! Neat little place - no decor however. As you enter, you are asked to order your meal and then select a seat in the dining room. I ordered the two piece haddock meal that comes with bottomless pop (needed more syrup/over carbonated) and coffee / tea. It also comes with fries and a side. I tried the "mushy peas" however I believe the coleslaw may have been a better choice. The fish, batter and fries were great! I would definitely come back. read more

We ordered take out last night Halibut & Haddock & chips plus the onion bites. Oh my god so good. Everything was fresh. Chips were AMAZING!! Love it when the oil is fresh and everything is still a bit oily (it's fried, it's going to be a bit oily no matter what) but it's not gross or heavy. It was as good as eating it in person. Nom nom nom!!! read more

Came here for a quick supper after work. They have a large selection of fish and some traditional UK sides. I had a 2pc fish and chips with a side of mushy peas. It was a bit expensive, but was a lot of food, but it was good, but not great. They have beer on tap. The bad is the the place is a bit run down and dirty. The carpet was badly stained. This could be a good place if they made some improvements. read more

Honestly delicious, always order this place if i need my fix of home! Ever since me and my family moved to Canada, Brits fish and chips gave us that reminder that home isn't too far away. Would recommend read more

The family was driving around Edmonton after an event and trying to decide where to go for some supper. I suggested we commit to going to the next random strip mall restaurant we saw. That is the story of how I met your Brits Fish & Chips I thought my husband was going to die of happiness when he realized they had gluten free fish and chips. I swear he would have ordered a second time if I hadn't been there to stop him. The orders were huge and we walked away stuffed and happy. Don't expect fancy ambience or healthy food but rather bask in the greasy gloriousness of it all! read more

To be honest, this place kind of grosses me out. Clog my arteries? Well why not? Yuck. My dad loves this place (which seems weird to me, because he is a health nut) and he insisted on going here for his birthday. What were we supposed to say? It was his birthday!! We convinced him to do takeout because the atmosphere at this place is just downright depressing. You order at a counter and you pick your own drinks from a cooler and then they bring the food to your table. Not really fast food, not really sit down restaurant either. The guy working the front counter at this location looks about 14 and he seems to hate his life as well as his job. So clearly - we did take out. And it still grossed me out. It seems that the main rule of this place is grease grease and more grease. The fries are greasy, the fish is greasy, even the coleslaw seems greasy. I avoid this place at all costs -- unless it is my dad's birthday. In which case, I will eat before we go out. read more

Went in for lunch and got the Cod to go. It was wrapped in paper like I've seen in movies and tv shows. The cod was a large piece and I was pleased with it, but the fries weren't anything special. read more

Brits Fish & Chips - British Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

Probably the best fish and chips this side of the Pacific. Fish batter is crispy and the fish is perfectly cooked, very tasty without being greasy. Fries are home cut and are equally as good. We have tried the halibut, cod, sole, shrimp, clams and oysters. All are exceptional. The deep fried mushrooms are a "must have" if you are a mushroom lover. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Guilty pleasure to end all guilty pleasures. We had gone here a few years back but for some reason this great traditional fish and chip shop had slipped our minds. Returning this evening we were reminded about how good real fish and chips can be. The haddock and cod were light, the batter crisp and the fries were perfect without being greasy. It all arrives at the table steaming hot ready for the malt vinegar and tartar sauce (which my husband bets is homemade). The next time the urge for a good fish and chip feast hits, this is where we are headed! read more

We enjoyed our dinner here. Had the chowder as an appetizer. I don't suggest you have it before eating the family meal; you won't finish the mains. However the meal as a whole was great. Just like I remember as a kid. The only difference is the takeaway wasn't wrapped in newspaper. We will come again. read more

We visited Brits Fish and Chips On June 20, 2020. Food is good as usual but in this time of Covid 19, there were no precautions taken except for table distancing. There was no hand sanitizer for customers, the tables were wiped by the waitress without sanitizer being sprayed, staff was not wearing face masks. read more

We visited this restaurant this evening to celebrate a friends birthday. I had called ahead to ask if we could bring Birthday cupcakes and they obliged and even put them in the fridge for us until we were ready for them! The fish and chips were delicious-large portions and fast friendly service. Two of us are celiac and must comment the GF fish and chips are the best in the city! We had a wonderful time and will be back again! Thank you!!! read more

Best fish and chips in the city, big portions and great chips. Come early cause it can get very busy at times. Staff is very helpful.

went here for lunch today.. probably my last time. the fish was tasty.. but SUPER greasy!!! the fries were mushy and tastless. i seen the cook take leftover batter from the fish and sprinkle it on top of the fries..what's with that? Took about 30mins to get our food to go. people who ordered after us got their food first. nice. a little expensive..average $15.00 a plate with nasty fries i couldn't eat.:( now my stomache is turning in knots.. never again. read more

Everyone needs to know how awesome this place is. I was first introduced to this place in the summer of 2007 when I started my job in the area. I ate there once and haven't gone back till this summer. It wasn't that I disliked it the first time, I just got lazy (as the first time I ate at the restaurant when I only had a 30 min lunch break). I love fish & chips - I always went to Joey's Fish&Chips restaurant all the time as a kid, but I'm a ketchup lover, and always smothered my fish in ketchup so I didn't realize what was good and not. I don't know what Fish & Chips in England, Scotland or anywhere on the coast of the Atlantic tastes like but I'll tell you right now, I can taste how flavourful and fresh it is at Brit's (even without my ketchup!). I haven't had anything else on the menu, but the fish & chips are definitely not a light meal. The quantity is there with the quality. The price is a bit steep, however, I understand the price of fish and also when I order a 2 pc Haddock fish & chips, it's enough to make me full twice. I always pick it up for lunch, and half of it is for dinner which makes me full later. It's my guilty pleasure, a pretty greasy meal but I think it's the same as having a greasy meal at any burger joint. Since the summer, I have eaten here a handful of times, and lately now maybe once or twice a month. As for having comfort food, and as much as I love my ribs and potatoes, I might choose some battered flavorful fish and (the BEST) chips from here instead. A friend of mine that had resided in England for a bit loves this place too, and has said, the fish is less greasy compared to what she had but the chips are better in England. Personally, I don't know how they could be any better! Batter on the fish is light but not too thin, fish perfectly cooked and high quality (I've had halibut, turbot, cod and with haddock being my personal favourite), and the large fleshy tasty chips only fried, not under or overcooked - just perfect with no salt. If you can't handle greasy foods, then no, don't come here. But if you don't mind the grease once in awhile, yes come try this place out. They're super kind, food gets out quick, and you get what you pay for even if the price is "expensive", you get a lot of flavour and a lot of food. I specifically love this location - I just tried out their downtown location last night, and even though I got my craving calmed, it was much more greasy and overcooked downtown. But regular customer to the dt one have said it is a bit inconsistent there. I get my fish & chips at the southside location the same all the time - crispy and yummy! I'd give it 4 stars, but I haven't eaten anything else off of their menu and their decor is a little lackluster. It's not the best but it's not horrible. It's clean! Maybe I'm just being too picky. I also get take-out 9 times out of 10. Still, give 'em a shot, if you don't mind the grease (what else do you expect from fish&chips???) read more

After a bad last experience, I returned to fresh home cut fries and generous portions of crispy fish! Updating my review to say thank you, Brits! We will be loyal customers once more! read more

Fish and Chips seems like a standard meal that sould taste the same no matter where you go.... But that's not the case! I've learned that the hard way. I wouldn't say drive to the other side of town to eat here. But if you're a south sider, this place is the sport for fish and chips! Great atmosphere and service; always a safe bet. read more

We went here on a mid-afternoon on a whim. There are not too many restaurants around this area except for ole' reliable, Boston Pizza, but we felt like trying Brit's as we have passed by many times and always wondered what it was like. It was a neat restaurant with a walk up counter where you order. People have complained about grease in some reviews but it was not that bad to us. It was a tidy place, and seemed clean. I would love to give a higher score, but wow, the prices are just nuts. It was almost a shock and we were contemplating leaving because of it. It has been awhile since we ate here so I don't remember the exact prices of what we ordered (we both ordered the same thing) but I believe one piece of fish with fries and coleslaw was north of $16. Our total with drinks and deep fried pickes was around the $40 mark. Way to expensive for lunch in a restaurant like this. But now we get to the food itself. It was delicious. I have never had fish with a batter so good on it. You could probably eat the batter on it's own as a meal, it is that fresh and crispy. The fries were homecut and good, the fish itself was very nice. The side of coleslaw was homemade, typical coleslaw. We also ordered deep fried pickles and I have only had them a few times elsewhere but again, these were the best. We got two dips with them, and the batter on them was unreal. So much better than the greasy mess that Soda Jerks offers. The service was excellent, friendly, and food came fast. "E" has been to Britain and had fish and chips at the chippies there and said this version was as good as anything she got there, and less greasy. The only reason I gave it 3 stars was because of the pricing. It would be a nice place to go once or twice a month to get your fish and chips fix, however the prices are so high that it would only be a once or twice a year trip for us. We eat at Joey's Seafood quite a bit and Brit's is so much better as far as quality goes. Not even fair to compare, however the prices at Joey's are more reasonable. On a sidenote, the pieces of cod we got with the meal were pretty big. But still, the pricing prevents us from becoming regulars which is a shame. It was great food. read more

Good fish, really good fish but the chips were soggy and horrible. The fish portions are really big though.

Went to Brit's for lunch. After growing up going to British pubs I was VERY disappointed. The service was terrible, the food was fast but the women who work there are not friendly. They ask you to pay at the counter including tip but you get your own drinks etc. when there was a small mistake on our bill they said it was because we had changed our order so many times (once). The food itself was below average for what you would expect for the price ($50 for one adult and three kids). Very greasy and the fries were not good. I do not recommend Brit's Fish and Chips. read more

Being a Brit I was so excited when Brits fish and chips opened back many years ago. It tasted fabulous and so reminded me of going to the chippy back home. I used to frequent their establishment every other week as I didn't live too far away from them. After moving away I only got to have my fave meal every couple of years. My last visit last week will probably be my last. I'm not sure if it's changed ownership or if they just had a change in business plan. The food is now just 'blah'. I ordered cod and chips for my wife and I and it came to $27 for a take away meal. I don't mind paying that or even waiting the 45 mins, if it's going to be worth it all. Alas the chips have changed, and we got less fish. It just isn't value for money anymore. I used to recommend it to all my friends/colleagues, but sorry now I can't. Perhaps one day I'll re-visit the place but I think I'll leave it a few years to see if they start getting better reviews again. read more

Never had a bad meal here and my Gluten Free girl has NEVER been made sick with cross contamination either. Great Job!

We've been coming here for years, but on today's visit something has changed. The food was always a little pricey, but justified by the quality. Today the quality want there. The fish portions were smaller than I remember (maybe the haddock is smaller than the cod I usually get). The most devastating change was the apparent abandonment of the hand cut French fries. These were always an attraction for the chip aficionado, but the bland frozen fries have ruined the experience for us. read more
