My family and I took a long weekend trip to Lake Huron recently. Since I have no clue how to fish,…read moreI decided to see if there were any local restaurants serving local fish. Out of the Blue was the perfect place to go! They even have a family deal with a variety of fried fish and a ton of fries. Service was friendly and efficient. Our meal wasn't quite ready when I arrived for pickup, so they offered to bring it out to my car (probably to avoid congestion in the storefront with COVID restrictions, but still a nice touch). The food was fresh and delicious. We would not hesitate to return if we are in the area again!

Made a reservation a few months ahead for a planned weekend with friends for a Friday night. When…read morewe arrived they had no record of a reservation in my name. Hostess kept saying I count have possibly made a res that far in advance. Kept insisting I called the wrong place. After lengthy discussion where she insisted I was in the wrong and she was correct, she told us that there were 2 tables available and she could seat us........why not lead with that?? Suggestion: "oh, I don't see a reservation in that name. Perhaps there was some sort of miscommunication. Luckily there are 2 different table options. Give me a couple minutes to get one cleaned and set and we'll get you seated asap". Next, the bartender came to deliver our wine and said "which of you ladies messed up and called the wrong restaurant?" ???? Again much better communication would have included "oh, Im so glad we could get you seated tonight" What an interesting way to greet customers..... Anyway, the food was good and our server was very pleasant so Im giving them a 3.

I've travelled quite a bit to Sarnia on business. I've heard from local colleagues that I should try Halibut House Fish and Chips. What drew me was the fact that they served haddock as one of the fish, and I have had fond memories of haddock fish fry. My colleague and I went there the other night and we really enjoyed our dinners. Both of us tried the haddock (and I also tried the cod which was also excellent). I loved the accompanying cole slaw which was not mayonnaise based, but vinegar based. The fish was a very large portion. It was not greasy (because they fried it at a high temperature), and it was flavorful. Lots of other places don't pay much attention to frequent change out of their fryer oils which take on a bitter taste and will be imparted to the food. That's because the structure of oil has changed from their use. This was not an issue at Halibut House. I didn't notice any after-taste. My compliments to the crew for paying attention to these details. The batter was very light and it complemented the fish, which was very fresh. As the frequency of my travel there is increasing, they can count on my future visits.

While at the VW van event in the area, formerly knows as Bayfield Volkfest, and now in Goderich,…read moreand enjoying the summer like weather at the end of September in 2025, we ventured out for a restaurant meal and found this gem at the local gold course called The Maitland. I was craving a schnitzel and they delivered. Friendly service from the staff there as they were just opening at noon that Friday and we were asked kindly to wait a bit before they opened. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal while seated at the corner table with windows looking out two different directions over the golf course. That itself, was a fantastic feature of dining her. Parking was plentiful, and the drive was fun going under the little arched train bridge. Worth seeking out in the area.

Is the atmosphere modern and high end....no... were we comfortable and had a great view... absolutely... A very cool menu cover opens up to a diverse selection of options to satisfy the whole family with some Eastern/central European favourites that caught my attention....My wife and son went with the seared salmon where I opted for the classic schnitzel....We were all completely satisfied with our meals from the salmon which was buttery, cooked to perfection (that a lot of places screw up) to my extra crispy full of flavour schnitzel on a bed of crispy yet soft spätzle...washed down with a cold Czech Pilsner and a classic gin martini... I was in a very happy place!! But that didn't stop my son from ordering the decadent River fritter... or I think we accidentally called it the River tail... no idea why... but it was delicious!! Looking forward to exploring the menu further on our next visit to Godrich!! Thank you!! Zeke

One main secret to the best fish and chips is that they be FRESH. The haddock tasted absolutely…read morefresh. The cooking oil--which in other places seems to have been around for a while--was also FRESH. That makes a difference. SO tasty. Most of their business seems to be carry out. No problem. It was pleasant to eat our fish and chips at the tables in the central plaza of Stratford--where we could watch the life of the town go by. Someone else mentioned that the portions are LARGE, and while it sounds impossible, one piece really is plenty. I ordered two pieces, and didn't even order chips (just sponged off the kids' portions--they didn't miss 'em). I still had a piece left over for lunch. But if we'd been smarter, we'd have ordered less the first time, and stopped by again for another fresh, hot, and tasty serving.

They have done a nice job sprucing things up a bit and revamping the kitchen. Hope to see the red carpet in the dining room go at some point. A bit under staffed as they get on their feet a lot of work for one person at front of house to manage, quite a long wait for walk ins due to covid restrictions on the dining room. Definitely call ahead for a reservation. Staff was friendly and polite took our order correctly. Our meals where pretty good! We got two orders of the Fisherman's platter. One with fries and one with a Ceasar salad. Breading on the fish was light the halibut was a nice large piece! Cooked perfectly nice and flakey not greasy at all. The scallops and shrimp where cooked well too. Chips where fresh and light. The Ceasar salad was not worth the 3.50$ dollars for the upgrade. They just tossed two strips of bacon with it. No croutons, red onion or even parmasean. Was also dissapointed that they didn't do a home made tartar sauce and also no lemon provided with the fish. At first I was excited to see the paper in the take out bag! Then realized they wrapped the take out box in paper. Hopefully they will cut back on the waste and just wrap the fish in that beautiful paper moving forward. Would really love to see this place stick to fish and chips and sea food options and perfect their sides. Would love to see more fish and seafood meals and stay away from the burgers etc and really specialize on the seafood. There's plenty of wing and burger family restaurants and I think they could really make a go of it if they keep it simple, fresh and refined! Found it a bit pricey but overall enjoyed out meals great piece of fish! This cost us 70$ with tax.

They did not offer a knife and fork(like every other fish and chip place does). The order taker knew very little. The food was OK.

I visited the Goderich Harbour Restaurant (or Old Saltie as the sign out front says) a few days…read morebefore Canada Day this summer. I didn't find its Yelp page at the time, but it was good enough that I wrote about it on my Strava entry for the day, so I'll quote a section of that here: -- I circled back to the harbor, where there was a fish-and-ships shop with seven Canadian flags (and one Ukrainian), which I took as a sure sign that it must be good, especially since it had obviously been there a while, was out of the way, and had a decent amount of customers at 3 PM. Indeed, it was worth it. Haddock fried after you order it, with a choice of scores of seasonings and sauces to add to it, served takeaway style with greaseproof paper. I went with Worcestershire and lemon pepper, and it may have been the best fish and chips I've had. -- So, yup, if I was reminded of it randomly nearly six months later and wrote about it on Strava, it's pretty good. Check it out if you're in the area!
