Portions are quite generous and it's Canadian ice cream (you can't beat that!) Right now it's cash only...I actually think it's always cash only but I might be wrong. I'm trying to remember if the one lady working was wearing a mask. She was behind plexiglass and sanitized her hands but I cannot remember if she was wearing a mask or not.

I watched her take money from the customer before us and went and grabbed another cone and started scooping ( no hand washing in between). We left with no ice cream and its very doubtful we will be back

It's the perfect little hut, situated just outside of Bala town, with its own dock and excellent views of Bala Bay. Unfortunately, none of these ice cream places ever seemed to be open in the middle of the summer at the height of cottage season. Until The Scoop. Purchased last year by a local college student and her brother, the hut received an adorable Canadian facelift -- red, white and brown paint -- revamped signage and a new life. The siblings take turns working each evening, greeting customers and proudly scooping delicious, Ontario-based Kawartha brand ice cream. A tiny Swedish berry in lieu of a cherry on your scoop is their quaint signature. We're *so* glad they've set up shop in Bala and wish them the best of luck for continuing success; cuz nothing beats grilling your dinner al fresco followed by a boat ride to town for frozen dessert.

The owner explained that the cod tongues were like the neck of the cod and had a chewier texture (like calamari) while the cod cheeks were tender and more like scallop texture. Food: Cod tongue with onion rings - you get a dozen or some pieces of deep fried cod tongue - they were pretty good though I'm not sure I'm a connoisseur enough to appreciate it. Still great though! 4/5. Cod cheeks were also quite good with a similar number of pieces. Again, I probably couldn't appreciate well enough the difference between the two so they seemed similar but still tasty. The custom lemon, dill sauce was great to dip in! 4/5. Pickerel - this is a massive piece of fish and chip. The batter is delicious and the fish was moist and flaky. Totally with every dollar! Beside the fish and chips is a ice cream stand that sells kawartha dairy in massive scoops. Be aware that small is two huge scoops, baby is 1.5 huge scoops! Price: Pretty reasonable for fish and chips, and great value for ice cream! Definitely recommend if your a big fish and chips fan!
