The area around the market has been influx recently with a lot of closures in the last couple of years but a few new spots popping up. It was walking by and noticed a familiar name, Lapointe. I have no idea if they're associated but I know it as a local seafood shop and restaurant. It's nice to see a local place open up here.
I popped my head in and it's a little counter service spot that looks to specialize in fish and chips, with burgers and poutines as well. There is very limited seating, probably enough for about 8 people around the edges of the store.
I had a scan of the menu and ordered the fish and chips. I mean it only makes sense to start here. I grabbed a seat and within 10 minutes my order was ready.
I noticed the fish and chips batter looked different than most of the fish and chips I normally have. Not saying it's a good or bad thing just different. I tried the fries, pretty standard fare. It also came with a small coleslaw which was alright as well. I tried the fish next and it was alright. I think the batter was a bit harder and crunchier than I personally like but some of you will definitely love it. The order was about $16 and I'm unsure if that is standard price in town or in the market. Just letting you know the price. If I ever want fish and chips, I have a place pretty close to grab an order in the future.
Give it a shot and let me know what you think! read more
