I got some "Fish n' Chips" from the Newfoundland Chocolate Company from my sister-in-law :) She was in St. John's for work, and brought us back some treats. How sweet is that? :) They come in a little paper takeout box like real Fish and Chips would, but they are actually fish-shaped chocolates and kettle cooked potato chips drizzled with chocolate. I feel like chocolate covered chips is an East Coast thing. The first time I saw chocolate covered potato chips was in Prince Edward Island and they called them Cow Chips, lol.
Anyway, they are salty and sweet and a bit addictive. The chocolate is smooth and creamy. The chocolate fish is big, so was broken in half in order to fit the box. I think it would have been more aesthetically pleasing if the company made smaller fish, so you'd have whole fish. Nonetheless, it was a tasty treat.
The packaging, while fun and kitschy, was not too functional, because since it's not air-tight, the chips weren't as crispy.
It looks like the Newfoundland Chocolate Company is popular in Newfoundland, with several locations. I'll need to check them out if I find myself there in the future :) read more
