Located in an empty lot across Armoyan Drive from the bowling alley, they've got their main trailer for their hot food and another for ice cream. Despite the sweltering temperatures, I was here for lunch. Fish and chips gets tops billing on their menu, just below their fries, so I went with the one piece ($11.75 + tax). There weren't many people ahead of me, and I was able to snag a spot in a sliver of shade on one of their picnic tables that had an umbrella. The portion was quite good, with a sizeable filet on top of hand-cut fries. The fish was either lightly breaded or a very thin batter, and while I normally prefer a thick and crispy batter, this was some undeniably great fried fish. The coating was lightly crispy, and the quality of the fish stood out with firm, tender chunks that flaked away easily without a hint of mushiness. The fries were quite thick, about half an inch, and while they had a good colour to them, the crispness wasn't where I wanted it to be. A double frying is basically mandatory to get a good thick-cut fry, and I'm not sure that happened here. With the fish being so good, I saved most of the tartar sauce to aid the fries' cause. It's great to see a classic chip wagon set up shop in Sackville, and even better when their fish is as good as it is. If they can step up the other half of their fish and chips game, I'm sure they'll be a local favourite for many summers to come.

As I work my way through my list of Dartmouth restaurants to eat at since moving to this side of…read morethe harbour, it was inevitable that I would eat at Pleasant Street Diner. To my never-ending shame, I never made it to PSD's famed spiritual and familial predecessor, John's Lunch, so this was as close as I was going to get. The room is ringed by booths on the windowed exterior walls, tables fill the middle, and an old-school counter is at the back - complete with cushioned, rotating stools. PSD opens surprisingly late for a diner at 11am, and isn't open on Sundays, but it was unsurprisingly bustling when my friends and I showed up for lunch on a Saturday. Given their operating hours, their breakfast options are limited to omelettes and some breakfast sandwiches, so I opted for a different diner classic instead - their club sandwich. I figured I'd be back for dinner another time to have their fish, so a club seemed like the perfect lunch meal. Despite the crowd, our food came out impressively quick and my plate was piled high with wedges of the triple-decker sandwich and fries. The bread was well-toasted and held up against its layers of thick slices of roasted turkey breast, crisp bacon, and mayo-slathered tomato and lettuce. It was a solid rendition of a diner classic! The fries were of the from-frozen variety, but were decently crispy and very, very plentiful. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention their coleslaw. Normally this is just a forgettable two ounce cup scooped out of a Sysco bucket, but PSD goes all-in with a heap of lightly tart, shredded cabbage that covered the better part of a side plate. It reminded me of some of the Quebec-based rotisserie chicken chains that are all (oddly) about their coleslaw. My next time there saw me coming back for dinner with my wife in tow. We arrived around 6:30 on a Saturday, and while the place was full, there was only one other group ahead of us and we got a table after a short wait. I knew I *had* to get some fish, but I decided to splurge and go all-in on the seafood platter. They're a well-oiled machine at PSD, because despite the crowd (and perpetual takeout orders), we had our food in very good time. The menu isn't very descriptive, but given the other seafood options, I was right in my suspicions that the seafood platter would have haddock, clams, shrimp and scallops. With my past experience, I knew there'd be a good pile of coleslaw as well, and because of that heap of seafood and coleslaw, the fries had to come on their own plate, so really, this should be called the seafood platters - plural! I went after the clams and scallops first, as I felt like they have the shortest shelf life. The random twists and swirls of clam meat were tender and lightly sweet, without a hint of rubberineaa, and a good and crisp batter. I never really get why scallops get a light breading since they're never crisp and it adds limited flavour, but they were also cooked to perfection. My shrimp were pleasantly firm, with an amount of breading somewhere in between the dusting on the scallops and the heavier layer on the clams. My piece of haddock was a decent size, but the batter was pushing the border of being too thick and almost tough, with a mushy fish-batter interface. I'm not sure if this is from twice-frozen fish or par cooking, but it was a less than stellar showing for a place as well-known for its fish as they are. Tartar sauce is left at the tables and it's Kraft packets for takeout, so presumably it is at the tables as well. Once again, the fries were wildly plentiful and perfectly adequate, and I ended up taking most of them and some of the seafood home with me. The seafood platter may be the most expensive dish on the menu, but it can also feed two people! Pleasant Street Diner is carrying the torch of a family of restauranteurs, and while there's room for tweaks to become truly legendary (house-made tartar and hand-cut fries, please!), they're still checking a lot of the right boxes and people are definitely voting with their dollars and appetites.

I got the fish & chips ($13.50 CAD) with a lobster poutine add-on (+$15 CAD), and damn, that was worth it! The poutine came with lots of lobster meat, topped with a creamy hollandaise cheese sauce that was surprisingly rich BUT refreshing at the same time. I absolutely devoured and cleaned the entire plate of poutine. It was amazing, and I HIGHLY recommend it!! The haddock fish was just okay - I wouldn't say it was the best I've ever had. I think I just generally prefer my pub-style beer/club soda batter. IMO, the best fish & chips in Halifax would still be at The Narrows Public House. The vibe, though, was just phenomenal. I enjoyed my meal while watching the sunset by the MacKay Bridge from the beer garden patio. I honestly don't think anything can get better than that. One of the staff members, Emilia, was also super friendly!
