Wow, the best fish and chips I've had in a long time! The batter was so crispy, and the fish so…read moretender, moist and flakey! And it wasn't super greasy. I loved it.
So my husband and I were going to be in Bells Corners running some errands, so I suggested we grab some lunch at Ad Mare. Ad Mare is a food truck that I heard great things about. Once upon a time it was parked in Downtown Ottawa, but since the Covid-19 Pandemic started, it's now parked at the Kichesippi Brewery. There are picnic tables outside, and I believe you can bring their food into the brewery to eat inside if you are drinking at the brewery. We opted to eat in our car (which, for the record, I did long before the Pandemic. Come to think of it, eating in my car, washing my hands ALL THE TIME, not liking it when strangers get too close to me, I was like that before the Pandemic. I never wore a mask though, but truth be told, I see a lot of advantages to mask-wearing, apart from the prevention of respiratory infections, like it shields more of my face from UV radiation #youthfulskinforever, and makes me less recognizable #lovebeingincognito, lol. I am totally digressing here, apologies).
Ok, back to the food. I love that it was in a cardboard container (I hate styrofoam) lined with waxed paper. The fries were good chip wagon fries. The coleslaw was oil and vinegar based, which I much prefer over the mayonnaise based ones. It had a significant amount of pepper in it, which I liked, but it made it spicer than I anticipated. We got the 2 piece platter ($13.50) to share and it was more than enough food. The pieces of fish were a good size and like I said at the start of the review, they were delicious. We got tartar sauce and ketchup (not enough ketchup for my liking, but I'm a ketchup fiend with my fries, haha).
I waited in the car while my husband bought the food, so can't comment on customer service, but the wait wasn't too long.
There's free parking in the brewery parking lot, but not too much of it. We had no problems finding a spot on our rainy autumn visit, but I can imagine on a nice summer day, there may be parking struggles.
