Haddock bites were excellent
Heather S.

We were recommended this place by friends and it was very good. The food is excellent for the most part. The fish was some of the best we had on our east coast trip. The poutine was fresh and plentiful. The portions are a very good size so go hungry or be prepared to share. The burgers were great and the salmon burger was a particular standout with our group. It's very busy and parking can be tricky but you can always park along the side of the road like most locals were doing. The lobster roll was our only disappointment. It was just a bit thin on meat and paled in comparison to the one we had in alma for the price (hence the four not five stars). Next time we go back we will also try the clams and sc

Convenient location on the road to St Andrews. About a 5 minute drive away. This is a drive up fish & chip takeout place. It has fish, clams, burgers, homemade fries, milk shakes, and hard ice cream. Even on a Monday afternoon in early June, they were steady, but we didn't have to wait long. They take your order, give you a number, then call out your number with a microphone. I had a one piece fish & chips. The fish was large and there were lots of fries, a lemon wedge, cole slaw, and tartar sauce. The fish batter was crispy & golden, the fish hot & moist. It was a little greasier than I like, but not enough to keep me from eating all of it. The fries were great. My husband & I also split an onion rings. We didn't like these so much. We like onion rings with fish batter, whereas these had something more akin to fried chicken coating. We didn't put much of a dent in those. There's a good amount of parking space, a grassy area with sturdy picnic tables, and a playground.

Sitting at one of the many clean picnic tables.

See all

Had heard it was as a great place to eat. The fried onions were awesome but the lobster roll was terrible. The worst I have ever had.

Carla's Take Out & Seafood Market - Cheeseburger

Carla's Take Out & Seafood Market

You can't go to Digby and not get a feed of scallops, and what better place than an actual seafood…read moremarket? When my wife and I showed up on a Saturday afternoon, I was in luck because the scallops and fish combo was one of the daily specials, clocking in at just $21! My other half, not being a big seafood person, opted for a cheeseburger. Having arrived well after the main lunch crowd, we had our food in quick order and ate indoors, taking a break in their AC. My plate of brown, deep-fried goodness wasn't exactly a poster child for the Canada Food Guide, but it sure was good! The scallops had a light dusting of breading before hitting the fryer, and they were a perfect doneness - not too soft, and not at all rubbery. Being minimally adorned as they were, the sweetness of the scallops took its rightful spot at centre stage. The fish portion of the plate was comprised of three small filets of haddock, with a light breading on the exterior. I do prefer a crisp, airy beer batter, but the quality of the fish stole the show, as it flaked easily in solid chunks, but wasn't mushy or shredding to tiny bits. It was one of those times where the fish was so good that I only used the tartar sauce for my fries. Said fries were the standard, from-frozen fries that I think of as "diner fries", but they were good and crisp on the outside, with fluffy interiors, so they were about as good as they can be. On the upside, the fries acted as a delivery mechanism for one of the best tartar sauces I've ever had! Heavy on the minced pickle chunks, the tartar sauce had a sweetness to it that reminded me of mustard pickles (in the best possible way). When a place does a simple thing like this so well, it really make all the others that just do packets of Kraft look even worse. Although far from being the star of the show, my wife's cheeseburger was a solid, diner-style burger. Carla's was just what I was looking for while in Digby - down home style seafood that's well-executed without pretension.

The service was good. The ambience was good. The restaurant was pretty full but had a few tables…read moreavailable. I tried the apricots chicken rapure- she said it was a French dish, basically mashed potatoes around a few chucks of chicken and then deep fried. I wasn't impressed. My husband got the wings. They were delicious. Some friends got the seafood platter. It also was delicious. The onion rings were delicious.
