My sister and I had fish and chips at a new restaurant. Very good fish indeed. Indoors, there was a large aquarium with huge varieties of fish in it. We had haddock, although they had cod and many other varieties including clam strips, raw clams, oysters and other seafood. Fish and chips with a nice, generous portion of chips, served with malt vinegar, came to abouu $5! Not bad at all! The only negative aspect was there was no washroom if one needed it. Maybe that will be forthcoming. The restaurant is virtually take-out, but one can eat inside if one insists. There are tables, but they are basically for one to wait for the order.

This is a unique shop! It is a cupcake bakery where any type of cupcake can be found. You can have them custom made as well.
