Burnaby BC
My first trip to the Burnaby location.
We have been to the New West shop many times and it’s always good.
As with the New West store, the Burnaby location has a Pantry restaurant feel. Pretty plain, not somewhere you’d want to spend a lot of time. But not awful.
Along with my favorite, the haddock, I decided to also try the special feature, the snapper.
I’ve never had the snapper before as fish and chips. I use it regularly for ceviché at home but it’s not common to see it in a chippy.
The snapper is the one in the background. You can’t get an idea of the scale of that piece but it was massive. The waitress even commented on its size.
The haddock was excellent as usual. I prefer halibut, but I find the extra cost to be not worth it.
The snapper was nice. It was well cooked and not greasy, in so far as deep-fried fish isn’t greasy. Having said that I’m not sure I would get it again. My preference, first to worst, is haddock, salmon, halibut, snapper, cod and then pollock.
Had a Kilkenny with my meal.
A great Irish beer. Dark but not bitter or heavy. Great head and caramel taste.
I don’t think you can go wrong with either location of Cockney Kings fish and chips.
