The fish was oily. One time was good enough for me and I didn't return for second time. Can't understand why the place was packed.

The fried stuff is greasy, there's no denying it. But that's all right if you have a hankering for it. We had top quality friendly service from all three employees we encountered during our meal (Kanata Centrum location).

Used to go here monthly about 5 years ago for the all-you-can-eat (AYCE) tuesday. The real Bluenosers with me would always trade-up for the non-AYCE haddock (but still AYCE fries) in place of the pollock that you get unlimited. The pollock was fine by me, and always very yummy. I'd always put back 4 or 5 pieces plus a few fries. Seemed like they had a fair bit of corn in their batter by the colour. Have not been in about 5 years though.

Very good fries as well.

Yes, all deep-fried food is greasy even when it doesn't seem to be. That's why I only went there monthly and not weekly ... moderation :-)

Was here just this week. $6.99 lunch special, coleslaw, seasoned fries, 2 pieces of pollock. You can switch up the fish for a couple of bucks more but by now we’ve tested several and find with deep fried it’s all about the oil & batter. No complaints here, pop refills free, coleslaw ok, they keep the oil hot and everything was crisp. The fries are frozen and seasoned but fine. We asked for extra lemon wedges and they brought us a little bowlful. Tartar sauce comes in a very handy squeeze bottle. Booths afford a little privacy. For the price and the place quite acceptable.

I was very dissapointed with the fish and chip's at joey's. I'm from England, so I'm always on the lookout for fish and chips that are as good as they are at home. The fries were freezer fries, very generic. The fish was just ok.

The fish is oily but tasty. The default is pollock but you can upgrade to haddock for a price. Extra points for frying in non-hydrogenated oil! All you can eat fish and chips on Tuesdays. Eep!
