Union Jack Fish & Chips LTD Carlton Street — Restaurant in St. Catharines

So last night we'll it was more so around 7pm my husband and myself found our tummies ah Rumbling, we hadn't ate dinner. We were mobile and saw a well known Pizza shop so , that's what we decided it would be. Parked the car, and as we approached the plaza, I smelled this mouth-watering scent of fresh cut fries and succulent chicken of the sea! Union Jack Fish & Chips indefinitely beat out pizza. OK, I'll get to the point of this post, which is my opinion of the whole experience. The woman took our order and answered all the questions. We decided to take it out , but there is a long table seats, roughly 6-8 people. We ordered the Halibut platter. They also serve Cod and Haddock . The Halibut Plater includes 2 lrg pieces of halibut 3 scallops and 3 medium-sized shrimp on a bed of fresh cut fries as well a side of coleslaw and of course a lemon wedge. The order maybe took 15 minutes. The fish was absolutely delicious, cooked just right because for a seafood lover, there's nothing worse than dry overdone fish .It was nice and juicy inside, not too much batter and the taste auuhhhh Superb! The scallops are a bit small, but the sweet flavor made up for that. The shrimp was sweet and flavouful, and I found my hubby and I splitting the last one. Now the fries, I hate to say this but not that great. They were really dark color . Most were smaller than my pinky finger, and flavor tasted like burnt oil. Now we went there pretty close to closing time. When I think of how tasty everything else was, I can't imagine the fries being like that on a regular basis. With that said, I will definitely give them another try along with other seafood dishes they offer. The takeout comes packed with forks +napkins. The tartar sauces and other condiments are on the counter as a self serve , I like that because no matter whether I ask for Xtra tartar I never seem to get the amount I like. One thing I thought the platter was missing was seafood sauce for my shrimp and scallops, but that's a personal preference. With a 15% tip(takeout), our bill came to 45.00. 1 Platter split for 2 adults, and I couldn't finish my piece of fish. We have spent this price many times before. When we were done, we were looking at one another like "OK hun what's for dinner?" Nothing worse than paying for a meal, and you're left feeling hungry and unsatisfied. This was not the case here. This was almost all around 2👍 like I said previously, I believe because we came so close to closing time, ultimately, was the reason fries were, in my opinion, not good. I recommend trying this " catch" of a restaurant. They even offer a discount on ordering their takeout online. I'd catch that deal before...

I'm updating this review as the quality has changed significantly since I wrote this original review.

We placed our regular order (2pc Halibut + Poutine / 1pc Halibut / Battered Mushrooms x2) and the Halibut fillets were almost HALF the size at they were with previous. We contacted the store (Carlton St.) and spoke with the manager. He confirmed that that was the new fish filet size from their new supplier, and that they included an extra "piece" to make up for the difference.

I wrote the company to voice my concerns about this change. That was on 30 May 2021, as of 26-August 2021 I have not heard back from the company.

After additional emails, the company refuses to listen to my complain. We will not...

When I lived in Port colborne Union Jack's Fish & Chips were just around the corner from me and I ate there quite frequently. Since moving to St Catharines four years ago I was pleasantly surprised to learn that once again, they were just around the corner from me. The prices are reasonable, the haddock is so flaky it almost melts in your mouth. If you order fries, you get a very generous portion. If on next day I have leftover fries, I turn my ovento 450°and reheat them until they are crisped. The fish is served with a wedge of lemon which I really appreciate. The coleslaw appears to be homemade and is very tasty. I also love their deep fried clams, which you don't see too often in a fish and chip restaurant. No wonder Union Jack's Fish & Chips wins awards. Delightful food, friendly staff &...
