Ordered a regular pickerel meal (2 piece with regular fries) and a double pickerel meal (2 pieces with LG fried and chowder). In comparison to the first few times I had been the portion sizes have been reduced. It's still a decent size but definitely not the wow factor compared to the portions from years ago. The first piece I ate was the pickerel but when I had a few bites of the second piece the taste was noticeably different and my partner said that it didn't look like pickerel, it looked like cod. I went to let them know that I got 1 piece of pickerel and 1 piece of cod and the girl I spoke to first looked like she had no idea what to do or say so another man was directed my way but seemed busy and said 'thats how pickerel flakes' and when I clarified that they did not taste the same he was very dismissive and didn't even spend two seconds to keep eye contact with me while saying sorry about that and just moving onto whatever he was doing.

Read moreI been going to both locations for years. They are equally great. One located at St Vital mall the other at the Forks food court. Fish and chips are consistently delicious, I have had both the cod and halibut at different times(pickerel available as well), always good. Not too much batter, served with a lemon slice and tarter sauce. Fries and fish are made fresh for you and everything is piping hot when you get it. Always busy, I have never been there when there has not been a line up but they are fast and efficient. You can choose the portion you are hungry for, snack size to 3 pieces. I have never had a bad experience. I have not found a better place in Winnipeg for...
