Moby Dick Restaurant, White Rock

1 piece Cod and Chips (they give a free extra piece!)

Ahoy,

Today I indulged in the fine cuisine of Fish and Chips at The Moby Dick Restaurant in White Rock. This is a classic by the ocean restaurant, with a theme of being on the fisherman's boat. It really is a neat, enjoyable atmosphere which is filled with both locals and tourists alike.

The fish: Wild Fresh Cod cooked in a classic crispy batter. I felt the batter was a bit too dense for my liking, however this was easily compensated by the perfectly cooked, flaky, melt in your mouth cod. The house tartar sauce was accented with dill and definitely made for a memorable dip. - 8.5/10

The chips: Fresh hand-cut Yukon gold potatoes. Need anything more be said? Cooked perfectly, and the exact way the chips should be to compliment the fish. 10/10.

The venue/presentation: The restaurant interior really is a charming dining room and is a delight to eat in. But the real value in this joint is the take out window which leads right onto the shores of beautiful White Rock beach. They provide cutlery and take out boxes to have a memorable ocean front picnic. - 10/10

The price: 1 piece cod and chips: $9.95 (note they give a free extra piece of fish)

The overall verdict: 9.5/10 - I would not hesitate to send any fish and chips lover to the Moby Dick Restaurant for their unique experience of fish and chips. They have very friendly, down to earth and quick service. During the summer months, there is often a very long line up at the take out window, but I view this as part of the fun experience. Moby Dick Restaurant is definitely a top contender as one of the best Fish and Chips in Vancouver.
