This place kind of came up out of no where. Leaving Lincoln Fields one day I noticed it and was somewhat drawn to the fact that it offered FISH and chips, along with poutines, various types of smokies/wieners etc.

I'm not a big french fry eater because I am tired of flavourless fries that leave a grease film in your mouth. However, this day I felt like fries and so I ordered a medium, which was quite large.

These fries were great- Fairly thick cut but rather short in length. A nice golden hue and they had a nice, rich potato flavour.
I saw a poutine go out and it looked good but I'd have to try one to comment further.

The staff were very pleasant and efficient. The truck was also remarkably clean- some of them tend to look rather dingey.

I must return to try the fish in addition to more chips.

Finally got around to giving this place a try. The fish is certainly better than the usual Cap'n Highliner stuff you get from chip wagons. They're proper haddock filets, albeit quite thin ones. Mine were dark and greasy but flavourful. The fries were also overcooked and not to my liking. These glitches may have been because they were just about to close up for the day.

Anyway, at $9 for one piece and $12 for two, you're better off going somewhere like Merivale Fish Market & Seafood Grill. But Xronos Fish and Chips will do in a pinch!

The gentleman serving me was very pleasant and I got a good feeling about the place.
