Craving the delicious taste of fresh fish and chips? If so, look no further than Captain George’s Fish & Chips’ award winning menu. Voted the Durham Region's Readers’ Choice #1 fish and chips restaurant for almost a decade in a row, Captain George’s is the perfect destination to satisfy your hunger.
Beyond their award-winning fish and chips, Captain George’s also features a continental menu of Canadian favourites. “Even with our amazing fish and chips, our burger is one of our most popular menu items,” says owner George Blougouras. “Homemade and cooked-to-order, they’re a huge hit with our regular customers.”
We had the cod & chips special which came with slaw and a drink. The cod was a fair sized portion (I was told the filet was 5 ounces). The batter was nice and crisp without being too heavy. In the thickest part of the filet, the batter was a bit greasy, otherwise it was very nice. I believe the fish was previously frozen as it was a bit mushy, on the whole however, I was very happy with the fish.
The chips were a little thinner than most chip shops, they were from small potatoes and a few got slightly overdone for my tastes. Otherwise it was a solid order.
The slaw was finely shredded and had the tang of an oil and vinegar slaw, yet was mayo based. It seems to be a bit of a hybrid. The tartar sauce was house made and was simply mayo, sweet relish and mustard. Nothing wrong with it (it's basically how I make my own). I use dill relish or finely diced pickle which is more my preference (a bit more tang).
Always courteous, clean and delicious. This is one of my favourite places to sit in Whitby. The guy who owns this shop is so friendly I can't help but be in a good mood around him. The batter is non-hydrogenated, 0 trans-fat and DELICIOUS. I've tried everything there. The salads, the wraps, the halibut, fries, sweet potato fries, souvlaki, the BANQUET BURGER! MMM, the burger is his own mother's home made recipe! If I budget allowed I'd eat there once a week at least for the food and to keep such a great local establishment in business. Best Fish & Chips in Whitby 5 years running!
