Pans Fish & Chips - Edmonton, Alberta

Old skool family run fish n chips place, there is a retro vibe to the restaurant. It's nearly 25 years old and has probably not changed a lot. Clean and well maintained. Found the food to be just about alright, fish had very thick and kind of stretchy batter coating instead ... of light and crisp as I was expecting but was ok. Chips weren't really great but came with condiments and coleslaw to make up for it. Portions was good size with 2 pieces of fish as lich special for $15 Service was quick and restaurant was moderately busy at lunch time with few tables available. Read more

Fresh and crispy fish, plus really nice owners. Went in on a Wednesday, not too busy but service was friendly and prompt. Had the 3pc Atlantic wild cod fish and chips (ended up being 4 pieces because the 3 on hand didn’t quite add up to 12oz so that was nice). The fish ... was fresh and had a nice thick. The batter was perfect, not too heavy and very crispy. Good fries too. Also started with the deep fried mushrooms.. really nice screaming hot inside. Could use a touch of seasoning. The dip was just sour cream (no skimping there).. but they went better with the zesty tartar sauce. Overall, I’d definitely go back. Read more

I ordered a three-piece bass and chips, which was prepared quite swiftly, a detail I greatly appreciated. However, I would have preferred it to be less oily and crisper. Despite this, the overall experience was very positive. The portion size of the food exceeded my expectations.

Meals are a little bit pricey but after seeing the portion, I understood the price. The portions are quite good. The lady is quite pleasant. The atmosphere is nice. The taste of the food is also good, it satisfies my fish and chip cravings. The cole slaw side dish ... taste good too. Will definitely come back again. Read more

Finding good fish and chips has been challenging until we found this little place. We tried the sole, haddock and basa - all were surprisingly good. The decor could use some updates but the food was good and reasonably priced.
