Went to Mommy’s for the first time since last year… after tasting the fish, I knew right away that it was no longer the same owners or recipe, it was dry, hard and quite frankly horrible, it threw it in the garbage. Did some research to find out that the business was taken over by someone else who has notable reduced the quality of the product that was being offered to customers for so many years! Will never go back!!! It is a sad end to what was an amazing fish and chip experience!

Don’t expect anything fancy, it’s a real hole in the wall. This place has been in business since the early 70s and I understand why. Food: amazing. I absolutely love it. Their specialty is fish n chips and you can taste the Scottish authenticity. I hadn’t gone in over 5 years, yet I did not taste any difference. Décor: reality is, there is none. Some posters of Scotland, but that’s it. Note: they are located on the waterfront. I always go pick up my food and eat on the beautiful and scenic view of the waterfront. I suggest you do the same.

They’ve been in business for YEARS and now I know why! I am not a big fan of fish and chips. I find them generally super greasy, way too much batter and over cooked. Not at Mommy’s! Not only that– but only $ 5.80 for 1 piece of fish with fries and coleslaw? Merci! I think they need to do something about the coleslaw, but I doubt many are complaining :) Even better, they are right on the canal so you can pop over to a picnic table on the water and enjoy :)

J’ai ENFIN essayé le Mommy Fish N Chips! Les avantages : — C’est mignon — Abordable — Réconfortant J’ai opté pour l’assiette du pêcheur parce que je suis une maniaque du poisson et des fruits de mer. Grosse déception par contre pour le goût et la friture. J’adore la friture comme tout le monde mais cette friture là n’est pas catholique! Beaucoup trop épaisse et le poisson né goûte pas du tout. Les crevettes sont Ok et les pétoncles aussi! Mon invité a choisi le cheese burger qui était vraiment délicieux … du genre cheese burger de party BBQ chez les amis l’été. La poutine par contre était mauvaise … c’est vraiment un sacrilège de raté une poutine de cette façon et j’accuse la sauce trop liquide et sucré pour aucune raison. Bref, si vous n’êtes pas du genre à vous sentir coupable de manger super gras et que vous aimez quand ça goûte le beigne lorsque vous rotez, je vous recommande cet endroit ;)

Great fish and chips in Montréal. I was going to say best but I recently tried the ones at McLean’s Pub on Peel downtown and like them more. The joint is tiny, so you’ll probably want take-out.

Très bon rapport qualité/prix. On parle ici d’un petit comptoir de quartier avec quelques places assises. C’est pas Brit&Chips mais les prix sont aussi moins élevés. Et les ‘chips’ de meilleure qualité. Seul problème: la bière. Pour un F&C, Budweiser et Labatt ça né passé pas!

Hole in the wall. Speciality is, in fact, fish and chips. They use haddock for the fish, and the chips are more properly the richly brown, square-cut, sweetish Québec fries one finds in poutine shacks than the archetypal blond British chips one imagines fitba’ hooligans and coal-heavers eating out of a rolled-up newspaper overseas. Doesn’t matter. They do a good job on both. There are a dozen-odd seats in the place, and a clean, usable restoom, but the bulk of their supper trade does seem to be pickup takeout. Have some Guinness or an English ale waiting at home if you drive up to take away the fish specials; either is perfect with it. And a bag of their fries, vinegared, salted, and eaten still-steaming while strolling along the riverside a block away on a cold October afternoon… well, there are many worse things.
