Amazing Mark! This WILL help me travel. Do I dare try to eat at all 24? That would be a SERIOUS challenge, but I would if I could. These videos excite me. I love waking up to this on a Saturday morning! Cheers!

Where else but Leo's would your gravy on the side be served in a coffee cup?! Looks great! And now I've GOT to have a fish and chips for lunch. After watching all that, I'm ravenous!

Keith's is hands down the best Fi' n' Chi' on the island, imho. Pitcher's, in New Harbour, is a close second. Love your content! Real chill.

One thing I really like about NL Fish & Chips is that they serve dressing with it….that is unique to Newfoundland! 👍🏻

When I was a kid There was more than Leo's and Ches's down at the bottom of Freshwater Road. There Was Johnny's, Scampers, and before the fire in the 90's, The Big R.

[@BearBreath70]

Had take out from Ches’s in 1980 - my first and only visit to NL. Drove up to Signal Hill to eat. I remember it as if it was yesterday. Had a couple of cold ones too, Black Horse Ale.

Terrific video Mark. Would love to see a Top 10 Best Fish n' Chips list. Cheers from Toronto!

[@NeilWeir-fm8zp]

Chafes Landing the best I ever tried, with moose stew as a side. Another thumbs up to Sallys Cove on the west coast, best fries in the world, yes, the world . Ate there every day I was in Gros Morne.

[@BasementDefenseSystemsBDS]

MOOSE STEW in the SIDE. have you LOST YOUR FRICKING MIND

[@tgx78]

Love love ‘by the beach’ fish&chips. My parents used to run a small fish$chips store in Abbotsford, BC so whenever I eat f&c, it brings back childhood memories.

[@feildpres]

im convinced the best fish and chips in the world can be found somewhere on this Island I have no idea where? But its here somewhere!

[@bigal-ox9jw]

Loves my fish &chips, worked in NLFD in 2013 for 8 months, wr ate good there at the camps in long harbor, had fish n chips weekly along with jigs dinner and top sirloin, lots of good food but never got out to the community, thanks for sharing when I go back for a tour.

[@exilednf1647]

Great video! I grew up down the bottom of Pennywell Rd right around Ches's and Leo's. I was always a Ches's man growing up but Leo's was excellent! I remember when Scampers was at the corner of Lemarchant and Longs Hill and the Big R was on Harvey Rd across from the CLB. It was fish n chips heaven growing up. I've made mention in another video but there is a difference between townie and baymen fish n chips. Baymen do it well, townie do it best! 😂 Keith's really is excellent. Another spot deep into the Irish Loop is Riverside in Cape Broyle, it is lovely. I loves me a good dressing as long as there are no onions so i always have to ask beforehand. Random question, is Hutch named Andrew Hutchings?

[@mark_royle_newfoundland]

Haha yes it is! The one and only Andrew Hutchings!

[@my3bb879]

Sea side fish and chips in CBS is one of the best places on the island to get fish and chips, it’s so good

[@georgesmiley1474]

Howdy from Houston

I had a family member with a take out in Jacques Fontaine which is very small. He worked a Trolls in BC, so similar fish/chips. He made a good homemade gravy that the locals would buy on it own for dinners.

[@shabadoo24]

Scampers used to be on Harvey Rd, Big R down the road from it. Johnny's Fish and chips was my go to shop. They were next door to Ches's on Freshwater Rd. Keith's was known by everyone in the Goulds as Ward's. Keith's last name

Seashore restaurant down in Margaree on the west coast. Hands down best ever! Thanks for the video 👌🏻

[@mark_royle_newfoundland]

Nice suggestion! I tried to go there two different times but they were closed both times (my fault for planning my trips when I did). But this is one of my favorite corners of the island so I'll be back and I'll make sure to try their fish n chips

[@davestratton460]

What are you doing with me b'y ? I'm in Alberta. Glad I can say that I had my share of fish and chips with dressing and gravy in alot of the spots you showed. I miss that, and the water. You showed the ferry to Bell Island, my uncle was the Captain of the John Guy, Kipawaw, and another one until he retired. Once we got out, he stepped away from the wheel and said she's all yours. I still remember that feeling when I took that big wooden brass wheel for the first time and the instruments, definitely good memories. His wife Aunt Myra made a deadly fish and chips. Take care bud, Newfie out.

[@mark_royle_newfoundland]

Haha sorry buddy! Where in Alberta are you? There was a place on 104 or 102 ave and 124 st in Edmonton called “Back Home Fish n Chips” that did a pretty good f n c with dressing and gravy but when I was there last year it was gone

I live in Ontario, that’s the closest looking chips I’ve seen to UK fish and chips like back home in England

Been to the Rock many times, have relatives there, going back in August. Chess's was always the hangover place, By The Beach is my favorite casual experience, and Captains table is more of a full menu Restaurant (infact I have a family connection if I recall) either way, hard to find bad fish'n chips in NFLD

Being from Toronto but all my family is in NL, All the restaurants you visited all have Pepsi signs everywhere, So use to seeing coke signs everywhere

[@mark_royle_newfoundland]

Its actually pretty interesting why it’s like that in Newfoundland. I can’t be sure that this is why, but I remember as a little kid the big Coke bottling plant shut down and a lot of ppl lost their jobs. Pepsi kept their plant going so everyone got behind them. I was super young and never really understood what that meant at the time but I still remember it being a very big deal. I’m pretty sure that still plays a role in how Pepsi is much more prevalent than Coke in NL even to this day.

[@joeprice8163]

@@mark_royle_newfoundland I also believe that the Pepsi bottler in NL is the only independent Pepsi bottler left in the world. All others are owned by Pepsico. I hope this. is still true.

[@nickg8494]

Word of warning about NFLD fish and chips. It will ruin fish and chips for you elsewhere. We're from NB, went to NFLD a few times to visit family in CBS. Fish and Chips are a must do in NFLD so we went to Denver's. OMG it was soooo good. We ate there a few times before leaving. Once home we would eat out and order fish and chips but we haven't found anything as good as it was in NFLD. Definitely would go back.

[@jameswight7321]

U go to sea side in cbs?

[@adamkenway7308]

I moved to Fredericton about a decade ago. Fish here's just not the same. They don't even use cod most of the time :(

[@trevormurphy7041]

Best advice go to Keith’s not on A Friday night and if it’s good Friday get there early always freshly chopped fries every day red potatoes for the last year or more

[@psychfish]

Mark, on your recommendation, I'm currently at Chess's for the fish & chips. Matthew, from Kansas City

[@psychfish]

Now at Leo's based on the video. Thanks for recommendations. Now, come to Kansas City and see who has the best BBQ sauce!

[@psychfish]

Finished eating at Leo's and it was better than Ches's by a lot. Everything was well prepared, fish was moist and flaky, fries weren't greasy. Probably second best of all the fish and chips I've had on this trip.

Awesome!! Oh man I would LOVE to do that. I’d come home about 40 pounds heavier guaranteed

[@thomasmartin-coffin9383]

If you ever travel to the Great Northern Peninsula. I would recommend GNP Dinner (Flowers Cove), Daily Catch (Saint Lunaire-Griquet), The Northen Delight (Gunners Cove), Willie's Fin 'N' Feathers (St. Anthony) there are others while coming up the coast I just have never been to them. Over on the Labrador side you have Fast Freddies ( L'Anse-au-Loup) and Whaler's Restaurant (Red Bay)

[@mark_royle_newfoundland]

Awesome! The only place on that list that I already knew about was Whaler's in Red Bay. I have a BIG trip partially planned for the southwest coast and west coast, all the way up for my first ever trip up the GNP and across to Labrador up about as far as Red Bay. You just helped me build my itinerary. Thank you!

[@UndisputedYoungsters]

daily catch is delicious! i'd add lightkeepers cafe in st. anthony too

[@Justinius21]

If you enjoy unique Newfoundland restaurants I highly recommend Sharon's Nook in Grand Bank, lovely atmosphere and while not necessarily purely a fish n chips spot they do a deadly fish cake. Also the best cheesecake in the province hands-down (this is a very biased take). No trip to the Burin Peninsula is ever complete without going there.

[@mark_royle_newfoundland]

Nice call! We’re going back to the Burin peninsula this summer and we’ll spend a couple of days in Grand Bank. Sharon’s Nook is the best dressed business on the island and I can’t wait to see it again! Such a beautiful building!

[@MrXstacey]

Didn’t know badgers diner burned down. I’ve been to the original. Rule of thumb for travellers, if they have a ton of truckers there, that’s where you want to eat. Badger’s diner was that place.

[@mark_royle_newfoundland]

I’ve been to the current location twice in the past year and the parking lot had a few trucks both times… still confirmation of a quality spot 👍🏼

It's not usually poutine. It's fries + dressing + gravy. Similar to poutine but sub out the cheese curds for dressing, which is the Newfoundland version of turkey stuffing, pre-turkey.

[@1991tommygun]

The fish and chips from the Quay in Brigus is better than the Riseover just up the road in my opinion. E&E in Brigus since 1968 is opening back up soon and they also have fish and chips (best chicken around)

[@retromario6130]

What is dressing? Like stuffing? Can you use stove top as a substitute? Also why don’t you add ketchup to your fries?

[@andrewhayes88]

Newfoundland dressing is used as a stuffing for turkey but used a lot with fish and chips as well. All it is, is Mount Sio savery with breadcrumbs. On fish and chips it's usually served dry, not cooked. When used as a turkey stuffing, it's more wet/cooked (which I honestly prefer but I will eat the dry dressing as well). It's nothing like Stovetop style dressing/stuffing when it comes to looks or taste.
