    Where can you get a two piece halibut fish and chips with a lovey salad for under $15 Canadian? Try Capt George's! Not much in the way of scenery.. old pictures of tropical fish and a wooden ship model (actually nice) small tables and a to go counter but my halibut was fresh and fried perfectly- the salad was fresh and very tasty. I passed on the chips cause of the carbs ya know.. but excellent service and great price!
    Oh magic halibut, how tasty God has made you!

    I tagged along with a friend to do some maintenance on his cottage and, on our way back home, we stopped for a late lunch at a place that he recommended, Captain George's Fish & Chips.

    He ordered the fish & chips but I forgot what type of fish (haddock, cod, or other). It looked really good, with a decent size piece of fish, chunky fries, and coleslaw.

    Wanting something different, I ordered the gyros dinner, served with fries, Greek salad, and tzatziki. The salad was good and the fries were nice and crispy but I was a little disappointed with the gyros. Instead of the freshly carved cones of meat off a rotisserie, it was pre sliced pieces of meat, kinda like what you might buy in a supermarket. It wasn't bad but not what I expected from a restaurant.

    Lesson learned. When at a fish & chips restaurant in cottage country, order the fish & chips!

    Came here on the way back from the sandcastle festival nearby. After beaching all day, was in the mood for some seafood. Not really sure why the rating is so high at this place.

    The servers did their best to be friendly, though did have to be asked multiple times for certain things - they were busy this day however, so I will give them a pass on that.

    The food though was mediocre at best. The combos were much pricier than expected given the little amount of food you actually get. Worse yet, underneath all of the fried batter (that fell off almost instantly after putting a fork into it), was very little fish, shrimp, and scallop. The dish we ordered came with the tiniest of cups of tarter sauce, that honestly was already gone after a few dips - not really sure why they were being so stingy with sauce. I saw other tables similarly ask for more sauce, which arrived in more tiny little cups.

    Given the high rating, the food was quite underwhelming.

    Had a delicious meal at Captain George's and at a great bargain. The dinner for 3 was a superb deal for the 3 of us and plenty of food. The server, Sheldon, was outstanding... super friendly and very accommodating. This was a great spot to stop for lunch.

    Great food, great service. Couldn't recommend enough. Both the haddock and the halibut are excellent,  the chips are equally excellent. Classic fish and chips at good prices.
