Willman's Fish & Chips - Halifax

Perfect lobster roll. Great beer. And fantastic gluten free fish and chips.

I have been in Halifax for over 30+ years and I've never heard of Willman's until a friend mention the diner a few days ago. To my surprise it was not that far from where I reside now.I arrived just after open 11am for a lunch take out. 2 piece fish and chips. Waiting for the order I had a wonderful chat with the owner. I asked about frozen or fresh fish, he looked at me with surprise and resounding responds with NO our fish is fresh, and secret homemade batter and the fries fresh cut daily.The oil is changed daily which surprised me because we all know what second hand oil used in fish chip tastes and smell like (horrible).The order was done in a timely fashion and the smell was amazing this is before I had tasted the food.To my surprise and delight the 2 pieces of fish were huge and the regular batter did not over-size the pieces like so many other fish-joints.My own taste Willman's Fried fish is the best I have ever tasted and the fries a wee bit on the soft side but taste the way fries are suppose to taste, like potatoes.Over all Willman's is hands-down a diner that needs to be experienced. I am Looking forward to trying the light-battered fish.Please keep in mind this is my review and thoughts on the diner and staff. You will need make your own informed decision by giving Willman's a try.Scott

If your not showing up here hungry, you aren't going to finish your plate. Traditional battered fish was absolutely dynamite. I had the big bouy platter. Definitely the highlight of Halifax.

Ive been here twice for dine in and three times for takeout. The food has always been very good. I think the crux of good fish and chips is to eat it as soon as its out of the fryer, so of course the batter loses some of its crispness when packed up for takeaway. Its to be expectedRecently went in for dine in and had the kafta dog, which was delicious, my 5 year old kiddo had the haddock bites and my wife had the fish and chips. Smiles and full bellies all around.The gentleman who served us was wonderful; humorous, warm and very kind to our little guy. He noticed when our son was putting up a fuss about being hungry and asked if we would like his food brought out as soon as it was ready. Great service!
