Restaurant bewertenNot Disappointed!. I put 'best restaurant ' in Google search for White Rock. After reading reviews I couldn 't be more pleased with the Fish Chips...my salmon was cooked perfectly the fries were amazing. Since these are baked instead of deep fried it takes a little longer to be prepared...but well worth it. The portion is very large...I took 1/2 home.
Excellent little place! Definitely one of white rock's treasures. I've only tried the frozen yogurt but it keeps me coming back summer after summer.
Healthy fish 'n chips? Oh yes.. Eddie, the owner of The Whale 's Tale, is a retired restaurant owner and gourmet chef who decided that he wanted to have something to keep him busy. 15 years later, he is still pleasing customers at The Whale 's Tale. If you want fabulous fish and chips that are also heart smart, you will not be disappointed. We visit every time we drive up to White Rock. Fresh mixed green salads are an option as are the top quality hot dogs.
Sadly, I prefer greasy fish 'n ' chips. I wanted to give The Whale 's Tale a try because how often do you find BAKED fish 'n ' chips, not fried? The two pieces of ling cod I got were interesting. The batter clings like a thin second skin to the fish, instead of being puffed out and crunchy like conventional fish 'n ' chips. That lets the flavour of the fish shine through, without the crusty taste/texture element to get in the way. My fish was clean tasting and moist. I 'm sad to say, though, that I LIKE the unhealthy outer coat to conventional fish 'n ' chips. Not to say that The Whale 's Tale 's version is bad. If I had heart trouble, I 'd go there for sure. It 's not cheap $17.80 for two filets of cod, and halibut/salmon are over $20 for 2.<br/ <br/ I couldn 't tell if the chips were deep fried or not. They have a coating so they 're unnaturally crisp, but it 's not one of those seasoned coatings. The Chinese owners were nice, coming out to ask how I liked the food, offering to refill the water bottle I brought on my bike trip, even asking if I wanted to have my picture taken when they noticed I was snapping shots of my dish. That 's a far cry from the brusque vibe you get at English style chipperies.
Great place to have a fish and chips,one of those hidden gems. Hopefully more locals support this place.
