We tried this little eatery on the recommendation of the City Sightseeing hop on hop off bus guides. It was pretty ordinary.

We had to go to the Codmother Fish & Chips after reading the reviews on Trip Advisor. I rarely find thin crisp English style batter in North America so was really looking forward to this. I was not disappointed. We went at the end of the lunch hour; the small courtyard with picnic style tables was in direct sunlight and... More

I had no idea my map was taking me to a food truck, but what a pleasant surprize! Best fish and chips i have ever had! I orderd a side of the baja sauce, which wasnt my favorite, but the food is amazing. if your looking for a quick fresh lunch fried lunch look no further!

Anthony our tour bus guide recommended this restaurant to us and we weren't disappointed. The fish and chips were freshly cooked and were delicious. Some of the best we've ever tasted.

We were struggling to find somewhere to eat in the craziness that is Fisherman's Wharf and were soooo pleased to stumble across Suzanne's quirky food truck. My husband (from Scarborough, so a tough nut to crack) had the fish and chips which he said were delicious, really fresh and light. I had the fish tacos and they were very tasty,... More
