Fish and Chips
Tuna Blue Restaurant
Fish and chips may be the most widely found dish in the province, and there are plenty of contenders in the Halifax region when it comes to who serves the best version. The dish can be traced back to 19th-century London. It arrived in Nova Scotia with British immigrants, aided by the region’s abundance of fresh fish.
The Nova Scotian version of fish and chips typically features battered, deep-fried local haddock served with fries (home-cut are best), tartar sauce, and coleslaw. The batter is often made with beer, as the carbonation helps create an airy, crispy exterior that encases tender, flaky fish. Traditional fish and chip shops offer the dish in one-, two-, or even three-piece version.
