Sunnyside Provisions is a delightful little market on Roncesvalles that sells some fancy grocery items and prepared meals, along with a handful of sandwiches and other stuff you can take out (they have a few patio tables out front, but mostly, it’s a grab-and-go joint only).
I’d heard good things about the fish and chips (“Nova Scotian beer-battered haddock, fries, tartar sauce”), so that’s what I went with.
Yeah, it’s a solid dish. In particular, the batter is great; the fish in this dish often features an overly thick, substantial exterior that overwhelms the delicate meat within, but that’s not the case here. It’s nice and thin, but still has a good level of crispiness. It’s very satisfying.
The fish itself was a touch on the overcooked side and a bit dry, but not enough to particularly rain on my parade. I quite enjoyed this.
The zippy tartar sauce was also quite tasty, if a bit too oniony for me, a certified raw onion hater.
As for the fries, they’re a bit thinner than you typically expect from fish and chips, but they’re crispy and tasty enough that I’m not complaining.
