Pros: The fish was fantastic!!
Cons: No cons for this place.

After trying Deluxe I felt that it was only appropriate to try Skipper Jacks fish and chips. Now, with a name like Skipper Jack's how cold you go wrong ordering the fish'n chips... well let me tell you.... YOU CAN'T

Skipper Jack's comes across as a diner/fast food joint all in one. The seating area is dominated by booths and the food is actually brought over to our table after you place it at the counter.

As per the standard in Moncton their 3 piece fish and chips was around the $9 mark. We placed our order and 4-5 minutes later we had our food server piping hot. The waitress realized we were a bit shy on fries so she returned with more later when they were ready.

I started with the fries. They did not have much taste but heck, I load'em up ketchup anyways. On the plus side the fries were very hot and crisp. Bottom line, they where fantastic. With that out of the way I tore into the fish. The smell and the look told me it was haddock. When I took the first bite it was confirmed. The haddock was moist and tender. Lightly coated in a tender crisp golden brown batter. Not too thick but just right. To date this is the best fish and chips I have had in Moncton. If you like Deluxe you will love Skipper Jacks.

Its a clean and cozy little restaurant with some of the best fish in town, you can't go wrong.

I give the Skip two thumbs up and a perfect 5/5.
