La Queue de Poisson

Voici un bon restaurant de poissons dans le coin de Verdun ! Son petit plus .? C’est aussi une poissonnerie ! Vous passez prendre votre poisson, voir même vous les appelez avant d’arriver et votre commande est prête pour cuisiner à la maison ! Tout est frais et selon arrivage.
Leur saumon fumé est excellent et fait maison !
Très bon coin à découvrir pour changer de l’éternelle viande/​burger !!

I got take-​out and part of the fish was undercooked. Also I asked for tartar sauce but got garlic sauce. I went there a couple of weeks ago and it was nice, but food should never be undercooked, end of story.

This place used to be good when it opened this summer. Went recently, and it was terrible. The fish was completely undercooked, the chef was arguing, until the owner stepped in and explained to the chef some basics of cooking fish. Despite this, we left, my wife with an empty stomach and a doggy bag (as her fish was raw and not edible), a recommendation to re-​cook the fish at home, and absolutely no apology or discount.
The other dishes were mostly pathetic. My salmon was good but the fries were re-​fried and disgusting. The other couple with us had octopus, and received a tiny portion at a huge price. They left hungry as well.
Will never go there again.

My friend wanted to try this place and I’m glad I did. We all had the fish and chips (haddock). We asked the waitress about the sauces and since it was our first time she brought all of them over. The portions are huge, and I probably could have shared with my friend. So if you don’t have a huge appetite definitely consider sharing. The fries were A-​MA-​ZING!!! The décor was also very on point, creating a fun and cozy atmosphere. It’s a very small place, and we were there on a Saturday afternoon so it was very quiet. I don’t know how busy it gets at night, but judging by the limited amount of seating it must get crowded. My only complaint is that I thought it was a tad pricey. Despite this, I’ll definitely be back to try something else off the menu.

Tried out this restaurant for the first time a little while back. Nice atmosphere and friendly service. Had the fish (haddock) and chips. Food was hot and tasty. Worth the trip… was so good, went back again later that week!

Passed by the restaurant on a rainy Friday evening two weeks ago on a friend’s recommendation. Brought back great memories of fish and chips. The haddock cooked perfectly in the batter. And the tartar sauce that went with it, epic! Would love to get the recipe. The customer service was topnotch, quite cozy and homey and prompt. A great thumbs up to the waitress. Having grown up with fish as my main protein source, I will definitely be visiting it over and over again.

Très beau décor et bonne nourriture, mais un service très pauvre pour un restaurant pourtant pas tant achalandé :(Nous avions l’impression de déranger. Dommage

J’aime beaucoup. Un des meilleurs endroits pour le fish and chips accompagné de frites et légumes grillés avec sauce cajun Mais né vous contentez pas des fishs and chips, goûtez également aux calmars, gravlax et saumon fumé.
Mou coup de coeur reste tout de même l’esturgeon fumé maison
Les prix sont raisonnables, l’ambiance sympathique, le service courtois.

Delicious! Especially the haddock, and the key lime pie.

Vraiment trop gras et indigeste le fish ans chips. nous avons aussi essayé les calmars… même constat navrant: c’est gouteux mais bien trop gras. nous sommes allés cherché de la soupe de poisson congelée … Nous avons été mal reçus, comme si on dérangeait…c’est bien dommage ! On avait le gout de les encourager mais ça né marche pas…

J’ai voulu tester ce nouveau restaurant. J’ai pris un fish and chips et des frites et à mon grand regret beaucoup trop gras j’ai été malade moins d’un quart d’heure après.

This place recently opened in Verdun and I finally got to try it out. First off. Be ready for a small venue. I mean VERY small. Two tables only, and a small bar-​looking table with 5 places on it. When the sun is out the terrasse is very nice, but on a rainy day, better to take out. The food was great, ordered a salmon fish n chip and it was delicious, it came with fries and on second thought, should’ve go with a salad. The greatest thing about this place is their fish selection to go. They take order by the phone for you to pick up and they can try to get some rarer fish if you’re willing to wait.

This really happened — a Bostonian walks into a Fish n Chips/​Seafood Market and asks for the owner in a noticeable (and proclaimed) Cape Cod accent. I’m cool with that, I’ve got roots close to there too. He was excited that there was finally a purveyor of fresh seafood (Fish n Chips shop) in his neighborhood. Three generations of one of the owners’ family come to meet him and offer samples of their home smoked Gravlax style and peppered Salmon, moist (yet salty) Monk fish, and salmon pâté were all served up on a cold platter with toothpicks. We both tasted away.
What a way to warm up the gullet, for the much anticipated heaping platter of 2 hefty pieces of beer battered Haddock, a virtual boat load of moist fries, cucumber covered mixed salad and some light yet tasty whipped tartar sauce. The batter was crispy and not lathered on too thickly. The fries had a nice taste without ketchup (as I found none handy), and just a splash of malt vinegar and ground pepper. The salad was fresh and healthy, but lacked any real dressing that I could detect (perhaps meant that way). I did manage to eat every last drop of food (despite being stuffed 2/3’s of the way through).
I also tasted their very unique velvety, almost a purée of clam chowder «chaudrée de palourdes» (not New England style, much to our Bostonian friends chagrin), which was distinguished nonetheless. I detected some kind of sherry like liquor and even a chunk of squash (I could be wrong about either). It also disappeared down the hatch. My new late lunch friend tried the fried calamari and was quite pleased with the batter.
There were many other items on the large chalkboard food and drink menu (above a large wooden communal table), including popcorn shrimp, house made butters and sauces i. e hot ketchup and Cajun mayo. I saw some people drinking beer with their meals (and before 5pm, nice).
The interesting thing about this shop is that is not only has a Fish n Chips menu, but they sell fresh fish/​seafood and you can get it cooked for an extra $ 7.00 (now that sounds like a welcome dinner plan). Another notable — there was nary a smell of fish, which is rare in a shop selling fresh fish.
Before leaving I washed my hands in the small yet clean washroom, and then checked out the frozen foods for take out, such as seafood lasagna and lobster bisque. Next to the freezer section is the live lobster tank (priced to market, so take a look when you are there), and on the opposite walls are sushi making supplies, other accompanying ingredients and spices for sale.
They will probably garner that 5^th star upon a second visit, as there was too much to try and not enough room in my stomach.
I’m also glad they’ve opened up shop, but I’d better start saving up because I’ll want to try it all — being the seafood lover I am.
