Perky's Fish and Fries Too

A sunny Sunday at Perky's Fish and Fries too

The other day while I was driving through Ontario on Simcoe County rd 27 from Elmvale to Barrie. I stopped for lunch at small road side fish and chip trailer that had recently opened across from the Elmvale Jungle Zoo called, "Perky's Fish and Fries Too". It was some of the best fish and chips I have ever had and I like to think I am a connoisseur of the dish.

I was greeted when I arrived by a mother/ daughter team who were running the trailer on the sunny Sunday afternoon, and had taken a few moments to play a game of giant Janga with a set made by the owner for the visiting public to use. They were very welcoming and the mother suggested I try the cod combo with a hint of "newfie" accent in her voice. I had not have cod often in the past, but was very pleased with my choice to take her suggestion.

I stayed for about an hour, much longer then I normally take for such stops. I was simply taken with relaxed and peaceful setting, and felt the need to sit and take it in while recording my thoughts in my journal. As I sat there I noticed the many things that had been done to make people feel welcome. They have the normal picnic tables and umbrellas, but also a goldfish pond, the giant Janga game and a "Doggie Pond" so that dogs and their owners are able to stay and relax. Over all the experience I had was a very pleasant one and I hope to stop in again some day if I am ever in the area.
