Notice the orange crush sign, always had a bottle with my fish supper at either the Anchor on Pape or the Model on the Danforth. Loved the funny orange bottle.
Notice how many fish and chip shops were located near a theatre in those days? Following a Saturday double feature matinee, the next stop was to get a cone of fries with malt vinegar and salt and eat on the way home. The best was to drink the vinegar at the bottom of the cone!
we always had fish and chips at the Anchor followed by a movie at the Palace oor Odeon Danforth.
It’s surprising that fish & chips were the first fast food, dating from the early Victorian era in Britain.
I remember Orange Crush in brown funny shaped bottles that had ridges on the outside. This would have been in the 50’s.
There was a Bentley’s Seafood on Yonge just north of Golfdale in the 50’s/60’s. I wonder if they were related?
I have the same question!
so tasty!! Great spot !
I washed dishes there on Fridays – my sister was a waitress.
Mrs Bentley Sr, her son was Boss (forget his name) and her son-in-law, Albert Corner.
I, too, wonder if they moved from Danforth to North Toronto on the block between Golfdale and Teddington Park.
Change of ownership, I think, there were one or two moves after that before they closed.
There was also a Bentleys F&C on McRae Drive in Leaside in the 1960s
We used to walk up to Cedarvale Fish and Chips on the north side of the Danforth every Satrday for 10cent cone of chips… about heaven but the halibut was the BEST 😋😋😋
