"It's easy to buy ingredients and product from suppliers,? says Pouliot, "but when you put down a plate of fish or a dessert in front of someone, and they say 'Wow,' well, that's important to me.? Pouliot realized early on that people have high expectations of their food at Walkers, "so I started getting passionate about fish. There is nothing between the fish and its coating. No dough, just simple. It's about the integrity of the food and we work hard to be the best.? Walkers may not have the ideal location or great parking, or a large space for that matter, but what it does have is dedicated customers and great fish and chips. On a Tuesday, the place was packed and Pouliot pointed out a few couples who regularly show up on a specific night of the week for their fish dinner. "The great thing about Walkers,? he says, "is that anyone working here, anyone in the kitchen, they all believe that a plate of fish is not just a plate of fish. We are not fine dining, we are not fast food. What we do, we do it well.? Walkers offers halibut, haddock, cod or pollock fish and chips and a variety of seafood sides and starters such as breaded clam strips or shrimp.
