Purely as an aside I was quite surprised that there apparently isn't an existing thread on this well known eatery, at least one I could find easily; at any rate went down last week during the nice weather for the first time since it was sold a few years back. In a nutshell what a huge disappointment: the prices were actually ok - $23.50 for 2 (large) pieces of halibut/fries is not bad as anywhere in this town its north of $20. But "wow" the quality of the fish was just awful - "mushy" would be the most apt description. "Tasteless" would be a close second.
I always enjoyed my previous visits to Barb's (when it was actually owned by "Barb"), but it will be a long, long time before I/we patronize this establishment again. I can think of at least a half dozen "fish and chips" joints in town that serve up an infinitely superior product. Terrible let down.
