Schooners on First

Having lived in Cochrane for a few years and being a seafood lover, I always overlooked Schooners due to its reviews.

Don't miss coming to this spot for the best fish and chips ever! Warning...you may just end up eating more than you planned, as those hand cut fries will just beg you to finish them. Just make sure to start with the fish! The salads were fresh and attractive tempting you to have one of those as well.

Great tasting, fresh halibut with homecut fries. Good service and good prices. Worth the drive out from Calgary!
