If any restaurant was to get the title of Whitby's premier dining establishment it would probably be Catch-22 located at the corner of Coîbourne and Byron> Sts.

Prom Monday to Friday they have luzi- cheon specials for $3.50 which includes a choice of soup or salad and a full course mal. The special changes Mr. Fis h & Mr. Muff in Perhaps the best part of Christmas is the traditional Christmas dinner. Turkey, ham or goose with ail the trim- ming is a mouth watering delight in every home. But the days im- mediately before and after the big event are busy ones and no one is more active than- Mom. Instead of making her cook every meal in the days before the holiday, one might try picking up an order of fish and chips to go from Mr. Fish and Mr. Muffin on Dundas St. W., just west of Frances St. The fish and chips at Mr. Fish is just out of this world, a reviewer for this new spaper wrote recently. Their choice of fish ranges from halibut, cod, sole or haddock ahl dipped in a batter that is flot overly spiced or overly duil. It is fried to a crisp without drying out the beautiful white flesh. The chips that ac- company the Ifish are fresh, well cooked and not greasy. The rest of the lun- ch/clinner fare is fairly standard and includes such things as steak on a bun, veal cutlets, and, of course, burgers. However, if none of these tickle the fancy, try the shish-ke-barb. The meat is tender," juicy, properly spiced and cooked to perfec- tion. Owner Peter Gavriiidis brings 10 years of fish and chip experience tu Whitby having- owned and operated similiar suc- cessful operations at three Toronto locations - Brimley and Lawrence, Kennedy and Ellesmere, and Victoria Park and Sheppard.
