25 Best Seafood Restaurants near Ajax

“First time here and we cannot recommend this place enough. staff? warm and friendly. atmosphere? calm and inviting. food? to quote my 10 year old: "it tastes like happiness" we had the seafood boil with the sea salt signature sauce, lobster, crab, shrimp, mussels, corn, potatoes, and we added noodles and crawfish. I think my kid thanked me seven times during this meal for bringing her here. we will 100% be back.“

“Great atmosphere and staff’s prepared special burger for my daughter out of Menu.“

“Been a while since we went to Captains about. Returned for a special birthday celebration and our waitress surprised my wife with the robot birthday song delivery. Nice touch thank you l. Food did not disappoint l, was fresh as we had remembered it to be. The shrimp was good but a little skimpy on the sides including tiny rice bowls, a quarter potato and an a half cob of corn (for example) in the boil which is why the lower stars. Flavour was good, just higher price, so was a case or pay more for less.“

“We were planning a trip to Ajax/Pickering area for some errands and were looking for a spot for lunch.
(Preferably Fish & Chips). Did a quick Google search and this place was allover the place. This place was FANTASTIC!!! Probably the best Halibilut I've ever had. Crispy and batter stayed on the fish. Fries were also good. We Also ordered a side of Scottish Bread with butter. Service was excellent as our water glasses kept being topped off.Decor was interesting with all the walls covered with Scottish memorabilia. A little pricy but you get what you pay.for. And Oh....tons of tartar sauce packages.“

“Superior service and delicious meals. Wonderful cocktail menu to top it all off. Will be back asap.“

“We saw the Halal sign but couldn't verify independently. While we were thinking of going elsewhere at that late night hour, we asked a few questions, and the staff wnsured us hard that they only buy halal, so we sat down. The food was good. Soups, satay, roll, dragon chicken, fried rice, and Tsao chicken. Fish was good, too, but little more oily. Pad Thai was not bad, little dry, though. The server Kavita was nice, I think we tipped a little less than what we should have, by mistake. Of course. Overall experience was good“

“Love the food. It is always packed with care and delicious!“

“They just do a terrific job of Fish And Chips !!!and the

The fish and the batter are second to none as well as the chips ……and I’m from Scotland , so I can be a hard judge so can my mother. We are both very impressed. Also, there’s sides of coleslaw which are made in house that I highly recommend.
I bet if they were to do mushy peas on the side, it would be dynamite too“

“The service was 👌 super friendly, very welcoming and polite. Food was fresh, very good and the fries were great. Affordable and had that old restaurant feel, if you appreciate nostalgia. Didn’t realize it was so close to the mall, sometimes you get bored of eating in the court especially when it’s close to closing time. Will definitely come back with the family and recommend.“

“September 30, 2025 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I ordered Pollock 1 Fish (3 oz) & 1/2 chips for only $6.95 + tax and wow, that was a crazy steal of a deal! The fish was served nice and hot off the fry, and it taste absolutely crispy and delicious! So worth it, a must try!“

“Excellent food and customer service“

“WOW What a Friday night for fish and chips...SO DAM good,,.WILL order again...fish not greasy as well as fries...soo good..Thank you very much....for great food,,,and good delivery service“

“Susan helped me with my order as I was a first-timer for fish and chips. She was very kind, attentive, and guided me throughout—service was perfect! 🙌 High-five to Susan for the great recommendations 👍✅

That said, the food itself was extremely oily. I only live 3 minutes away, but by the time I got home, my car seat had already absorbed oil dripping from the fish and chips, so it definitely needs less oil.

Great service, just hope the food can be a little lighter next time!“

“We came here for lunch as a group. The place just opened around noon and there was no one.

We ordered only dim sum. The quality is good overall, a bit pricy but that’s expected for a casino location.

The servers didn’t seem especially friendly at first but when you get to know them they are quite nice.

I think it’s good to have some Chinese food to cater to the demographics.“

“I ordered catering many times. My guests enjoyed the food whenever it was delivered from Usmania Grill. I found their delivery on time and excellent service. Definitely recommend.🙂“
