Fish & Chips Restaurants near East York, ON

“This has to be one of the best stops for Fish & Chips in the city. I had one piece of halibut and chips. It was a very large portion of fish - which justified the higher price for the meal. I certainly felt that I had received good value. It was not over battered and it was still light and crispy. I asked for well done chips and that's exactly how they came. This will become a regular stop for me.“

“Revising to 5 stars on the kind assurance from the owners that the issue with the chips was indeed a one-off. Looking forward to my next order!

They changed the chips 😞. Please tell me this was a one-off and you've already gone back to the previous chips, which were always proper. These ones were obviously manufactured and cooked from frozen, with some sort of 'crispy coating' on them. Not entirely bad, but not right. Captain John has been our reliable go-to for years now, with consistently fresh tasting fish, crispy batter, and (until now) a generous portion of chips cut from fresh potatoes. Delivery is fast, the food is still piping hot on arrival, and it's packed in carboard and paper so everything stays crispy.... I might give one more try but if the chips are still the new and NOT improved ones, I'm not sure I'll continue ordering from here.“

“I think this Fish 'n Chip shop is great. The owners are pleasant. The place is clean and the customers all seem to be enjoying themselves and the meal.“

“Great people. Great food. Support your local business.“

“Consistently among the best fish and chips vendors in the GTA. Duckworth's Fish and Chips is my go-to spot when I crave delicious, fresh, timely comfort food. A simple menu that yields excellent results. Kudos, Duckworth's! May you exist to serve many generations.“

“Absolutely delicious from start to finish. The portions were fantastic, the food tasted fresh, and the batter was perfectly light. The service was great, and the quiet atmosphere, with plenty of loyal regulars, made it feel special. The Scottish influence really sets it apart from other fish & chips restaurants in Toronto. We’re thrilled to have found our new go-to spot. Highly recommend!“

“the food is excellent the fries are really good and of course the fish sometimes at other places you get fish but the fries are not as good. here all is delicious“

“Great food, great prices!“

“Haven’t had fish & chips in a long time and the folks at this shop satisfied my cravings. Found in a small, unassuming plaza, this family-owned business is slinging out perfectly fried fish and spuds.

The folks who run this establishment are very welcoming and make you feel at home. The atmosphere here is nostalgic. It feels like I’m in my family’s kitchen from my childhood.

I ordered the halibut and chips for myself, got cod and chips for my brother, and we shared a calamari and gravy. Food was pretty good. Fish tasted buttery and delicate. Batter was thin, crispy, and flavourful. NOT overly greasy, major news! Loved the thick cut fries. The gravy really took them to the next level. Portion sizes are pretty big and these prices are insanely reasonable!

I highly recommend McCowan Fish & Chips; support small businesses! One if my favourite spots in Scarbs now. I will be back!“

“All in all good food for good prices. Definitely going back.“

“We recommend it absolutely! My partner and I both had the Haddock fish and chips. We were looking for gluten-free options near the music hall and we found this little gem. She said the fish and chips were some of the best she’s had, not even accounting for the gluten free aspect! We would definitely come here again 100%.“

“I just recently found out about this GEM of a place. I don't normally like rice but, Lilis rice is fabulous as is all of the food here. Generous portions and excellent prices.“

“Hidden gem for some AMAZING fish and chips run by a mom and pop duo at Peanut Plaza for ages. It’s our go to place when we are craving some really good old fashioned fish and chips :)

We got the daily special fish and chips combo. It’s $11 with tax (see picture). A steal to find and definitely worth it since it will put you into a good food coma afterwards.

The daily special fish and chips combo comes with a good sized haddock fish, lots of crispy chips, choice of coleslaw or gravy, and a pop. The haddock is awesome. It’s nicely battered to make it crispy on the outside while maintaining that nice flaky fish goodness on the inside. Also, the gravy is a must. It goes so good with the crispy chips.

Heads up, limited seating. It’s more of a take out fish and chips shop.“

“We just at the single best fish and chips dinner of our lives!!! Holy mackerel!! This was excellent!! Onion rings are to die for!“

“Last Sunday my friends and I was looking for a bar to go have a few drinks. We went to Cheers for the first time. Carmen the owner was so welcoming made us feel at home what a gem and legend she is. She is such a wonderful human being. She is not judgemental and makes the environment like you are coming to see mom. My friends and I will be back. Being in the industry its refreshing to feel comfortable. The locals was are amazing people. See you soon much love to all.“

“As a Brit who hasn't been home for a little while I was craving some good old fish and chips. The cod and chips were pretty close to what I get back home, although not quite the same but the best I've had in Canada so far. Food taste and portions were great but the only negative was that I had to wait 25 minutes for it to be ready. Not sure how the UK churns them out so quickly but wait time here was the thing that let them down. That being said, it was worth the wait if you're craving fish and chips.“

“Halibut House in Thornhill has a very good atmosphere with a big, neat dining saloon that feels comfortable and inviting. The staff are welcoming and attentive, especially Rina, who showed great hospitality and made our visit pleasant.

We ordered Halibut and Cod dishes with fries.
The quality was good overall, but the Cod was a bit tasteless, and I’ve had more flavorful fish and chips in other restaurants. That said, the experience was enjoyable, and I might come back to try some of their other dishes.“

“The food here is fantastic! We ordered the crab cakes, calamari and cauliflower bites to share and the portion sizes were perfect. The crab cakes were especially good! The service here is also exceptional, super-friendly and overall good vibes.“

“my first time trying the halibut house really impressed I ❤️ there french fries really delicious food 😋 😍“

“It's one of the better fish n chips place where the fish taste good along with the fries. Now I say that but the fries are still on the plain side of fries, but they're nice and crispy and some seasoning helps out.

They got deals on certain days, making the cost quite reasonable.

The location is nice and calming with the blue atmosphere.

My only complaint is when requesting poutine to be added to your dish, it's a completely different dish and cannot be combined as an addon. Which they use to do by making it an addon and you pay whatever amount for it. But if you try to get the deals and poutine you have to pay full price instead of the deal + addon.

Aside form that, I enjoy eating or getting takeout from halibut house.“
