Fish & Chips Restaurants near North York, ON

“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.“

“Had breakfast which was ok. But the girl serving us was incredible, she did cash, server, cleaned up and checked up on us...and was polite....she deserves a raise ! Only downside is the dinning area looks quite drab, it needs some colour and change the white industrial lights to soft yellow home style lighting.“

“I really like the boiled fish here. The black fish fillets are very tender and have no fishy smell. The grilled fish is Qingjiang fish, which I also like. It will taste better if cooked for a while. Other dishes also taste good. I will be a regular customer here. I am satisfied.“

“Delicious Food and the staff makes you feel like family. will be back to try more menu items.“

“Wow! This place is such a great neighbourhood spot, I can see why there are so many glowing reviews. It does get busy, so get there earlier. There are some parking spots available if you're lucky.

Tip: I overheard someone get their chips well done. If only I had known...

The chowder is nice and creamy. The fish is crispy and light and they clearly use fresh oil because it tastes fresh and doesn't have much of an oily/greasy aftertaste. The cod cheeks are delectable. The coleslaw is a bit of the lighter end, but maybe I'm too used to the goopy soupy mess that is KFC's. Caesar salad is also a bit light.

And you cannot leave without trying the key lime pie! Another table egged me on to get it and I am forever grateful. The key lime pie is such a good, deep blend of the tartness, sour, and a bit of sweet. The crumble is also great. It's the perfect complement for fish and chips.

The service is phenomenal. They're so great and I could see the owner walking around chatting with some of the regulars.

I will definitely be coming back, especially to try that apple crisp.“

“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 food, great prices!“

“One of the best fish & chips I’ve ever had.
Crust is just thick enough and the right amount of crisp without too much oil.
If I had to pick out one thing, it would be the mess on the table when we sat down although I would gladly overlook this.“

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

“I ordered the fish burger combo. The fries are really good and crispy, much better than I expected. The fish burger was really nice, a little too much lettuce portion on it, but a very nice meal, and larger than I expected. Wait times are longer than expected. I was told 8 Minutes for my food and I waited almost 20 minutes, which is double the time than expected. I would have been ok with this is I was told a realistic time instead of a time that they just wanted me to hear which sounds good to me. The atmosphere of the place ain't too bad, pretty decent, will try again in the future.“

“I’ve been wanting to eat fish and chips for a couple weeks now, and I’m finally able to today! Not only that, but I just ordered the BEST fish and chips I’ve had in a very long time! If you want old school style fish and chips, then come here because that’s exactly what I was looking for and Queensway Fish and Chips did not disappoint me! I’m going in to eat next time, though. I want to personally experience dining in, as well as formally thanking the wonderful people who made this delicious meal I’m currently scarfing. Omg. Mmmmm SO Good!!! ? ??“

“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%.“

“Called in for a takeout order, been wanting to try this place out as my other usual place had closed down. Gentlemen on the phone was very polite and provided pricing and answers to my questions. 15 mins for pick up and was ready beforehand which was nice. Atmosphere is fitting for a fish and chio place not sure what others are expecting. Ordered the halibut meal for 2 + order of scallops. The meal came with an order of chips decent sized with 4 packets of tartar sauce. The halibut was a good size with not a lot of batter it was the same size of the fish. I'll definitely be back when the craving strikes again.“

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

I love the tartar sauce and i finally found somewhere with good fries thaf is not frozen trasg fries. I love it. Thanks again guys.

“Delicious seafood of shrimp dumplings, crab cakes made with fresh Atlantic crab with garlic aioli and calamari.

Vegetarian options: Cauliflower taco, roasted sweet potato taco, spicy Korean salad, Caesar salad, sweet & salty brussel sprouts, cauliflower bites.“

“First time at Halibut House at Major Mac location which was recommended by a friend. Had the Cod and chips takeout. Such incredibly friendly service and the fish and chips were delicious and perfectly cooked. Will definitely be back again! Highly recommend.“

“Sooo yummy! Lots of available and clean seats in this food court. Its inside Eaton Centre’s new food hall and its very modern and has lots of new and interesting restaurants. I had the shrimp and chips and it was delicious. Also tried the potato salad and it was very flavourful and tasty.“

“I had food delivered and have eaten here before but todays breakfast was different… asked for bacon to be cooked almost to burnt and it was cooked to perfection … also the grilled potatoes are to die for … only gripe I have with this restaurant is why isn’t the toast toasted lol … outside of that no complaints“

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

“Really fresh food with not too much batter. Nice people and very clean. I had scallops and Greek salad with a nice semi sweet dressing. The wife, being GF had grilled fish and chips. No batter on the chips and real potatoes! Highly recommend“

“I usually go to another fish and chips place on the Queensway and I was very reluctant about trying somewhere new (the other place was closed Mondays). To my surprise the fish and chips here was very good! The orders are huge and the lady that was working was very very kind. I’d reccomend the half order of halibut and chips or shrimp and chips. The coleslaw is nice and creamy, the gravy and tartar sauce was spot on however I wasn’t crazy about the calamari. Overall very good, I’d definetly be back!“

“Mmm… mmm…good! So happy I found this place. Popped in the get take out. This is a real classic fish and “chip” shop. I was amazed at the fresh hand cut British style chips. The fish was battered and cooked perfectly. Kind and friendly service. Reasonable prices and family pack options. Definitely would recommend.“

“Ordered on April 28th. We were very disappointed. Way too much batter on the fish and was under cooked. Also ordered shrimp. Also too much batter. I don't know what the green stuff was, but it was not tartar. It might be a long while before we order.“

“Nice little place to get some good bar food with friends and watch a game. We had veggie quesadillas and a greek salad. Food was great and prices were quite reasonable. The place itself is easy to miss, being tucked away in a little strip mall. It would hold 30-35 people max. The owner works very hard to keep her customers happy and provide a good experience. We would happily return!“

“The workers were very friendly in offering recommendations and explaining the differences between each fish. We loved the fish and chips with the fish flaky yet fried to perfection. The fries were crispy and salted well. We chose the tartar sauce which went amazing with the fish.“

“Just finished an amazing meal (BLT with fries and a fresh fruit salad) with the kindest server (the owner) it had a very welcoming, happy vibe too! We also enjoyed the art up on the walls. Will come back for sure!“

“You have to try the ONION RINGS. They are MASSIVE! Burgers are super fresh and delicious. Staff is amazing here too. 100% recommend!“

“Great food, excellent service.“

“I used to come here when I was a kid living down the street. I'm so grateful this place still exists! I had the halibut and chips and it was superb. Crispy, not dry. And the interior is friendly too. I came here for lunch on a Monday so maybe that's why everything was so fresh and delicious!“

“Love it!!!! Great place!“

“I don't think it's fair to give this place low ratings for not meeting the superb standard that was set by the previous owner. This place is not a franchise.

I went for dinner on late Sunday night. The restaurant looks old and not very well lit. As other reviewers have mentioned, the restaurant is run by only one staff. He tried to make my dining experience comfortable: offering counters with a wider seatings and turned on additional lights while I read the menu.

I ordered the halibut fish and chips, and the fried fish checks all the boxes. It is not dry, flaky, not over-battered, and have fair portion size. Fries can get a bit dry after a few minutes, but I was allowed to use as much condiments as I desired with the large squeeze bottle. The tartar sauce is standard to
the majority's taste bud - not overly sour or sweet.

Sure this place may no longer be the "hidden gem" or "the local's favourite", but it still has its own charm and imperfection like any locally own restaurant. It offers budget option (the lunch size halibut) which are all under $20. It runs from 7am to 9pm everyday. It is halal friendly. The dining area is rustic but good for those who wants to have a quick yet decent meal without sitting among the crowd (something that seems harder to avoid in Markham as times goes on).

I will eat here again whenever I get a craving for fish and chips.“

“Best place ever! Service impeccable, food always amazing.“
