Fantastic fresh perch and pickerel. Batter is light, large portions, old school seating if you can get a seat. Staff is awesome. Fries are really good too. Great little fish and chips shop (and fresh fish sales). Highly recommended, a real gem. No other place in Port Colborne compares.

The fried perch is so tasty and unique. They serve up some great fish and chips all around here. Really enjoyed the jalapenos in the coleslaw. Everything is so fresh and tasty. The tartare sauce is done really well too. Little tang and a lot of flavour. Friendly staff and fast kitchen. Like the exterior of this place. Prices are okay. Limited hours. No Free WiFi.

My family and I went to Canal Days, as we do every year, and always get the perch by the piece and large fry combo. This time I tried some of the pickerel as well. Delicious. Fish is lightly battered. Food is always great. About 10 minutes for our food. There was a table ready for us in the new dine in area. In the shade and a nice breeze blowing through. I will always recommend Minors to everyone.
