Fish & Chips Restaurants near Richmond Hill, ON

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“In first when we get there it was so empty ( weekend) i thought maybe food is not that good but we try shrimp and sunday deal ( fish and chips for 12) swear it was so good. 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.
Oh and onion rings were so good too.“

“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“

“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.“

“The last time we ate there was at least a year ago. We decided to go back for lunch yesterday. We met with the same owner (probably husband and wife). They are just as friendly as before. The foods are bar-none! We had a great time doing lunch there! The restaurant is spacious and clean. It is absolutely the Number 1 place for fish and chips!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“
