York Fish & Chips

Tumble in here for fish and chip just before an event, spacious, clean. Many varieties of fish, had a halibut fish and chip. The wait is short, the outer skin is so crispy and fish inside was still moist and tender. I’ll definitely come back again for more later.

Fish and chips is one of my go to comfort foods. Usually I try to eat in because deep fried food usually don’t stay crispy wrapped up in a bag. However, I did order take out this time. I ordered one of their lunch specials, haddock and chips with coleslaw and a can of pop for $ 8.95. Large portion size so good value. Surprisingly, the fish stayed crispy when I got home. The fish was moist and batter light and crunchy. The fries didn’t fair so well. They were soggy but as expected with any take out fries. I can imagine they would be better eaten in.
A mom and pop operation which I like supporting. I would come back again when I get a craving for good traditional fish and chips.

Not sure why such a low rating…
I’ve been here quite a few times and, really, come on, it’s fish and chips… What are you expecting?
Its straightforward. My personal favourite item is Halibut on a Bun. Why? It’s what McDonald’s tries to do as a fish sandwich bit fails at. Battered Halibut with lettuce, tomato and tartar sauce… Damn, so good.
4 stars only because, I agree the place looks outdated, but most fish and chips shops look divey, so big deal.

2 stars = Meh. I’ve experienced better… at IKEA!
I am a big fan of fish and chips. Too bad many places just don’t know how to make it. So whenever I see a place with «Fish & Chips» in their name I have to try it out.
I will start off by saying the restaurant is spacey and it’s décor is old-​fashioned. Restaurant and washrooms are kept clean. Service is quick. No WiFi though.
Now to the food. I ordered halibut and chips. Portions are good but the halibut was greasy (and not in a good way). Fries were A-​OK. I was expecting more from a fish & chips restaurant.

Disapponting. I love fish and chips and gone here once before and it was ok. It’s close to where we live so picked up a family dinner of Halibut and chips. The halibut was the thinnest cut of fish and all batter, it looked like it had been sliced in half. Called back to tell them but they wouldn’t do anything and said that’s the way it is. I know what a piece halibut is supposed to look like. Next time I’ll drive the extra distance and go up to Arora to a place I know is always good!

I discovered this restaurant after my fave fish and chip place in Richmond Hill closed it’s doors. I’ve tried the Allencourt for Fish and Chips but this place is better.
This restaurant is located in a plaza that is located just north of Elgin Mills, on Yonge St. The plaza contains a Loblaws and this restaurant is a few doors down from Coras.
Anyways, the restaurant itself could use some updating, but from observing their clientele, most come in and order takeout. The counter is usually fairly busy, which is a good sign for a fish and chip place. The restaurant is clean and staff are friendly.
I can’t comment on their menu items, as I have only had their Halibut and Chips, lightly battered. This is why I come here… the portion size is good and the fish is flavourful and moist. Chips are homemade and there’s plenty of them. Coleslaw is typical fare.
I’ve dined here probably 4 or 5 times now… never had a bad meal and continue to come back when in Richmond Hill
