New Toronto Fish & Chips

I got the halibut for take out. When I got home the fries were pretty soggy. The batter on the fish wasn’t great, but the fish was excellent. Nice big piece as the batter was very thin on it.
I have no complaints however it didn’t blow me away. I had a craving for fish and chips and this place satisfied it.

Very good fish and chips! We often have them on christmas eve-​day because historically they have been open on December 24^th. Usually do takeout — it takes some time to wait for everything to be cooked /​fried, but it’s good.

Great fish and very friendly and efficient. Great mom and pop operation. Excellent halibut. My only criticism is the fries. They are a bit soggy and get worse when you get them home (we live 3 blocks away). Otherwise their fish is superb. We have a cat that NEVER eats people food and he loves it too.

Ordinarily I’m not big on fish, I need to be in a particular mood to enjoy it and it needs to be cooked a certain way. My fish and chips need to be cooked a certain way too and this place is AMAZING. It is hands down my favourite place in Toronto for fish and chips. The food is always fresh and hot and absolutely delicious.
A bit pricey at times but they have regular deals that you can take advantage of.

We’ve been coming here since 2007. It is consistent, well priced, and always friendly. We love their coleslaw. Their fish has always been plump and fresh. The batter is consistently tasty. The fries are sometimes a miss, though when they are a hit — 75% of the time, they are great. I also like their onion rings. I would recommend it. It is a heavy meal — let’s be clear, greasy and heavy, though you don’t leave like you’re carrying bricks in your belly. You just feel full.

Really tasty halibut and chips! Eat in if you can since the crispiness of the meal is key. So the décor isn’t modern, get over it! The portion sizes are large but you can halve the fries if it’s too much. Their hours didn’t have late eaters in mind so go early!

BEST in Toronto… and New Toronto!!!

One of the best Fish & Chip places in Toronto. The interior looks like an old greasy spoon but I always get takeout.

Definitely an eat in spot unless you like soggy fish n chips. Eat in and get nice fast service at this old school greasy spot. The décor and seating is really dated but the food is pretty good. Try the onion rings as they are delish but really heavy.

Went in for dinner on Christmas Eve. The halibut had a thin coating of batter (mostly fish)! The chips were hand cut and very good. Loved the cole slaw. The retro décor is interesting.

I really wanted to like this place but there were problems.
Pros– Fish and batter were good. Price was very good.
Cons– Chips were crappy (yes they are hand cut but that doesn’t make them good) and customer service was bad bad bad. Granted I did go in 20 minutes to close, HOWEVER, I noticed that that was the case and very politely asked if it was still ok to get take out and he said yes for sure. So, when my food was ready the guy tossed in on the counter and didn’t say a word to me, I found it really rude. Lastly, I got home and realized there was no tartar sauce put in the bad nor was I asked if I wanted any… come on! It’s fish and chips!
Wish it was good because of the price point but I will not be back.

My visit was for take out at 6:30pm, height of Monday dinner time.
Visit Again?: Yes, but only because of proximity

I didn’t mind the retro squalor, some might. It seems halibut is their feature fish, as there are ads for its nutritional value and posters for Alaskan Halibut posted prominently. Adding to their credibility is a review from the Toronto Star (though from 2004.)
I had the haddock & chips.
I wanted to have the experience suggested in the review from 2004, but I wasn’t that impressed. The chips were sort of warm when I got them home (something I thought about when I saw him ladling them from the chip shelf instead of fresh from the deep fryer… guess he was saving those for someone else.) The haddock was good, the batter could have coated the fish more consistently, however what was there was crispy. I ate it all, despite disappointing chips.
More on those chips. The chips lost them a star here. Is there anything less palatable than a tired, not hot enough, greasy chip? And they could have been thicker cut for my preference, in keeping with the English tradition.
I liked how they wrapped the fish & chips. Not newsprint, but newsprint paper — echoes of England and the fish & chips of my youth.
It wouldn’t take much to get this place up to a higher standard, but sorry to say my 1^st visit was not great. Also not impressed by the client coughing on and handling the ketchup packets at the front desk, though not the proprietors fault. Seedy as heck from the outside, but I liked that. Pull your socks up guys, you could be great!

I don’t get to visit this restaurant as often now that I live on the west coast, but I love how it is just as good as it always was whenever I return. The halibut is perfect — with melt-​in-​your-​mouth crunchy batter. I also rarely eat coleslaw when I go out for fish and chips but I really like it at New Toronto because it doesn’t have a mayo base. The service is always friendly and the prices are very reasonable for high quality fish. I also adore the retro décor. I just wish I lived closer so I could be a regular like so many of the people who eat here.
