Danny’s Fish & Chips

Best fish and chips place in town or should I say City now that Markham is a city.
The fish and chips place is unique and great because the fish is actually procured at the proper places. The halibut is procured in alaska making it now more expensive than normal due to currency exchange rates.
But the quality is assured.
The haddock is a cheaper option but as a jumbo only costs slightly more, the whole establishment is very cost friendly.
The fries here are better than mcdonalds due to it having a larger width.
What else can I say about fish and chips here eh!

I had a craving for Fish and Chips and did a google search for one close to me. Danny’s Fish & Chips came up and based on other reviews it seemed like a place which is worth the try. The person serving me did not come to my table once to ask how everything was or to refill my drink. I guess since its just a small place I shouldn’t expect restaurant service or anything. Which is ok.
I got the Halibut and chips. The fish was pretty small. I think the batter on fish and chips should be light and crispy. I also like the fish soft and melts in your mouth. Unfortunately this is not my experience. The batter was not to my liking and the fish was hard and chewy. The positives is that there was more than expected on their menu. They even had a few choices of desserts.

First time coming here! The service was pretty good, the server was very polite and always made sure everything was okay, but probably because there weren’t that many people there when we were there.
The food was pretty good. The batter was thick and crunchy, you can taste the distinct flavours and the texture of different fish. Fries were not bad either. I thought the tartar sauce taste a bit odd, because I think it’s homemade and not enough relish in it, because it almost taste like too much mayo. Besides that the actual fish and chips was good. I haven’t had the mashed green peas before and I enjoyed that a lot too. It feels like mashed potatoes except not as finely mashed and a different but similar taste.
Would definitely come back and try some other things on their menu because they have a large variety of fish with or without chips.

A friend and I went here the other night for fish and chips. We both really enjoyed our meal. The fish was soooo good. The portion size was reasonable and the quality was really good. We got fries and coleslaw too — I didn’t really like the fries that much, but my friend did. The coleslaw was really good too. I would definitely recommend this place — I can see why it’s been around for so long. We’ll definitely be back. The people there are really nice too.

Been coming here for years. A staple in Markham for great fish and chips! The fish is always fresh and the French fries are done just right!

At Danny, the seating is pretty beat up. The seat at the my table was damaged, for the entire dinner I only sit with one side of my butt… and one side of my butt was sore after the meal.
The food: i tried both haddock and halibut. Unfortunately, the batter for both fishes are not crispy enough (at least i tried better ones). The batter is slightly seasoned.
As for the fish itself, the haddock is moist, and the halibut has retained the firm texture. Therefore I give them a star for it.
Chips: a good fish and chips restaurant must be able to master both the fried fish and fries. I am not sure why, although the chips is fresh from the fryer, is not crisp at all…(trust me I can make better chips with my toaster oven at home).
It’s my first time here as the owner of Mr Fish and Chips on the other side of Kennedy Road has decided to retire and closed down. It’s a disappointed first time experience.
I have been searching for a good fish and chips restaurant for few weeks now… So far, the other one I tried in Mississauga — Jag’s Fish N Chips is the best one (in both value and quality) within the GTA.

Best in the area I have had so far. The halibut literally tasted like a chicken nugget. So. Fucking. Good. I’ll come back when my wallet isn’t so light haha !

Really didn’t have much to talk about…
The fish and chips was fair.
The seats weren’t that comfortable. At least not mine.
The attitude of the old dude, which I think is the owner, really wasn’t that good…
The one thing that I remembered the most was that… After i paid using my credit card… Not only did he not say thank you, but he also threw the receipt at me…
I was shocked.
So,… I won’t go again…

Excellent Halibut and chips at a reasonable price… with coleslaw $ 13.99, $ 12.99 without.
Coleslaw was way too vinegary. but still edible. Fish was moist and a decent size. Chips were standard fare, homemade, thick and good.
Service was super fast. we ordered and our food was out in about 5 minutes.
I would definitely go back if in the area.

Having had the haddock, Danny’s is better than Blue Nose and Halibut House in my opinion (comparing Markham fish and chips restaurants). It’s not anything superlative, but it was the only place out of the three that fried the fish enough to give it just the right about of crispiness and colour; Blue Nose and Halibut House were a bit on the lighter, softer side.
I’ve never had mushy peas before and it tastes exactly as you would expect mushy peas to taste. It could probably have used a little salt, but it’s an interesting thing (that I’ve since learned is a traditional side dish for fish and chips) and I kinda want more.
The restaurant and service are really only footnotes. You don’t come here for a fancy restaurant or amazing service. It’s really just about the food and I think it delivers.

Best fish and chips in town! Nice and crispy, consistent. Nothing much to ask for.

Pretty expensive when compared to another fish and chips place I’ve been to. It’s not bad though. The halibut is also smaller than the other place I’ve been to. The spicy option for the halibut was also pretty unique.

Cheap and cheery comfort food. Aside from the wait time (depending on how busy it is), you get rewarded with a generous portion especially when you go for their signature fish and chips. The all-​day breakfast looks enticing enough for the price and definitely intrigues me to go back there again to see how that goes.

Danny’s is the only place in Markham that does Fish ‘n’ Chips the best! Great food, reasonably priced, very friendly service… the owner has seen me there 3 times per month, so clearly he is doing something good :-) The décor may seem outdated but it adds to the authenticity.

I was looking for a fish & chips restaurant in Markham. I came onto Unilocal & a couple of other food review websites and they all gave Danny’s great reviews. I had to try it out for myself. They certainly did not disappoint and lived up to all of the great reviews! Love their halibut & fries and haddock & fries. My kids love it because they can have chicken tenders & fries when we order fish. Not greasy, fish is perfectly battered. LOVE their fries and coleslaw too. It is our go to place in Markham for fish & chips after trying out several places across Highway 7.

Small little diner style restaurant. Lots of parking.
I always go for the halibut and chips. Exactly how I like it. Nice light, crispy batter. Good chips. It’s the best that I have had in the area.

Definitely a must try in the area!
Danny’s is tucked away in a small plaza by Kennedy and Highway 7. With all the traffic on Highway 7 now I almost always try to avoid this plaza. You may have missed this small plaza before but there’s now a Dollarama here.
This is a true hidden gem in Markham. The halibut is really good and the fries portion is just right. The only downside is the small menu, but I get the same thing every time I’m here.
The tables are small here and will only fit small parties — for this reason I usually get takeout.

Tried every type of fish they had. White fish, haddock, halibut, and cod.
This is the best fish n chips I’ve had in Markham. So good we came here every weekend for 2 months straight. White fish & haddock was the best. Portion could be bigger — there just wasn’t enough fish to fill up my stomach.
Definitely try their soup of the day. I’ve had 3 different soups so far and they all impressed. Friendly staff and price is right. I wouldn’t order the coleslaw if I were you. unless you like super sour coleslaws.
Highly recommend!

The local fish and chips place in the area is somewhere that I’ll frequent a couple of times a year. It’s not the best fish and chips ever, but it’s nearby, cheap, fast and friendly.
The fish here is the superior of the halves here, because the batter is crispy and hot, and the fish is fresh and plentiful for the price. I’ve tried multiple varieties (catfish, tilapia, etc.), but I usually end up coming back to the halibut. The fries are OK. They’re big enough, plentiful and fresh cut, but they’re usually more on the greasier/​chewier side rather than fresh and crispy. Still very edible, just not top of the line (i.e. I usually won’t finish them).
Worth a stop if you’re in the area.

Decided to try the tilapia and chips they had on special. you get 2 strips of tilapia as oppose to the big filet of halibut.
service was just as good as usual however they forgot to give me tartar sauce this time for my takeout. mistakes happen we all make them, not a big deal but would’ve loved some.
If you’re willing to pay more, i’d go with the halibut.
