I am in love. As someone who doesn't enjoy fish much, I find myself craving them days after my first visit.
Service is EXTREMELY slow, fish is fried on order and they have a long line of take out with limited staff.
After an epic wait, we finally got our fish and it was worth every second of waiting. To try more variety, we got all 3 fishes - halibut, haddock and cod.
Not a fan of the fishy taste myself, but I was absolutely in love with the cod. Batter was crisp and not too thick. Fish was silky and moist. It tasted fresh and very well balanced.
Haddock and halibut were a touch dryer but you definitely still love the freshness of the fish. The family verdict was Halibut, Cod, Haddock, but we would happily eat any of these.
Tartar sauce lacked a housemade flare, but the fish was good enough for you to look past the generic sauce.
Fries and salad weren't bad but nothing to write home about.
I want some more just writing this review...if only they have locations not in the suburbs! -

Came here on a Sunday with a friend around 3pm. We shared the family meal for 2 which was supposed to come with either haddock or cod, coleslaw and fries. They ran out of haddock so we got one piece of haddock and one piece of cod. The fish was really greasy and too much batter in my opinion but my friend thought it was fine.
This place is run by a Korean family and the whole time we were there, there was only one person taking orders and making the food. The gentleman was polite and nice but I think he was having a hard time keeping up with the take out orders and our table. We were one of the two tables in the small restaurant. We waited 20 minutes for our food and since the server was dealing with a take out order, we didn't get our coffee refilled until the end of the meal, which we didn't need anymore since I was so thirsty from the oiliness and grease from the meal.
The interior is very cozy but I do think they might need to hire one more person to take orders while someone is in the kitchen. -

Found hair in the batter, advised the waiter about it, I said I didn't need it to be redone (since I didn't want to wait for their already slow service), he apologized and said he would tell "them" (the chef I assume) about it.
During check-out the older gentleman at kitchen, possibly the chef/owner did not apologize, nor look us in the eye. I would give them another chance if a discount was offered on the bill.
The fish was mushy, fries were average, and they give very little tartar sauce. Will go back to Stouffville Fish and Chips down the street instead. -

This Stouffville Fish & Chips Joint is owned by a friendly Korean Family. It's a small diner style kinda place.
What we ordered:
Haddock Dinner (with salad, & chips) $10.95
The fish is really fresh, crispy and moist. The batter was very airy and light.The haddock was a fair size. Salad was ok and fries were ok too.
Captain George's Special $22.95
Halibut Fish with Scallops, Shrimps, Onion Rings, Salad & Chips. In my opinion I don't think this platter was worth it. There was more chips than seafood. There was only 2 small pieces of scallops, 3 pieces of shrimp, & 2 palm size halibut. But taste wise it was pretty good.
I would come back to try some other items they have. :) -

Simple sit-in and take-out place. Attracts a lot of local elderly residents.
Korean family owned. Very friendly folks. Provides a fairly welcoming environment.
Menu is simple and straight-forward. Food is not bad. Fried pretty well. However, IMO my Captain George's Special wasn't really worth the price for a platter of fries, onion rings, garden salad, two pcs of Halibut fish, two mini morceaus of scallop, and three pcs of shrimp. There was more salad than fries. Still...fairly tasty and a bit better than the competition across the street.
