It has a fairly wide ranging menu and the selection of oysters available was excellent and my companion enjoyed her choice of the Raspberry Point. Understanding this is not a primarily a fish & chip establishment I did, based on my experience from the UK, probably set the bar too high or this was a one off scenario. The haddock had the texture of a pre-frozen product and the batter unappetizing, thick and greasy. The chips were likely refried, thin, small and pre-salted which a previous reviewer on Trip Advisor also noted. The Coleslaw was DOA. Service was courteous and attentive although my dish took 20+ minutes to arrive but likely due to it being a busy time. I'm grading my dish 2 out of 5. However that being said I would and will likely return to sample another item. Reservations are recommended even at lunchtime to avoid sitting (comfortably) at the bar.

The Mermaid…read moreand the Oyster is a small, cozy spot--intimate in a way that makes you feel tucked into a neighbourhood gem. It was nearly full on a Sunday afternoon, so service moved a little slowly, but the staff stayed friendly and attentive. Appetizers: - PEI Mussels - Mermaid Chowder Mains: - Shrimp Roll - Lobster Grilled Cheese Dessert: - New York-Style Cheesecake The seafood was fresh and generously portioned. My shrimp roll was light, tangy, and surprisingly plentiful, and the chowder had a hearty amount of clams--comforting without being overly heavy. The lobster grilled cheese was rich and indulgent in the best way. We finished with a classic cheesecake that rounded out the meal nicely. Overall, a satisfying experience and a lovely little spot for seafood in Oakville. Would happily return to explore more of the menu.

I don't go to Hamilton often but when I do, I make sure visit the local Farmer's Market. Unlike…read moreother farmer's market, this market has only stands inside. Tucked among vast businesses is HT Fish, which as the name Sais, sells mainly seafood. Their seafood is always fresh and is at affordable prices that won't break your bank. I buy salmon and shrimps mostly but there are tons of varieties to choose. Owned by a very young and hard working couple, Yao and his wife (with now a baby) are always friendly, knowledgeable and serviceable. Their stand is located downstairs, right by the ramp. There are free side street parking if you are able to find it. If not, pay for parking.

He had some frozen bacon wrapped steaks all of different thicknesses. The man behind the counter was kind enough to put together three of similar thickness, so I took those.

They are the BEST butchers in Oakville, with the best employees. Everytime I come in, I feel SO welcomed, I have never felt the least bit intimidated or like I didn't belong. I've bought everything from meats to prepared pasta meals to lunch from Boffo's, and everything is amazing, everytime. I can't get over how decadent and high-end they feel, but how friendly and down to Earth they really are. If you like to eat, you will love Boffo's. Go today. And avoid Mean Girls references, they really drag you in...I WANT MY PINK SHIRT BACK!!

I purchased from their hot food counter which is basically a Chinese food restaurant. The food was actually tasty and relatively cheap... definitely an easy stop on the way home if you know dinner isn't made. On my second and third visits though... unfortunately the rude customer service staff at the front lost them a star. At bare minimum say hello, thank you or smile. Throwing my receipt at me and pointing instead of replying doesn't work for me, as they spoke to each other about their weekend plans. It's also always a bit difficult as well when the majority of staff throughout the store doesn't speak English. Not the end of the world... I did get many steps in trying to find items myself! Lol All in all though, when I'm in town this store will very likely be a stop every time. Pros: Location (Derry Road & Bronte in Milton) in an outdoor plaza, store layout, cleanliness, selection of items, hot food menu station & taste, prices Cons: Staff (they can work on that), parking can be tricky when they're busy
