I was in a rush when I picked up the takeout order because of expired parking. The snapper meal was pretty food, cost $13.99 as a special or the day but I didn't realize I was charged $12 for a side soup until I got I to the car and ready to drive off.
Uassuming little shop with a couple of seats outdoors in the form of tables and bar style seating. Salmon was recommended when we asked for something good for tacos, and we were very happy we listened. Tacos come as an order of 4 instead of the typical 3. The salmon was very well cooked, pan fried and not dry at all. No slaw or salsa, the salmon sat on some lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes in a flour tortilla. Like other reviewers mentioned, the fish and even the food itself felt very fresh. It was almost like eating a salmon salad. The highlight was definitely the sauce that came with the tacos. Tasted like a miso, soy and sesame dressing, and went really well over the tacos with a bit of lemon.
Tastes so fresh and so delicious! They have some daily specials. This meal was super light and filling at the same time! Def coming back to try other things on the menu. This was too good.
Solid healthy and well seasoned fish sandwiches. Wish the patio was nicer though. Had the halibut sandwich and it was nice sized and delicious.
I love Fish! I love Grilled Fish! I love Grouper and I was lucky enough to come to The Fish Store for a late lunch when they have Grouper as the Catch of the Day! Sweet! Grilled Grouper Sandwich ($7.30) tasted so good... so refreshing.... so healthy tasting.........munching munching munching....... Homemade Lemonade ($2.65) can be a tad too sweet, but you can always order it half sweetened.... BTW, I love freshly squeezed lemonade too! I love the small business homey vibe! This place makes me feel like I am in a food stand at a fishing village eating the catch of the day! PS it is a sin to deep fried fresh fish!! On my lucky day, the weather is nice and sunny... I can enjoy my sandwich on the patio.... i would not have come on a rainy day.. where am I going to eat my sandwich?? I am feeling all the love! I will be back for more on another nice sunny day!!!
I can't believe it took me so long to finally try this place, but I sure am glad I did! The Fish Store has been around for a while and they serve quality fish dishes with fresh ingredients (you can actually see the raw fish on ice). If you are in Little Italy and looking for something fast, yet healthy, this is your best option. Most of the other places around here are shawarma/pizza/burrito places. They have a variety of different kinds of fish including some really fancy ones like black cod. For any fish, they grill it fresh to order and you can have it as a sandwich, salad, burrito, or over rice. They don't overseason it, so you can really taste the flavour of the fish. I had the haddock salad ($9.99) and it came over a huge portion of mixed romaine and baby spinach with lots of veggies. In addition to fish, they have soups and cold drinks. Be sure to check out the daily special too! The staff are really friendly. Not much seating area, especially in the winter once the patio is closed, just 2 small tables. Most people get take-out. On a Friday night after work when I went, it was very busy! Seems like there are lots of regulars. There are so many fish & chips places in the city, but for anyone who wants fast fresh fish without all the grease, this place can't be beat! Prices are very reasonable too! I'm a fan! NB: Cash only!
I'm solely going to base my rating on the fish alone since it's called the fish store. I've been eyeing this place ever since I was a kid but I always thought why would I order fish outside. I'm more of a meat guy when it comes to restaurants asides from sushi, of course. But recently I've been intrigued by the idea of fish sandwiches so I knew this was the place to come to. And there's no doubt, this place really knows what they're doing with their fish. I got a salmon sandwich ($12), it was seasoned a sort of light, mediterranean style. Every piece of salmon was perfectly cooked, sort of medium rare, juicy, not over cooked and well seasoned. As you can see from the photo, the sandwich was overflowing with fish. And I'm sure that they would cook any other fish just as well. But for the sandwich I would say it needs improvement. The sandwich bun is perfect, toasted, light but crispy exterior. But the sandwich lacks a sauce. It feels like it gets kinda dry half way through and I think spring mix is the laziest choice for vegetables in a sandwich and absolutely despise it. Luckily there are other options like tacos, rice etc.
I thought about giving this a 4, but it really does deserve the 5. Were there things that could have been better? Sure. But I got bang for my buck and service was outstanding. I ordered the fish burger, which was $4.99 + tax. It was more a fish sandwich than a burger, given that it was a grouper fillet, and not a patty. I'd rather it as a sandwich. More fish for me! The bun to grouper ratio was decent. There was lettuce, tomato, and processed cheese on my burger as well, which was surprisingly generous of them. To my recollection, there was no sauce, but it didn't need sauce. The grouper was cooked to order, the bun was toasted, and because the bun and grouper were hot, the cheese was melty. The grouper was very juicy, and seasoned just right. It was definitely the star of the show. I'm guessing this is mostly a takeout place. There's one table for two inside, but the store itself is awkwardly shaped and it's difficult to get in and out of if someone else is standing inside. They do have a table or two outside in their tiny patio, but it was raining that day, so I didn't want to eat outside. I was waiting inside, sitting on a stool. When my order was ready, the owner told me to sit, moved a table over for me, and moved a chair from outside in so I could sit inside. It was incredibly kind of him, especially because I said he really didn't have to do that for me. If you like fish sandwiches, this is a great one for a fantastic price. I highly recommend it.
This place was great for a quick bite! Got the clam chowder (this was more like a potato soup with pieces of clam, good, but necessarily a chowder), and perfectly cooked fish in fish tacos with nice sauce pairing (that gave it a very Asian flavour). You get to pick what kind of fish you want in the taco, and it's perfectly cooked. Not the largest portions of fish. Service is prompt, and they provide after-food gum for no fish breath! BRING CASH!
It hits the spot. It's fresh. It's clean. It's fast and good and cheap. Worth trying at least once for all of you who have passed this place multiple times and wondered.
The ideal place if you're looking for a light, healthy meal (which can be impossible to find in downtown these days!) I'm so happy to have found this place! Although I'm not the biggest fish fanatic, I may have changed my mind after this meal. Both my boyfriend and I ordered the fish on rice (I ordered wild salmon, and he had the grouper, which was the daily special). We had to get the avocado as well. What really amazed me was the bed of fish behind the cash register that is cooked especially for your order. No frozen fish or that nonsense. The fish came very quickly to our table. My first impression was how nicely the meal was platted and how adorable the colours blended together. It came with a side sauce that looks suspicious but tasted sweet and vinegary and sesame-ey (bomb). The salmon that I had tasted fresh, flavourful but not overpowering. I had a bite of the grouper and it had the smoothest texture! The purple brown rice was an excellent touch as well, something you only find in traditional korean restaurants, but fitted perfectly with the rest of the meal. I must say that other than the asparagus, the other vegetables are completely unseasoned, which is FINE. Just a heads up. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and would definitely come back for the fish tacos and sandwiches.
I should start by saying that I lived down the street from the Fish Store for 8 years and due to my general lack of desire to eat fish, didn't start eating there until my last 3 years... and that was a huge mistake. I luckily still work down the street and go to the Fish Store at minimum once a week for lunch. Everyone on here seems to love the sandwich or the burrito, but I assure you the fish meal is the greatest thing of all time. The perfectly cooked fish over perfectly cooked brown rice, topped with the amazing sesame fish sauce and a bit of hot sauce is the greatest thing ever. Add to that a slew of different fresh veggies (currently cucumber, broccoli, asparagus, tomato, {avocado +$1.50} and olives) and you've got a fish meal that can't be found anywhere else. For take out, call ahead and by the time you arrive, if it isn't ready, they'll push your order to the front (because they appreciate the call ahead order). Also, don't forget to ask what the special is, because if you aren't that picky on your type of fish, then it'll save you a few bucks. In the summer there is space to eat outside, but otherwise it's really tight to eat inside. Also, in the summer get the lemonade... it's fresh squeezed and delicious. If you fancy a soup, get the butternut squash, it's unreal and somehow they don't use cream to make it. Eat here, you'll never regret it. I now eat fish regularly because of this place. (Also, note that for one week a year they shut down for family vacation... like fully shut down. This place is the definition of family run and they love what they do, so usually in Jan or Feb they close it down for a week of family vacation)
Guys, Don't leave Toronto without stopping here. I was walking down College St. when I stumbled onto this gem. Seeing all the fresh fish laid out on a blanket of ice, I eagerly placed my order for the 'fish special' sandwich (grouper). As I pulled out my credit card I noticed the cash only sign. My heart sunk. It was my second to last day in Toronto and I hadn't withdrawn any more cash. I moved into the next restaurant that evening. The next day I still had the Fish Store on my mind. I ran a few errands and then immediately went to the bank to withdraw cash. Upon arriving at the Fish Store I ordered the rainbow trout sandwich. The special was tilapia so it appears they change the fish daily. I'm my mind I imagine the couple working the store fishing in the mornings to sell their catches throughout the day. Anyhow back to the trout sandwich. It came on a buttery roll with tomatoes cucumbers and a lemony sauce. Healthy, fresh and a nice price ($11) for a seafood sandwich. Seating is limited to an outside patio that is covered for those rainy days. The inside is where the magic happens.

I came here to try the shrimp burger $8.99 and clam chowder $7.99. Both were tasty and fresh, I liked the shrimp burger more. The portion of seafood was smaller and I think it's better to order something on their regular menu ie. their fish sandwich or a salad/rice bowl. Ill definitely do that next time and think if I had this would be an easy 5 stars. Service is friendly. Everything is cooked fresh to order. You can see the display of fish in the store. There are a few small tables for seating outside. read more

A hidden gem of a spot run by some Korean peeps so you know it's gonna be good. BF and I ordered a black cod sandwich and they do not hold back with the fish portions here. The black cod was so buttery and crisp on the outside MMM HMMM. I would get the black cod again and try it on rice but it was definitely worth $22. read more

First off the owner and his family were super kind, I got the article char, never tried this fish before, I got it in a sandwich. If you are looking for something healthy and fresh this place is the place to go, the ambiance they have seating outside, excellent service, fish was cooked perfectly, big portion, loved the artichoke char paired with the avocado gives a creamy taste. I want to come back here and try their other amazing dishes, very well done and super fresh, this was just spontaneous I found out about this place but I'm glad that I did. read more

My kinda EATS! It's the place that you want to keep secret! Fresh fish, grilled and smothered in balsamic and fresh herbs, nestled in a fresh made bun and served with lettuce, tomato and avocado or hot sauce if you wish. I think the secret is in the herbs and balsamic... SO GOOD! Totally unassuming, fantastically delicious... Don't tell anyone else but this place is special! read more
Yelp steered me here tonight, after reading all the absolutely fab reviews I thought I was in for a real treat. I tried the grouper burrito (about 5oz of grilled grouper put into a whole wheat wrap with some lettuce, tomato and lemon seasoning) for $6.50 plus tax. My friend had the $3.99 grouper burger (about 3oz of grouper in a hamburger bun with lettuce, tomato) It was good - but to be honest I'm surprised it wasn't better, based on all the fab reviews here. Yes, it's fairly cheap, but the serving size wasn't big enough to fully satisfy me. Now that it's summer, they have a patio which seats around 10-12 people. Inside is tiny, not much room to linger there. read more
I had been meaning to go here for a long time, but I have a girlfriend who is very particular/doesn't like seafood. Pretty good spot to grab a good meal in the area for 10 bucks or less. All the ingredients seem fresh. The bun was amazingly soft and might have been my favourite part of the sandwich. I had the catfish sandwich. Catfish being the special at the time. I think they specialise in bottom feeder (cheaper) fish, but do it well! The catfish definitely had some seasoning to it. I also dared to try some of their BBQ sauce on it. And I liked it... The sauce was sweet and spicy. read more
I love fish, especially fresh fish that is cooked perfectly. That's exactly what you'll get when you come to this tiny mom and pop shop. After having a few bites at another restaurant on College, my friend and I decided to try The Fish Store & Sandwiches. We only had room for something small, so we decided to share an order of Arctic Char fish tacos. Each of the four tacos was filled with two chunky pieces of fish that was well-seasoned and cooked to perfection, along with some lettuce and red onions. (It was our first time trying Arctic Char, and we both felt it tastes similar to salmon but lighter, less fishy.) The tacos came with a sauce that tasted a lot like that gingery, vinegary salad dressing you get at Japanese restaurants plus sesame oil. It was pretty good and it made the fish tacos that much better. The shop itself is very small. But you can see a display of all the fish available behind the counter (for food order and for sale, like any other fish market). I am looking forward to my next visit to The Fish Shop & Sandwiches so I can try their fish sandwiches. They look delicious..! read more
A fish store, smack dabbed in the middle of Little Italy - that I found intriguing. I've found myself passing by this quaint lil' mom & pop joint, a lot in the past year, and finally decided to check it out. In all the times I've past by, they've always been super busy. That's a good sign, right? Don't get me wrong - food wasn't bad. But I expected much more. We ordered the grouper fish burger and Haddock tacos. The fish portions were tiny, kinda cold & generally under-seasoned. In the middle of the small seating area, were two bins for trash, and one for dirty dishes. It was just left on the floor to sit, with flies hanging around. One day we'll be back to chance the claim chowder & sandwiches, but meh. read more
It's fresh. So fresh that I'm sure if the fish's head was still on, it would be winking at you :) I love this place for a few reasons. For one, it's a mom and pop shop, and I like supporting small businesses. Also, the quality of their dishes is 5 star. Every single item that goes into their Sandwiches, Salads, Tacos, Soups, etc. is well thought out, and sourced based on quality. The last time I was here I had the Arctic Char Salad, and it was exquisite. Light and fresh, with a great lemony vinaigrette. Truly, this is food you can feel good about eating. I would be bold to say that the Sandwich is their best seller. I've had it on numerous occasions with different types of fish, and have been very satisfied each time. The success of this sandwich has a lot to do with the fresh fish, and also this perfect bread that they source from a Portuguese Bakery. It's crusty on the outside, and squishy on the inside, just the way I like it. I was there one time when they were just about to close, and the owners were telling me that bread that's not used on the same day is turned into breadcrumbs for other preparations. That in itself demonstrated to me how committed they are to quality. Fish lovers will dig this place. Non-Fish eaters will come here with apprehension, and leave wondering why they ever denounced Salmon. It's a win-win for all! read more

I had arrived to The Fish Store during the time Little Italy was occuring. I am a huge fan of crispy battered fish served in corn tortillas, so ordered the fish tacos. Looking at the menu picture, the fish was not deep fried, and the tortillas were not corn, but in fact the usual flour tortillas. The fish of the day was wild salmon, and at first I thought this would be a strange choice for a fish taco, you never can go wrong with the freshest fish available. The service was quick and friendly. After paying the expensive price of $11 for the four fish tacos, I was delightfully surprised by the flavour. Not only was the salmon moist and flavoured nicely, the wasabi miso sauce served alongside it only enhanced the fish tacos taste. The blanket of crisp leafy green vegetables with the tomatoes and cucumber just made everything served on the plate taste great. Amazing overall, just a little pricey at almost $3 a taco read more

Amazing! Wish there was one in NYC. The service is awesome. It takes about 3 mins for them to cook your order from scratch. Hard to believe but it is an open kitchen so you see them doing it. The Wild Salmon I had was awesome. I followed it up with a shrimp burger and that was great too. I'm in Toronto for 2 more days and I'll be coming here on each one to try as many different kinds of fish as possible read more

Shrimp burrito with avocado. Salmon salad with avocado. Salad-salmon has some bones, small to medium size. Salmon seems a bit dry and might not be so fresh. Salad without fish is tasty. Salmon might not be the best choice for salad. Overall both dishes 7.5 out of 10 Shrimp burger was simple, tasty but not a shocker. 5/10 Tacos with grouper fish was average. If you up for some tacos, look somewhere else. They are big, but again not a shocker. 4/10 read more

Despite having read some reviews, the size of this place (or lack thereof) took me by surprise. There's only one two-person table inside but there are four tables and a few bar stools out in the open. I'm sure it's nice in pleasant weather. The sandwich was made fresh, and it had more of a kick than most fish (tacos, sandwiches, burritos) I've had. The fish sandwich is served in a small sub roll with a generous serving of fish on a bed of lettuce, tomatoes and onions and a hint of cilantro. The table had the standard salt/pepper shaker with a small bottle of Tabasco but none of these were necessary. Fish Sandwich/Burrito/Salad prices vary from $6.50 for the daily special fish to $10 for the sea bass (see photo). The Fish Burger is $4 but (obviously) doesn't have as much protein as the sandwich. All in all, color me unimpressed; not disappointed, nor unwilling to ever go again. read more
I'm giving The Fish Store & Sandwiches 5 star because they are superb at what they do, and their fishes are super fresh and tasty! This place is really small and all they have is pretty much patio seating, but the food is so good I don't mind the limited seats. read more

(3.5 stars) I'm a fan of seafood and I love fish. I've heard about how good the Fish store and sandwiches was and I wanted to come here for along time. I knew that the store was small but I didn't realize how really small it was. It is very small. There were only two small tables that were cramped into each other at the right corner of the store in front of the cash register. They also have an open space outside, a patio that can accommodate few more tables in summer. I wish I was here when it wasn't cold like today. Food wasn't bad but it wasn't tasty that I expected. Maybe my expectation was too high after reading many good reviews. We ordered the Fish of the day "Grouper" with brown rice, added on avocado $1.25. The price was good because we chose the fish of the day for the dish. We also ordered a Halibut sandwich. My husband said it was very good but it was a bit pricey because it was halibut! Haha :D I saw they had soup so I decide to try Clam chowder. It was good even though the seafood inside was little hard. However, it was good for the price $3.99. I kinda like it. Overall it was ok except the portion of the fish was a bit smaller than I thought. I think it's better for doing take-out, not for dine-in though. If you're in the area, it's not a bad idea to order for take-home. P.S. I gave this place 3.5 stars for the overall experience, not only the food. If they had a bigger place for dine-in and were more attentive to customers, I would have given them 4 stars. Don't get me wrong. They look friendly but I felt that the service left much to be desired. read more
**3.5** Before all the Fish Store lovers hate on me, let me just say the fish here is amazing! It tastes great! My issue is with the size of the place and the quantity of fish. Mr. H had the wild salmon and I had the grouper fish both were cooked really well. Loved the food but I wish I had more quantity of fish (Mr.H said that I could have paid extra for it but I didn't see the sign the says so anywhere) My rice plate consisted of brown rice, some sliced tomatoes, cucumbers and broccoli, along with some olives. I got avocado for a dollar extra. Overall I would love to try this place again and maybe I'll give the sandwich version a try. read more
What a delightful place on College St. This place is easy to get to with local parking around most of the blocks in this neighborhood. It is a hole in the wall type of place where they have only 2 tables and 2 seats at each table. They also have a stool table for people to eat outside. CHEAP - $5 something for FRESH fish burritos that is incredible. Very heatlhy ingredients, and friendly service. You can choose from a number of different fish they offer for the day. (Tuna, Salmon, Arctic Cod, Halibut,..... ) When I went, I ordered the Arctic Cod. It was my first time eating that type of fish and it was truly amazing. It tasted like salmon, but more natural goodness of flavor from that type of fish.. I would recommend this place if u like fish =) read more

Food **** Service *** Ambiance **** (in summer) Outdoor seafood takeout style spot. Great fish selection lightly seasoned and cooked just right. Tried the halibut, salmon and grouper. All great and well worth the $11 it costs. Definitely recommended during the summer or better weather for a patio meal or takeout. read more

GF was craving something light for lunch so we decided to pop by. First let me say I don't normally like eating fish unless it's battered and deep fried but this was great! This is a small place with only 2 tables but would be perfect for a summer day. Upon entering you're greeted with fresh fish laid out on a bed of ice. You actually get to see what your piece of fish looks like! Choose between sandwich, wrap, salad or dinner, grab a seat and just wipe the drool from your mouth as you smell them cook up your meal! I had the halibut and the GF had the Artic Char both were flavorful and moist. Only thing I would change, and this is more of a personal preference, is less 'sauce' as it was a little bit too vinegary for me but nonetheless a great meal. read more
