I'm not big on fish, and certainly not big on most types of shellfish. But when a special occasion…read morecalls for some good fish to be on the dinner table, I always seem to end up going to Hooked to procure seafood. To hell with industrialized canned, frozen and supermarket fish. At Hooked, they pride themselves in offering only fresh seafood that has been ethically sourced from sustainable stock. The level of detail is unlike most other places and makes for a unique experience. For example, you'll notice they note exactly where their products are from--"Halibut from Haida Gwaii, BC," as opposed to your usual supermarket variety "Product of Canada." Wonderful for those who really like to know where their food comes from. (Imagine if fashion stores took the same approach...) Hooked also prides itself on staffing its stores (they have a Kensington location as well) with chefs and folks with deep culinary experience. The folks here are patient, but always oozing with knowledge and advice to share. Tell them what you are planning to make or do and they'll suggest a fish from whatever is on offer and advice on how to make your meal. They don't make you feel intimidated at all. They'll probably even tell you a bedtime story about where their products come from. They'll often suggest and cut an appropriate amount for how many you'll be serving. Don't know how appropriate the amount really is, because we end up eating more than we should. Because that's how good their fish are. And their shrimp also. Those who think their dirt-cheap factory-farmed fed-with-crap shipped-frozen-en-masse Thai shrimp is good stuff don't even know what they are missing. Because, once you taste some big-ass wild-caught shrimp like that sold by Hooked, your tastebuds will be telling those tasteless supermarket shrimp to piss off. Because that's how good their shrimp are. I know they offer culinary classes and events here, as well as herbs, spices and sauces to go with your seafood. But most notably, you'll be reeled in by the degree of service you'll never get at most other seafood counters. Their stock will cost you an extra arm, but cheap food isn't cheap, and neither is good food. Quality is emphasized here much over low low prices. Come in and you'll get Hooked. {TTC: fish any Queen streetcar to Logan or Empire Aves.}

This is a review for the seafood market (separate from their restaurant). I was thoroughly…read moresurprised coming in here of the vast selection! They had fish from all over, cavier, and accompanying foods like crackers, olive oils, and more! They had a bunch of free samples when I was there (olive oil with fresh bread, chips, etc.) pricing seemed quite fair and the fish better quality than the grocery store! I purchased a mackerel and some cheap cavier (not the real stuff but they do sell that for $89 if you want it). When I got to the till, the lady on checkout advised they have a complementary fish cleaning service! What a bonus! Overall I was very happy with what I made for dinner and I will be returning for some more fish in the future!

You pick your oysters first then pay for your order. Opted for half a dozen + a fresh uni that was only $6! The uni was such a steal! After paying, my order was ready, shucked pretty quickly, and sat down to enjoy. They have a variety of communal sauces that you can use, like cocktail, horseradish, red wine mignonette, and more. The seafood was fresh and delicious to eat on the spot. Worth every penny!

They are readily available from Bloor&Dundas via the West Toronto rail path. They have a pretty good fish, almost as if it is a fisherman's market. The only problem I've ever really had came when I ordered boneless skinless salmon, the lady didn't speak the best English, so I tried out my Portuguese, which is a bit rusty given I haven't used it in years, regardless, I got home to find a skinless bone-in salmon. which leads me to advise anyone reading this to check their fish, to ensure it is in the condition they want, regardless of how tired you might be, It will save you the time it cost me in preparation.

Lobsters were mainly in coma. ;) The floor was wet and slippery as you walked in. With this pricing, you can easily find a lot of good choices in Scarborough better than this, even from other Asian markets that carry seafood these days. Not recommended.

Was looking for a lobster for Thanksgiving dinner…read more Once in the store, we were surrounded by all the different tanks full or live lobsters - I had no idea what I was supposed to do first. What size should I buy for two? What is the best one for simple steaming? Where is what I am looking for? What is the difference among these different tanks? A gentleman who was working here caught me and answered all these questions, and located a perfect size, super lively lobster suitable for steaming! He was knowledgeable about different cooking options, and as soon as he knows we are Japanese, he showed me different sashimi grade seafood and handling tips. We bought - A live lobster (1.5lb) about $30 - 6 sashimi grade shrimps $ less than 10 He was so kind to make sure all the shrimps are the same size. Sashimi was beautiful, fresh and naturally sweet, melt on the tongue. I deep-fried the shrimp head and tail as the gentleman suggested - crispy, thin! And lobster was full of meat, juicy and perfect size for two of us. Full! Yum!! Cant wait to go back again!!!!
