Highly enjoyable but quite expensive. Their homemade coleslaw is awesome and they also have homemade tartar sauce that is great as well. Not too greasy like someplaces and the portions are well sized.

The fish and chips are just meh to a little above average. The batter was crispy and stuck onto the fish very well which is hard for some places to do. I ordered the Halibut and found the portion to be quite small. Maybe it was just my order but I found my fish to be a little dry when cutting it up. The fries tasted cheap like it came in a bulk package. I ordered onion rings which turned out to be more like onion peels. If you love onions, then the onion rings is a must get. It comes 6 – 7 peels of onion on a stick/skewer that is battered and deep fried. The coleslaw was kind of creamy and just meh. The service was horrible here. After I walked in, I had to wait a whole 3 minute for someone to greet me or acknowledge I was there. It could’ve been because I went during the lunch rush that the ladies seem a bit flustered with everything. I had to ask for a refill of water and ask for bread and ask for them to take my order. For the price I paid, I rather go somewhere else. I won’t be coming back here anymore.

the place is very clean. the fish i had was very fresh and the batter was very crispy. we also ordered the chicken pie which was good but the pie was taken out of the fridge in front of us and taken to the cook to be heated up. nothing special about the pie, a bit expensive in my opinion. it cost more than the fish. chips, fish and whatever has to be ordered separately. we did get free slices of brown bread with butter on the side. i just wish that they give a bit more on the plate than just a fish. weird.

The fish and chips served here are probably the best in Toronto. High praise I know, their fish is fresh, and prepared in a light batter. The closest I have come to finding battered fish similar to that found in the UK. It is the chips(fries) that really separate this place from the crowd. The taste and cut of them is almost identical to that of many a hole in the wall chippy in the North of England. Thick and crispy, an absolute dream to behold. Having been here a few times and enjoying the staple haddock and chips I ventured out to some of the other items on the menu. Their meat pies are exceptional. If a little expensive, they are worth every penny. Generous meat filling, bathing in perfectly prepared gravy make for one very happy customer. One menu item that blew me away was the deep fried haggis. A little skeptical at first of the merits of deep fried sheep organs, I was converted to a haggis lover in an instant. I don’t even look at the menu any more. I just go straight to the haggis every time. It is perfect and I wouldn’t change a thing about it.

Colleagues and I came here for lunch. Fish and chips Fridays. Their halibut and chips are excellent. Next time, I will take a picture of my fish halfway eaten to show how well the batter stays attached to the fish. It remains crunchy, with a well cooked fish, not over fried, in nice clean oil. My colleague and I eat fish with a dash of pepper, a squeeze of lemon and some malt vinegar. The batter is so, so excellent. My halibut didn’t fall apart one bit after I added the lemon and malt. Delicious. Ate my fish and chips with a pint of ale. 4.5 out of 5 stars

Great quality food and a nice, variable menu. Service is friendly and the atmosphere is pleasant. My only complaints are the hours(8p.m. closing time is too early) and the bread is terrible(it’s literally store bought Wonderbread). More effort should be made to bake fresh bread.

Have been to Highstreet several times over the past few years. Fish and chips have always been good as has the service. On my last visit they had Mahi Mahi which I loved! Overall still one of the better and consistently good fish and chip joints in the city. Establishment clean and well kept. My only slight disappointment this time was the price increase across the board.

Excellent fish place. Went there last night for the first time. Good pricing, good serving size, excellent tartar sauce. Area to improve: service– I had to ask for someone to take order, had to ask for bread, and had to ask for a water refill.

This place is not bad. Decent fish and chips. Kinda old school in terms of atmosphere and service. But not a bad choice if you are in the mood for fried foods.

Great fish and chips and home made pies. We order 3 types of fish — Haddock, Cod and Halibut. All tasted great with soft and flakey fish inside the light and non-greasy batter. We had the steak and mushroom pie. We all liked it and finished it in less than 5 minutes. Also had the steak and kidney pie. I think it tastes good but my family are not fans for kidneys so more for me. We bought home 3 other pies — Chicken, Minced beef and Steak and Ale. All very good and the chicken pie was delicious! Service was great. Just keep in mind that they close at 8pm so plan to go there for an early dinner.

Very good quality. The owner was originally frank mcnies who had a very successful fish and chips shop in etobicoke. The tradition continues here. All popular fishes represented here, comes piping hot to the table, and they fry in unsaturated oil only so heart healthy. A bit expensive for halibut but other fishes are average priced. Also many other menu items like meat pies and tattie scones. Nice light batter.

This place is great for fish and chips. My family lives in the area and we come here as often as possible. The hours are the only reason we can’t get there as much as we want. Portions are great, fish is juicy and batter is neither too thick or greasy. We loooove their tattie scones(I think that’s wat they’re called) and onion things! Keep up the good work! We’ll def be back!

Reviewers were right… this is the best place i have ever been to for fish n chips. Batter was right, fries were good and most important, the fish was big. You do get a very generous size fish when you order haddock n chips. The size of the fish is like a size 7 in shoes size. Can’t really think of another way to describe it at the moment. Chips are more than enough as well. The only thing missing is a side of coleslaw. I always thought fish n chips would come with coleslaw but this place didn’t. It did come with bread and butter. We also ordered the clam strips. Nothin really exciting here. Not bad and not great. Price for two dinners came out to be $ 24. Will i come back… yes. If in the area, would definitely come back.

WHAT? This place is awesome. The best halibut and chips in the city I have tried yet, and I’ve lived in Toronto for over 30 years(staff is also super friendly and deserve a raise no matter how much they’re making). This is the spot, no matter what part of the city you live in, it’s worth a visit for sure. Not sure why they close so early, but I think 9pm or 10pm would be more acceptable even for the family crowd who like to eat a little later on weekends. Still, the food is so amazing and fresh, I still give this place FIVESTARSALLDAY, SON! *****

Found this place by chance on Unilocal and I’m really glad I tried it! They have some of the best halibut fish & chips I’ve ever tasted, really flaky and not slimy like what you usually get at other places. I tried my boyfriend’s steak & ale pie… tasty tender beef chunks and really good pie crust. The only thing I didn’t enjoy as much were the tattie scones(basically fried mashed potato triangles) which I substituted in place of fries. They were bland in comparison to everything else and lacked potato flavour. I also wish the portion of tartar sauce was just a bit bigger. Although the booths are a tight squeeze for four adults, the atmosphere is really cute and cozy and everything is neat and tidy. Edit: I think the menu said we were supposed to get bread with our meal but we never did…

I went the first week they opened, lived nearby everything was always great. Thought they were the best since Duckworth s. The Mcnies owned it. Wife always friendly, I was at least a once a week regular. Moved and hadn’t been for a while(3 years) Went last Friday it was OK but not quite the same. I asked the server and was told the original owners had sold. Before it would be worth a drive I thought it used to be 5 stars now just 3. I live in the west end now. So Kingsway Fish and chips is my go to spot now.

If you want really good fish and chips, then High Street is the place for you. High Street is a small but brightly decorated restaurant where almost all the local people flock too, especially if you’re from the British Isles. High Street is more that the average fish and chip place, they have so much more to offer, hence the name High Street Fish, Chips and… Come here and try something different, perhaps a Melton Mowbray(pork pie), or have the tatty scones instead of chips or one of the delicious meat pies. If dessert is you thing, then I highly recommend the sticky toffee pudding. I think I’ve said enough, get out here and try it for yourself, but come early because they close a 8pm.

Decided to try out the fish and chips at this place one day while driving around aimlessly with the ever so hungry boyfriend and I. We saw the sign quite appealing as we were both quite famished so we headed inside and were greeted by a lovely lady who told us to take a seat. My bf and I scope out the menu for a couple minutes and decide on traditional fish and chips. The way they were cooked was pretty mediocre and according to the price of course we could see why. Nonetheless the atmosphere was pretty casual and not a terrible experience so I would rate this place a 4⁄5 and wouldn’t mind coming here again

Took my mother, mother-in-law, wife and 16 year old son. Went«early» at 5:45 on a Saturday and there was already a line up — but it moved quickly. I grew up in this neighbourhood and it seems that the people around my parents age love this place. Food was good, waitress a little funny steering us certain ways(We have Guinness, but not on tap. And not the good cans with the widget, just the bottle…) but at least she was honest! Food was very good and satisfied all ages.

Walking into High Street Fish and Chips on this Saturday for an early dinner made me wondering if I am in Toronto anymore… I stood out like a sore thumb walking in to have my dinner alone and as Asian in a sea of mature English diners Halibut with Chips($ 12.95) — the batter is really light and deep fried to perfect crispiness! Golden crispy… really fresh frying oil! — yes it is oily… hey it is deep fried in oil but it is worth the extra calories! and deep frying fish is not as bad as chicken with skin in term of fat content — Chips are not bad. but quite standard… at least they are fresh, made to order! Services here were fast and friendly! The deco is mostly white and super cute! Seems like the meat pies are their specialities. either fresh or frozen to be sell alone or as a dozen! By the time I was ready to leave, there was a line up for tables! And it was only 6PM, I guess people have dinner early here! :P Closed Sundays and Mondays!
