Review from Jennifer K.
Markham, ON
I want my Lunch Specials!!
I placed my order for the Halibut Wrap/fries with pop ($7.95) at 12 pm or so on a Wednesday and the nice waitress inform me they were sold out! At 12 pm???
Since I really want to have some deep fried oily fish for lunch so I stuck with ordering
Halibut with chips ($10.95)
- The fish though small but was nicely done.. lightly breaded and deep fried to light golden brown. The fish itself was moist and fresh
- I will skip the fries next time... nothing really specials..
50 cents extra for tartar sauce? that little tiny thing cost 50 cents? I think with the prices they charging they should just give the extra sauce for free!
Waitress was nice and efficient but can be a little pushy? She reminds me of someone's mother.. and I was told to be a good girl and finish all my food... :)Listed in: Lunch Specials in Markham!, Fish and Chips!

I can't give half star ratings, but I would give Blue Nose a 3.5 stars. I've eaten here just a handful of times (dine-in), and for the most part the food is good. The last time I was there i was with my husband and 3 month old son (he was in his car seat). The booth we were seated at by the window had just enough room to put the car seat in next to me. I had the halibut and chips. My husband had the coleslaw, chicken souvlaki on pita, and added fried clams. My halibut was moist and crispy, but breaking it open with my fork squeezed out a noticeable amount of oil. The fries were decent, not a favorite though. I had to pay $0.50 for an extra tartar sauce, which comes in those tiny little plastic sauce containers. For such a big piece of fish, the 1:1 fish-to-tartar-sauce ratio doesn't quite work out. Seems to me they should just keep the tartar sauce in a squeeze bottle on the table for customers to help themselves - no more charging $0.50 for extra sauce, not to mention all those little containers they will save from going to the landfill.
My husband's coleslaw dressing is cream based, compared to Danny's Fish & Chips which is a vinegar dressing. His chicken souvlaki was good, he said, but the fried clams were a disappointment. They were the strangest looking clams we've ever seen. They looked more like fried mealworms than clams. Somewhere in that string of batter was a tiny piece of clam.
The dine-in service is decent there. Our waitress (Corrina I think was her name) was friendly and efficient. They have their crowd of regulars, based on the first name greetings heard around the dining room. Their takeout lineup gets insanely busy at the dinner rush (we were there on a Friday night), so be prepared to stand a while. I find the lady at the cash always to be "efficiently indifferent" - I've never seen her smile at her customers or greet them with a genuinely warm "hello". Just place your order, give her your money, and move aside. I'm sure she's friendly with her regulars, but I'm not one of them.
Overall, Blue Nose is ok. I would go back only because I live so close by, and with an infant, close proximity is important. -

Pricier than Vinnie's Fish & Chips in Vaughan.
The waitress was friendly and witty.
It could have been a pleasant fish and chips with coleslaw lunch. But, the balding man in his 40's cooking my lunch was mouthy and rude towards his staff. Because of him, I will not return. -

Get the specials or fish n chips.
Not the clams, such a small order!
We are in Markham after all, seafood way better out when I visited west coast Canada. -

Great fish and chips spot in Markham. Can't decide whose is better, Blue nose or Danny's Fish and Chips.
Clean restaurant, very sociable and polite owners, good food.
Price is a little expensive, but the fish is always tender and juicy.
They just relocated to the unit right beside its old one where the donut shop used to be, and in their old unit will be a village ice cream. I think they are focussing more on dine-in customers now.
Overall no complaints about this place.
