I think like most people, I'm not a fan of fish. I'm not one to say "Man, I could so good from some salmon right now". However, I have a number of friends that do say that. SO I asked them if I were to go anywhere in the city to get fish where would it be? 2/3 people said I should go to Buster's Sea Cove. So the next time I was at St Lawrence Market I decided to give it a shot.
For the first time in my life, I crave fish. I loved their crab cake sandwich. It was prefect! Not to mention the coleslaw that you get with it. This place is a total winner. If you are one to never consider seafood, you should reconsider.
If you were in the area like me and in the area please give it a try. You won't regret it. -

I went to Buster for the first time just before the summer, on a friend's recommendation. He said I HAD to try the swordfish sandwich. I usually don't really like fish sandwiches but he was so insistent I just gave in. I'm so so happy I did.
I brought a friend who was visiting from Norway with me and we couldn't believe how delicious it was. It tastes almost more like meat then fish, but it's still refined like fish.
Don't pass on the fries, they are amazing too.
The place gets crowded during lunch time but I've never waited more then 10 minutes for my food to be ready.
I have made it a habit to bring all my friends who visit from abroad now. If the sandwich is too much, try the crab salad, delicious as well. -

The owner emailed me and asked me to let him know when we will come back. He was very forthcoming and wants to make things right.
This is what all owners of restaurants should do if they want to keep their customers happy!1 Previous Review: Show all »

I've been to Buster's a few times but have never written a review and thought I should. I went with friends this past Saturday (long weekend in May) and they have never been. I usually get the grilled fish sandwich. I've had the tilapia and the swordfish. I think the swordfish is better than the tilapia.
I usually have it with salad but decided to have fries as well as my son has a peanut allergy and wasn't with me. Buster's deep fry in peanut oil.
What a difference the oil makes! The fries were really good. Too bad it was a small side order. That was $3. I can't remember the price of the swordfish sandwich but it's not the cheapest place to eat in the market but I guess it's seafood which costs more!
My friend's had the boston bluefish fish and chips, fried calamari, smelts.
Everyone was happy with their meal.
Even though there was a lineup, there was a girl who was taking orders while we were in line and then we just paid for it when we got to the cash. And the food came out fairly quickly.
All in all, one of my favourite places to eat when I am at St. Lawrence. -

Great place for a fun lunch if you are in town checking out the city. It's an experience! Right in the St Lawrence market south building all the way at the end. Limited seating inside, but picnic tables are outside.
We got the blue fish and chips, grilled octopus and clam chowder. Very generous portions of fish - 3 fillets per order. Lots of fries and cole slaw - both just ok. Blue fish was hot, flakey and delicious. Octopus portion was small and it was just ok. Clam chowder was very tasty but not anything special. Forus this place was really all about the great fried fish and experience as part of the market. -

Went there for the third time today, but finally am writing a review. This place is my favourite part of the St Lawrence market! My favourite so far is the fried calamari with fries, portion is huge and is consistenly good! Other things I have tried, the fried halibut and fries, snapper and fries, and halibut on a bun. The coleslaw also isn't bad that comes with the fish and chips and the halibut on a bun.
Service is rather fast even with the long lines the wait is not unreasonable. Space is the main issue but while you are waiting for your food if you are with someone I have always been able to get a spot to eat inside.
Next things I want to try are the crab cakes and some of their salads, I always recommend this place to everyone! -

Extra information:
*Located inside of St Lawrence Market
*Limited seating infront of the store
*Different special of the day
*Food court style
Buster's Sea Cove reminds me of Granville Island in Vancouver, BC. They specialize in seafood and most of their customers are tourists, serving Grilled seafood, sandwiches, salads, fish & chips, mussels and soups.
Buster's Sea Cove works like a food court, you go up to the cashier and make your order and pay. And then they will give you a number and you wait until they give you their food.
You can do take out which a lot of people seemed to do, or grab one of the chairs to 'dine in'. When I was there, they had around 4-5 cooks behind the counter working super fast. So even if there are a lot of people waiting for their food, don't worry about it- your food will be served very quickly.
Ordered: BOSTON BLUE FISH & CHIPS 3/5
*4 pieces of boston blue fish served with coleslaw and curly fries for $8.85
*Fish is thin and flat with overall very light batter
*It's not seasoned at all so you need to add something or use the tartar sauce
*Tartar sauce was kind of bland, it could use more kick since the fish is unseasoned as well
*There are ketchup, hot sauce, malt vinegar on the table if you need them
*coleslaw was refreshing but again, needed more seasoning
*Curly fries were nothing special and it was soggy
Ordered: CRAB CAKE SANDWICH 3/5
*Crabcake sandwich served with coleslaw for $8.95
*2 small crabcakes inside the sandwich
*crabcakes are mushy (not much crab meat, more doughy)
*They had consistency of a soft oden
*It wasn't the best crab cake I've tasted but it was decent as a sandwich
*Lots of fresh veggies and the sauce went well with the bread
I noticed a lot of people were getting the grilled calamari or shrimp- especially those ones who were getting it to go. Maybe they are regulars and they know what's good here (share all the details!)
Summary: Seafood is fresh but overall the food is kind of bland. The quality of ingredients makes up for the lack of seasoning. I would go back one more time to try the grilled calamari. -
Review from Howie C.

A seaside fish stand... in the middle of a food warehouse in Downtown Toronto.
One of the most popular lunch locations in St. Lawrence Market, there is always a line. Everything I had was very fresh, but dishes can be hit or miss.
Lobster Bisque - I loved this. It's very thick and creamy. If you're looking for huge chunks of lobster meat, you won't get any. It's more like a creamy salmon colored chowder. The large bowl is generous portion.
Crab Cakes - These looked really enticing... crisp, crab meat mixed with diced red peppers to give it a mild kick. Unfortunately, it was more filler than crab meat. I wasn't expecting jumbo lumps, just something inbetween. It looks like it's full of crab meat, but each bite felt full of flour. I like the red pepper flavor, but was disappointed at the meat content.
Grilled Whole Red Snapper - $22. Grilled to a crisp on the outside, tender, juicy, and full of meat on the inside. Slightly salted, served with a lemon and fried, browned onion strings on top. A very solid and enjoyable dish. It's not mind blowing. Just a fish grilled the right way. As my friend remarked... it could use a little more flavor. But with fresh fish... better to be under-seasoned than over-seasoned.
If I'm in town again, I would eat here again. Next time I'd probably stick to something simple, like fish and chips and the lobster bisque. -

Came here for the first time after having been recommend this place by several people. Conveniently located in the St. Lawrence Market, this seafood hut is a great place to grab a quick bite. The only problem is, it's quite popular, so you need to be prepared to stand in a bit of a line, but that being said, the line does move pretty quickly!
On this particular occasion I enjoyed the haddock and fish and my husband enjoyed the haddock sandwich. Each dish came with coleslaw which was quite tasty (if eaten right away). If you let it sit on your plate for too long it gets warm.
Both of us enjoyed our dishes. The sandwich was nice and light (or as light as can be for a greasy deep fried fish sandwich). The batter they use on their fish is just a light dusting, which I very much appreciated!
I will certainly be making more regular stops at this place when I'm down at the Market. Next time I'm trying the steamed mussels though. I've heard great thugs about them! -

Buster's, simply put, rocks. Delicious, super fresh food nestled amongst the numerous vendors in vibrant St. Lawrence Market. If you're lucky enough to snag a table inside, you can eat right on the spot. If it's nice outside, grab a picnic table on the patio and watch the world go by while you happily devour your food.
I'm no salad girl but their enormous Salmon Salad is spectacular. -

My husband and I came back again to try the deep fried smelts, crab cake sandwich/ panini, and regular old fish and chips ... once again, soooo awesome!
I think my favourite out of the three was the crab cake panini/ sandwich ... although it was a little heavy on the mayo sauce, it was scrumptious!
The fish and chips were pretty good too. Not a fan of the chips at all - they are the soft oily kind. I like crisp battered fries. The fish itself was flaky and melt in your mouth fried goodness ... yum!!!
The smelts were a little larger and fishier and less battered than I expected. Not bad but I unfortunately can't say I was in love this dish :(
Ohh.... we'll probably be back this weekend ... I want to try the entire menu!!!!1 Previous Review: Show all »

I have to say I rather love this place, the only downside is there is always a huge queue (in my experience) and seating it limited. That said the grilled calamari is fantastic as is the seafood orzo, smelts, fried calamari, fish sandwiches, grilled swordfish. I have read other reviews and people complaining about the salad etc, I have eaten here on several occassions and have never had cause to complain. The staff are friendly and fast.
It's not that cheap $15 ish for the orzo but damn it is good! Everything is cooked to order while you wait, thus the queue! Most definately worth the wait and the reason why I like to frequent the market.
Sitting outside the market with some good food from buster's = bliss! Just watch out for those damned pesky birds :D -

I went after the lunch rush so it wasn't as crowded and confusing as most reviewers have mentioned. I didn't have much expectations because I was hungry and was in the mood for some fish and chips.
It didn't take too long to get my food and wondered if they even cooked the fish. Everything was soggy and oily. The breading was too thick, almost like it was wrapped in pancakes. The tartar sauce was really bad. The fries were almost decent but lacked the crispiness that I like on my fries. Thank God for ketchup. The coleslaw - I don't know what that was. It was like cabbage drenched in milk - it was tasteless.
If I was starving and wanted fish and chips and I was at the St. Lawrence Market and if it wasn't crowded, I might actually eat that again. It was edible and the fish did taste fresh. -

A fav in the 'hood. Haddock sammy special is perfectly balanced with huge chunks of lightly battered fish, crisp veggies and a toasted bun. Love that they don't drown their coleslaw in mayo-- it's much lighter. Fries are typical thin curly fries.
Seafood orzo is packed with hunks of shrimp, scallops, shell-in mussels, etc. in a tomato-based sauce. Very tasty, but can take some time since it's made to order.
Deep- fried smelt is salty, fishy goodness--I like having it with salad to offset the fried-ness of it all. They give you a ton and you'll get approving nods from the older European or Asian grannies if you have an order sitting before you ;)
Bisque is a touch salty, but creamy and tasty nonetheless.
Never had an issue with the ordering. You queue on the left, then move to the right to wait for your order after paying. The staff is incredibly efficient, IMO, and I go nearly every weekend since I live in the area. It's often busy, but sane-- hey, you get more disorganization at your average bar when you order drinks :)
As others have said, it's nicest to grab you order and go sit outside to enjoy your food! But if you can squeeze into a seat, it's great for people-watching, too. -

Nothing beats eating out of a lined checkered paper basket. Actually, it can get better. Fill it with fresh seafood or fish, grilled to a perfection, accompanied by a heaping portion of salad or fries. Top it off by finding a picnic bench outside, at the busiest market in Toronto - St Lawrence Market. I'm talking about Buster's. You can't miss it and shouldn't!
I've been eating at Buster's Sea Cove for the past five years and always try to visit the St Lawrence with an empty stomach. I've basically tried everything and haven't been disappointed yet. My favourite order isn't on the menu - Rainbow Trout with a side salad and coleslaw. I opt for the balsamic dressing instead of the raspberry. Make sure to get the red cream sauce for the fish - it is dip/spread/smother worthy. You'll find yourself scrapping the insides to just get an ounce more. BUT you really don't need the sauce. The grill man is a master. He gives you a meaty portion of fish/seafood and grilles it till the outsides are slightly charred but the inside; a buttery, melt in your mouth flaky piece of meat. He also drizzles a garlic, olive oil on top. The price isn't cheap, so be prepared to spend $14-16 dollars. it's mighty worth it once you see the portion size and taste the glory.
Buster's is best in the summer. I have a nostalgic feeling for the place. Every time I think of Buster's, I'm transported back to mid summer, my bike parked around the corner, wearing shorts, summer hair blowing in the wind, chowing down on a sizzling piece of fish with a view of the city around me. (Yes it's a parking lot and a few buildings, but I still love it).
Just watch out for the pigeons.

This is all about the octopus. Thick meaty slabs that you swear are still twitching. Fried beautifully with a peppery kick, they are the standard for seafood takeout.. Sided with some amazing cherry tomatoes, it's a nice refreshing acid kick to take the sharp pepper edge off.
I'd be giving this 5 stars but they use peanut oil in their deep fryer. Who does this anymore? -

I know St. Lawrence market is full of great food, but I never would've thought that tucked way in the back of the building I'd find something quite like Buster's Sea Cove.
Keep in mind though, this takeout shop isn't Rodney's or Oyster Boy, and I'm definitely not trying to convince you that it is. In fact, Buster's Sea Cove isn't even in the same boat. At Buster's, you won't find soft lighting, romantic ambience, or table-side service, but what you're pretty much guaranteed to find, is some killer seafood served up really, really quickly.
Fresh-made fish and chips are the staple in this place, but they've got so much more than that. Their huge menu has everything from crab cakes and clam strips to fried oysters and fish-topped salads. And their fish-type sandwiches, something that they happen to do really, really well, are outstanding. I'm not talking about your standard old fried-fish-on-a-bun here; Buster's rivals the best seafood takeout places with crab cake paninis and seared tuna melts sandwiches.
But don't overlook the fish and chips either. This little takeout stand easily delivers one of the best plates of the stuff in the city. They've got a few varieties of fish to choose from, and each of them is served up expertly battered and crispy. Each plate of fish and chips also comes with in-house made fries and a killer slaw.
Buster's also has a few other options you wouldn't expect from a takeout stand. Grilled swordfish, seafood bisque, rainbow trout, even octopus to name a few. It ain't fine dining by any means, but they truly do push the limits of what takeout is both in quality and selection.
Chances are though, once you get your food you'll be spending most of your time searching for a place to eat it. Busters only has 4 tables or so scattered around in front of the counter, but if those are full-and they probably will be-you're on your own. There's an exit close by to the Market's back patio and parking lot where most of Buster's customers end up, but trust me, if it's a nice day out, that'll fill up pretty quick too and you'll be left looking for a place to eat your by-then-getting-cold food.
Truth be told though, even if you're standing out back of the market among parked cars and alleyways, it won't matter all that much. You might not even notice. Whether it's a crab cake sandwich or plate of fish and chips, the food at Buster's is just that dam good. -

Price, quality, quantity, no body even come close. I think I order blue fish sandwich. With 3 layers of breaded fried fish, fresh veggies, a good price. Fresh is the key at this place. It's breaded, but thin layer of crumbs, 3 layers of filet, bread is not thick, so you do seem to taste more of the fish than stuffing yourself. Which is a good thing. Recommend the Boston Bluefish sandwich. I wish I had tried the clam chowder but it was out.

I had their octopus last week, and I must say it was rather excellent. It was well out of my price range though, so I don't see me going for it again (nearly $15 for some octopus with their amazing fries is just a bit too much for me).
I definitely will be going back to try other things on their menu, as well as the usual things I typically get.1 Previous Review: Show all »

If you are craving for a swordfish sandwich then this is the place to go. The food is consistently good, fresh and tasty! I have not been wronged by this place no matter how busy St. Lawrence Market gets. I try to order other things but the swordfish is so deliciously flaky and tasty that I just cannot get enough. I had swordfish sandwiches in Italy and this comes really close to how perfectly cooked the fish is and the ratio of bread to meat is just right so as not to overpower each other.

A few months ago, while sharing a peameal bacon sandwich at St. Lawrence Market with my other half, we noticed lots of people eating delicious looking seafood. "Where did that come from?" we said to each other, and made a note to remember to look for seafood on our next visit.
Last weekend we were back at the market for some shopping. Before we finished making our purchases, my stomach started growling and I remembered we had to look for seafood. Turns out the delicious looking seafood comes from Buster's.
First, the menu at Buster's is daunting. There are actually two menus. Not feeling the sandwich love (I'm sure they're good, and there are lots to choose from) and figuring we would split something, we perused the grilled fish menu. Again, lots to choose from. The two of us split the grilled calamari with fries (you can replace fries with salad) and it was a big heaping portion for about $13. I can't imagine eating it myself!
The grilled calamari was pretty good. A little chewy but tasty. The fries were way too greasy for my liking. They were so greasy they were wet.
I will definitely go back to try the other seafood on offer, but next time I'll get a salad on the side.
The staff, for being worked so hard - this place is popular! - is really nice.
Hard to get a seat. Try outside, and around the corner. -

I've been here at least five times and have never had a bad experience. The lineups seem long but the food comes up fairly quickly. It's a great place to have a quick lunch.
The fish and chips are the best I've ever had. It's not too greasy and the fries are actually delicious as well (both I find difficult to achieve whenever I get fish and chips). The coleslaw is a nice touch, however, I feel like it could use a bit more flavour. The crab cake sandwich was simply delicious and is even better with some sriracha sauce. The grilled calamari salad was perfectly flavoured, not chewy and not too oily.
I will definitely be returning to try more items on the menu! -

Buster's Sea Cove is at the very back on the main level of the St. Lawrence Market. It's always got a crowd of people waiting around the counter for their fishy number to be called.
I usually order the halibut and chips (which is awesome!), but today I decided on the crab cakes. I'm a huge fan of crab - specifically because of the texture. Buster's crab cakes were grilled instead of deep fried, which is awesome because of the mountain of fries they give you. However, the texture was more like eating a baked yam, rather than crab. It was a little spicy, and alright in taste. I was feeling kinda disappointed though.
I should have gotten the halibut. -

Yawn. The fried haddock on my fish and chip plate was good, but everything else was sorely disappointing: bland and soggy coleslaw, soggy fries, back-asswards ordering/queuing system. This place caters to tourists and definitely tastes like it.
First, the fried haddock. The fish was fresh and firm, but the breading (though light) was on the oily side. Unfortunately, the fried wish was laying on a bed of of sad, soggy, oily french fries. Most of the fries were bits and small pieces, so obviously they gave me the bottom of the chip fryer. TOTAL FAIL. Also, the coleslaw? Why bother? Tasted like shredded cabbage dressed with water and salt.
The lobster bisque was pretty decent, though I prefer bisque to be a little more richer and buttery-er.
While the service is fast, the way they have their queuing is awkward at best. They want you to order at a specific place at the counter, but when the line gets long (as it usually does), they want you to snake backwards toward the tables in front of the cash. Then, when you finish paying, you have to make your way to the right of the cash register (where you have to navigate between full tables and other people waiting to order/pay). Why not just let the line naturally wrap alongside the counter? Or, place the cash register on far right side instead of the far left? The way it is now just leads to chaos.
Anyway. Buster's Sea Cove is a big bust and not worth a second visit; there are other places with better food within St. Lawrence Market. -

If you had been a stalker of mine two years ago, you would have been well acquainted with the back of the garbage can across from Buster's Sea Cove because I was there every weekday between 5 and 6pm without fail. That's how I got around to trying almost every item on the fabulously fishy menu.
While curiously long clam strips, crispy calamari rings, perfectly salty fried smelt, creamy clam chowder, and almost everything else on the menu are validly mouthwatering options, I hardly stray from my two faves now that I don't work just around the corner and have the time to visit daily anymore.
The perpetually friendly Mo knows that medium with a moist centre is the way I like my salmon grilled and that if I opt for the buttery grilled swordfish (that usually comes on a bun) that I'll have it on salad instead. The green salad which features grape tomatoes, cucumbers, red cabbage, carrots, and red onions is not merely a side, but a hearty edible arrangement. The un-creamy coleslaw is crunchy and flavourful.
I like to pull up a stool at the counter to watch the Sea Cove in action, but tables right in front allow friends (and friendly strangers on busier days) to sit together. Come on down and make some new acquaintences, be they fish or folk! -

In St. Lawrence Market there lays a secret seafood haven called Buster's Sea Cove.
There are many choices to get your seafood fix on. Halibut, Boston Bluefish, Swordfish, Mussels, Smelts, Calamari, and Crab cakes just to name a few. For a side order one can choose fries, salad, coleslaw, have their selection fried or grilled, or on a sandwich. We were mesmerized at the menu selection for a while. And when we're hungry we get picky :)
We finally decided on a crab cake sandwich and halibut sandwich. We shared the two sandwiches. This was splendid. Food is extremely fresh, tasty, cooked perfectly and fast. It just melts in your mouth with no bad aftertaste.
Buster Sea Cove is a great way to enjoy the fresh imported seafood of the St. Lawrence Market in the moment. It delivered in a big way, we'll be going back for sure. -
Review from May B.

I read such good reviews for this place and since I was at the market, I figured I'd try it out. First time I went I ordered the calamari and chips to go, and sat on a bench in the park opposite. The older British lady beside me commented on how she always ordered the same from Buster's and we stuck up a lovely conversation. But back to the food. I was mildly satisfied, since the portion was huge and filled me right up. The curly fries were delicious, but the calamari was just OK.
So I decided to go back again and this time I tried the calamari grilled this time around. It was more expensive of course, but for that I was expecting better food. It came out as 6 large pieces of calamari covered in seasoning and slightly blackened. They gave me some sort of sour cream sauce that looked like tartar (and most definitely wasn't) so I had to ask for tartar on my own. Anyways, the grilled calamari was definitely better than the fried variety, but I found it much to salty for my liking and lacking any flavour other than charring and lemon that I'd squeezed all over it. I'm a calamari fiend, but both their calamari dishes failed to wow me in any sense.
Still, I'm a sucker for seafood and will most likely be back. Maybe I'll try the actual fish this time.
And a note on the line-up/ordering system: I agree, it's very unorganized. They ask you to order at the cash but at the same time they're taking orders from the other end of the bar, and soon the staff get confused with who's paid and who hasn't, and who's ordered and who hasn't, and the patrons are even more confused. then, given the lack of adequate seating in the area, there's a buildup of people looking for seats, saving seats, and still trying to decide what to order. If they figure out a more efficient system it'd save headaches for the staff and for customers. -

I have been to Lawerence market a feew times but had never noticed this place as it is right at the back. Went here based on recomendations from this site and got a Haddock sandwich (10 bucks). Amazing stuff. The haddock tastes really fresh and the batter is very light and crispy. Cannot recommend this place enough
