A gem of a local restaurant tucked away in a little neighbourhood plaza.
The batter/fry is wonderfully crisp and not too heavy. We tried the haddock and generic 'white fish'. I would definitely pay the extra $1 and go with the haddock. We will definitely be back. A good creamy coleslaw. The fries seemed to be fresh cut but more importantly didn't pick up any fishiness so either very clean oil or seperate fryer.
Service is prompt and friendly. Interior is clean and well kept. -

Ai do as the lassies do here at the High Street and order ye fish & chips or their home made pot pies, and as the Scots all sey, be happy while you're living, for you're a long time dead.
One of the few true places to get Scottish food aside from the old MacDonalds, you can get haggis and some black pudding here. But tis true, Red sky at night, Shepherds Delight; Red sky in the morning, Shepherds Warning and to marry is to halve your rights and double your duties. At least here at High Street you can reduce some of yer duties and let them cook fer yer lassie.
I had me some Chip and Chicken Pot pie, and it was quite lovely. They've got a variety of meat pies, and a variety of fish to choose from. Can't say I'm a true deep fried fish connoisseur but everything looked decently battered, and nicely golden. I found their chips a tad on the soggy end for my liking, but it was acceptable. No I didn't try the Haggis or Blood Pudding, but maybe that'll have to be a future UYE, with a swoosh of alcohol and a bit of truth or dare.
I'm not sure how high you can get from High Street, but you're not going to mistake it for crack alley or ho highway, but if you've got a hankering for the fry in this neighbourhood, this be the place says I.
Twelve highlanders and a bagpipe make a rebellion. Little wit o' the head gives the feet much to do.Listed in: Meh!

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 6 PM, I guess people have dinner early here! :P
Closed Sundays and Mondays! -

If you are looking for a traditional Scottish fish & chips, then High Street is the place for you. The restaurant is situated on a quiet street in a small shopping plaza. The interior of the restaurant is super cute and very clean. Both the staff and customers are older, and everyone seems really nice and professional. They offer a few different types of fish but I always ordered the "mystery" one when I ate meat. The side options are fries, creamy coleslaw, mushy peas, and onion things. Aside from fish & chips, High Street also sell a few types of meat pies and fish cakes. We've tried a few meat pies and they're pretty good except I am not a fan of the cold ones but that may just be personal preference.
I definitely recommend eating in as the fries do get soggy when you get take out. -

Opening up my takeout order, I discovered that my favourite Fish & Chips place has begun its downward spiral. First, I noticed the packets of tartar sauce... I loved their homemade sauce... it was missing. Then the Halibut with Chips were disappointing. The batter was very thick... heavy handed battering. The fish was wet and too chewy. I have to say that I was unhappy eating it. I don't know if they are cutting corners or there was a rush at lunch but I am serious ly going to think again when I am hungry for lunch.

If it ain't Scottish it's crap! This is a quality Scottish mom and pop fish 'n chip shoppe. People travel great distances to get to this small restaurant located in a small local plaza known as The Donwood Plaza in Don Mills. Easy to get to by car located near Don Valley Parkway and Lawrence. I've eaten here many times. The cooking oil used seems to be a higher quality or is changed more frequently. Older repeat customer base indicates to me that this hard to satisfy demographic is more than happy with their eating experience. Kilts are optional! Shut Sunday and Monday. Open Tuesday to Saturday 11:30am - 8pm. Free Parking!
