I have been eating here for about 7 years now. It is one of my two favourite fish & chip places in the city!! The food is always fresh and hot. The bread and butter is a fave as well, the bread is so fresh and the thick slices make you feel spoiled. The fries I like a little well done and you can ask for some scraps.. which are the bits of batter left in the fryer from the fish cooking.. yum!!!
The staff are always friendly and personable. If you go often enough they start to remember your order!! ha!! The prices are very reasonable. The dining area is very clean.
I'm not a huge fish fan but I go every couple of months to satisfy my halibut craving!! :0) -

I have lived in the area for over 20 years. When I first moved there, Duckie's was a legend for the fish and chips. I brought some of our relatives from England one evening. I was so embarrased. They should be reported for the basement alone, where the washrooms are. I had heard that the basement was bad but I had no inkling of how bad it truly is. The floors are slippery, it has a terrible smell. You nearly want to run back upstairs before you get sick.
The fish, which used to be lightly battered, is now covered in greasy batter; you get more batter than fish. The fries were so so. The only redeeming part of the meal was the cole slaw.
The service was fair, just. I know it's not a gourmet restaurant but considering that Duckworth's has been around a long time, they really need to clean up their act and see to that basement and get the fish back to what it used to be 20 years ago... You have plenty of time to do that before Good Friday.... Come on guys! You can't let Olde Yorke steal all your business... -

My mother would eat here every sunday from the age of 11, and the halibut and fries from Duckworth's was akin to mothers milk for myself and my 2 sisters. I go here often still, and the place hasn't changed a bit!! Even the lady at the counter has been there as long as I can remember (and still wears her make-up exactly the same LOL)!!
The fish is always crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, though, I wouldn't eat here if you have cholesterol issues. It's artery-clogging goodness!
I'll always come back to Ducky's, as my family calls it, and my children have been raised on their food as well, starting a 4th generation off right :)
Eat in and have the bread and butter. It's always been a favourite with us :) -

Fish & chips. That's what you go for. That's what's good. Of course the slaw ain't bad either.

Really tasty fish (halibut) and chips. My wife and I have been here a couple of times, once for eat-in and once for takeout. Decor is nothing special - open kitchen style, with few decorations - but the fish is perfectly done, and although not the hugest piece I've ever seen, is one of the tastiest ever. Will definitely return over and over.

Great food, great value for money, great service. Friendly family atmosphere - charming. If you are looking for flash, this is not your place. But the food is amazing, please do try.

good fish and chips but certainly not the amazing delight that I was expecting due to the flamboyant reviews I have received from word of mouth. I trekked very far to main station to experience the "best fish and chips I'll ever have" and I am critically disappointed. The waiter forgot our drinks (a coke and iced tea, not that hard) which I don't understand seeing as they had about a 1-1 staff ratio for the other people in there. I ordered the halibut and chips (or maybe it was haddock, whatever, its all fish) as did my friend. We found our meal to be good, but not even close to the godly praise that it was given by several people whom I thought had good taste. Such godly praise is deserved by deep-blue fish and chips, who seem to have disappeared off the face of the earth (RIP). I would rank the food here good-average, its not bad but its certainly not above and beyond. I think I slightly preferred the fish and chips at the old nick pub on the danforth due to them serving it with tartar sauce, other than this they would be about the same in quality.
so unless you live nearby I would recommend just going to the nearest pub or other fish and chips place, except the duke of york, in which case I would rather eat dog shit.
