Coming from Toronto, with many great fish & seafood shops around town and moving to Halifax - right on the ocean, I definitely expected to find many more fresh fish sellers about. Apparently, most fishermen actually export their wares. Thank goodness for Peter and the crew at the Halifax Farmers Market every Saturday.
The fish is always fresh -they can even tell you who caught it and when it came ashore. It's no wonder there's always a crowd. And the best thing with really freshly caught fish...it's always a surprise as to what's on hand...aside from the standard awesome giant scallops, gorgeous salmon steaks and fillets, halibut, cod...well then there's shark steak, tuna and many more surprises.
If that's not enough, then you haven't tried the smoked fishes from St Mary's River Smokehouses...but that's another review. -

Working close to The Fish Shop means working close to an awesome lunch of fish and chips. I've been twice now at lunch and have ordered the two piece fish and chips both times.
The service is quick and friendly. The batter is slightly crispy and gets out of the way. The fish is very high quality, as I'd expect for a fish shop selling fresh, local seafood. On top of the wonderful fish, the chips are great. They're fried well and tossed in salt and fresh cracked black pepper which I love.
I would definitely recommend The Fish Shop, not only for its fresh seafood, but also as a lunch option. I'm happy to have this close to the office and home!
