Bluenose Fish & Chips

Our go to for fish and chips in the area. Excellent service and recommend the coleslaw with halibut. We always order extra coleslaw and tartar sauce.

I ate at Blue Nose today and I must say I will be coming back more often. The Halibut and chips were so good. The batter is so delicious. The chips are nice and hot. Just the way I like it. The service is great. Everyone is very nice. The place is nice, clean and cozy. I’ve been to Halibut House across the street and their fish and chips were horrible. The halibut was dry and the chips were cold. Wth

You get a lot of food for your money, so if you want to be stuffed, this is your place. For great fish and chips, you might have to look elsewhere.
It’s not terrible, but it’s not great. I had the lunch special haddock and chips that at $ 11.99, came with two pieces of fish, fries, coleslaw, and two cans of pop. The two cans of pop is kind of weird. Is this for two people? Oh well, I ate it all myself.
It didn’t look like haddock I’ve had anywhere else (usually smooth). It was lumpy, kind of soggy, and fell apart. The fries are very average. Both the fish and fries should’ve been fried a little longer. It wasn’t unenjoyable, but it wasn’t great. I’m not sure if this is new, but while they give you tartar sauce with your meal, there are also tartar sauce packets off to the side along with the vinegar and ketchup. If they cost extra, no one told me.
There are a lot of windows, so on a sunny day, it’s a pretty nice place to eat. It’s spaced out well and has a good combination of booths and two-​seaters.
This is on par with the nearby Halibut House on Wooten Way, each with their own great values.

One of the best fish and chips in the gta. Definitely in my top five for halibut I’ve ever had and their fries are to die for. Their souvlaki and Greek salad is killer, too. Friendly owners and great service make this one our favourite local spots.

My mom and I came across this place as we were going to get some water at the Shoppers Drug Mart.
The atmosphere was very cozy. The owner was very friendly and hospitable and she gave us the menus.
The variety of food was enormous and so were the portions of food but on the plus side you don’t leave this place feeling the least bit hungry.
I was full by the time I left which is quite unusual for me. But I was happy.

The fish and chips and pork souvlaki dinner were all good, but still does not beat Granny Bonn’s fish; and the Greek-​run family business has lots of regulars that come in. I like their customer service, not forced but natural because they remember returning customer faces and treats them like friends. I liked that they had mushy peas on the menu… so hard to find that in a fish and chips shop. But tables could be a bit cleaner and less sticky.

Probably the best fish and chips in Markham. They are always fresh. The only reason I wouldn’t give them 5 stars is based on the fact that their customer service isn’t so great and they are stingy with the tartar sauce.

Stopped in for some take out, but ended up eating in.
There is an open kitchen, with lots of people coming in and out for take out the whole time we were there. I had the halibut and I loved the delicious firm taste that halibut has, the batter was not overpowering to this delicate fish and chips were home cut and just as good.
Will definitely be back, I really liked eating it in, hot and crispy and service was extremely pleasant. Overall, a nice little neighbourhood gem:)

Their fish is always excellent and the staff are so warm and personable… feels like family! Their souvlaki platters are awesome… the meats are tender and flavorful. I’ve never had a bad meal here!

Went there by myself the other day 5:30 pm. I felt the seating area was very small, and the small 2 seater tables they were trying to get me to sit in were so tiny you wouldn’t be able to read the paper at the same time. I took a booth but was warned they may kick me out if it got busy. I had to rush a bit to get out of there in time before that happened.
Now, I had fish and chips 11 bucks plus tax. An extra piece of fish was 10 which I thought was overkill. The portion sizes were great and the quality of the potatoes and fish were great. I could tell the oil they were frying in must have been clean as a whistle.
My only complaint about the food was the fish was lacking that crunchy batter texture I like. And the pop I ordered came in a can and they didn’t even open it.
Either than that, not much wow factor, maybe abut pricy, but I could tell that there was some dedication to the food, service and cleanliness of the place.

Fantastic fish and chips. Good portions and not greasy… Been a regular customer for years.

Adding a star, as both the food and the quality of service has improved.
Food is fresh and hot. customer service is improving since their earlier gaffes.
Get there early for dinner as it gets busy as it gets closer to closing.
They charge extra for small packets of tarter or garlic sauce which is a detractor. Their onto rings are good. Not too greasy.
Their Greek salad dressing is a bit sweet, but otherwise the salad is fine.
Fish is firm flacky and flavorful.

I just moved to the area and this is probably the closest local restaurant to home for me. In my search for good local eats, I paid Bluenose a visit.
The first visit, I discovered that they were on summer vacation. So I had to wait until they reopened. No biggie.
I returned on the second day that they reopened and ordered the Halibut and fries of course. They must have still been on vacation mode because the halibut tasted overcooked. It was dry and very difficult to eat without the addition of tartar sauce. I was quite disappointed. There aren’t many good local eats around here in the first place and this wasn’t helping the cause. However, I gave them the benefit of a doubt and vowed to give it a second chance.
When I finally came back, I ordered the Halibut and fries again. Fortunately, this time, it tasted much better. The fish was not nearly as dry and flavorless. Maybe, they WERE still in vacation mode the first time around.
Bluenose was not a complete bust. I will come back again and try out some burgers, but I can’t say this is my local favourite as of yet. Hopefully my future visits can change my mind, but until then, I will have to keep looking for a local restaurant to frequent.

Plain restaurant located in busy and uninspiring strip mall on Highway 7 does not inspire much confidence based on looks alone, but the busy atmosphere proves that locals know a great bargain when they see one! The fish and chips are excellent, generously sized portions, fried to perfection, and try the coleslaw with it — delicious! Cheery, quick service, Greek salad is also very good.

Great local friendly fish & chip shop which is delicious however tonight I tried the chicken souvlaki & it was excellent as well. Love the waitress there… Greek lady who remembers you & ensures you eat! Support this local no franchise restaurant… I’m a fan of it.

This place makes an outstanding fish and chips, our family has been going there since they open. The people are very friendly and they are familiar with there regular customers. As far as the dog situation goes, I truely don’t believe the owners or management would treat someone like that, they have heart. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.

Went here 1 time and wont go back, it is horrible and should be shut down. Also found out today the woman there kicked a service dog and was horrible to a man in a wheel chair who owned her. Shut them down people!!!

Amazing fish and chips! It is crispy on the outside and moist/​tender in the inside. The fish is succulent and fresh and fried to perfection. The fries portioning is larger than average and crispy. It is almost like a mom and paps restaurant. There is a waitress there that loves to joke around with us.
She usually brings a glass of water and coke for us. She will say rum and coke for the gentleman and vodka on ice for the lady. I love her sense of humour and her warm smiles. The two chefs are friendly and greets customers as they walk in. They have lovely booths against the window and larger tables to accommodate to groups too. It is a nice relaxing restaurant with different sail boats models all over.
Yummy food and great people! What more can you ask for?

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.

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… :)
