Highland Fish & Chips - Scarborough, Ontario

Excellent old-fashioned fish ‘n chips! Generous portions for the prices charged and just the right amount of batter. I recommend the halibut, my favourite! Sides are also exceptional. A client of mine recommended this place to me and I’m glad he did. The staff are very friendly. Once they forgot ... an item in my order which I didn’t discover until I returned home. I called about the omission and they were very accomodating, remembering me the next time I came in and compensating me. I would recommend this place to anyone locally. Read more

Really really amazing batter. Soooo flaky. I personally think it is better than olde yorke. Chips is decent definitely room to be as amazing as the fish. Mushie bean is so so. Coleslaw is awesome. Service is top notch.

A low key place but man, they know how to make a mean crispy fish! Adorable staff, really sincerely sweet and offering great advice. It was SoOo hard to choose but finally I got one piece of haddock with crispy bits. Yum! The haddock I had was so delicious I ... almost forgot to take a picture first. Ok, I did. Definitely worth popping off the highway for!!! Read more

visited on Friday March 23, 2018 Due to it being the season of Lent, my wife and I decided once again on a Friday to go for fish and chips. We've known about Highland Fish & Chips for a while, I've visited for take-out 2 times before even before they started accepting ... Interac. My previous 2 visits were strictly cash-only!! Had to plan ahead before coming here, since I usually don't carry that much cash on hand. At least as of our visit yesterday, we were happy to learn they finally now accept Debit payments. At the time of our visited the dining room was really full. Luckily we were able to snag a table for 2. Service was quite good for the time of it being really busy. We ordered the Fisherman's Platter (3 shrimps, 3 scallops and 3-4 pce of fish), ½ order of onion rings and a Caesar salad. We had requested the fries and fish to be extra crispy, turns out everything but the fries arrived extra crispy, including the onion rings. Now, all the food was okay, I'd say around 3 outta 5 stars. The reason for the reduction of 2 stars was, at least for our palette, the batter being too oily. In the event that the fried goodies were also salty, I would have deducted another star. Normally I don't have to use malt vinegar or the lemon (which was the squeeze bottle lemon extract), but this time I had no choice, I had a difficult time eating the fried fish portions without it. My wife and I shared the Fisherman's Platter..else I would not have been able to finish it. My wife had commented also that the batter on the shrimp and scallop was oily enough to leave a film behind on her lips. I felt the oil from the batter leave residue on my tongue and the roof of my mouth. Also, for portioning, it seemed a bit on the small side (fisherman's platter) for the amount of $21, not enough fries in my opinion, the scallops and shrimps were decently sized, just felt not enough for price paid, ½ order of onion rings was a lot, enough for my wife and I to share, we had also shared the Caesar salad. Wife felt that the Caesar salad portion size was a bit on the small size for the price paid. No real complaints on the onion rings (really good when asked for extra crispy). As for a future visit, I did over hear from another table that Highland Fish and Chips does offer a “light” batter option, so my wife and I will return to try out their “light batter” option. If this fails our hopes, likely we shall not be making a return visit. Our current go to spot for Fish and Chips for the last 3 previous Friday's of this 2018 Lent season has been Painted Post Fish and Chips, batter on fish is much lighter and no oily side effect after the meal.

Food was excellent - proper British fish and chips and your choice of dessert from a platter of options. Had to knock off some stars though because the service was pretty bad though. The waitress treated me like I reminded her of her ex husband - for this reason I ... probably won't be coming back. Read more
