Fisherman’s Plaice — Restaurant in Mississauga

I was looking for a new fish and chips in the area to hopefully make my go to. At a first glance, the restaurant is small but cute with an 80's vibe to the decor. Nothing fancy or over the top, but rather homey feeling. Then you order and get to the food...most of it is sourced from quality locations, such as the haddock from Nova Scotia and the steak pies from a local bakery, the black pudding and Haggis from a Scottish butcher--and it definitely shows in the taste! The portions are very generous. I was stuffed to the brim after just the fish and a few chips! The chips are made in house, like just about everything else here. Fresh Ontario farm-grown potatoes, and if ordering poutine, the curds are ordered from Quebec! The meal was absolutely delicious, but the service was equally as excellent. The chef came out to ask if we were new and talked to us about how the restaurant has been around for 40 years--and it's very easy to see why!--as well as about the food and where it is sourced from and made. I can't rate higher than a 5/5 stars, or I would. 100% recommend coming here if you...

I can't say as I understand why so many people have nothing but superlative things to say about this restaurant. I visited last night with a friend and while I found the service friendly and timely, the food was, simply put, god awful. I ordered the halibut and chips. The piece of fish I was given was roughly half the thickness of pieces I normally receive at other fish and chip restaurants in the area. As a result it was overcooked and dried out. The batter was anemic and flavourless. The fries were also disappointing and even the ketchup they provided was some off-brand wretched affair. The worst part was the plate cost nearly $16 which is more than I've ever paid for halibut and chips at any other fish and chips restaurant. I think if, in future, they offered to pay me $16 to eat it, I would have to politely refuse. I do feel bad about being so harsh as it looks like a family-run place but they really need to step up their game as this was one of the worst fish and chips experiences...

First time trying them a year into living in the neighborhood. The fish (we had the haddock) was absolutely delicious from the batter to the quality of the fillet.

The fillet was large (long with a fair bid of breadth to it) and extremely meaty, while also being what you expect of white fish (it's obviously well sourced). The chips are just right - not overly salted, not overly greasy.

Now I don't tend to ever eat tartar sauce, but ironically I'm a big fan of remoulade (which is basically a sibling of tartar sauce) and the homemade tartar sauce reminded me very much so of remoulade. It was so rich and flavorful yet light because of the dill. Honestly never get the packaged tartar sauce, just always get their homemade.

If you're looking for a good fish and chips place in the neighborhood, this the place to go and help support local businesses in these trying times! Thanks...
