Howell's Fish — Restaurant in South Bruce Peninsula

Great freshly smoked fish They do smoked salmon, trout, and whitefish. Warning: They tend to run out too. However, the day we were there, we came back in the afternoon when a second batch was ready. Reasonably priced too. Good for 9 days from the time it comes out of the smoker (but there's no chance my accomplice would ever let it sit around that long ... it's gone within 9 hours).

If you don't know Wiarton, the big Howell's painted sign is located on the side of one of their downtown corner buildings on Highway 6. It can be deceiving - because they are not on the main drag (but rather only a few blocks away on a residential street).

Basic directions: When you see the big Howell's sign, turn on a side street and head west (away from Georgian Bay). After a couple of blocks of heading west, turn right on a side street and keep driving (northward) until you reach Division St. Turn left on Division St. You'll find Howell's on the left.

We will definitely be back! Service also a 10/10, very fast. We hung around for a few minutes, bought some whitefish and our food was...

I stumbled upon this place while in Wiarton hiking the Bruce Trail and I am so I happy I did. I ordered fish and chips which was made with lake trout. I've never had fish and chips made with trout before but these were SO good. The batter was light and not greasy at all and the fish was very flavorful. The homemade tartar sauce was also 10/10. The staff were super friendly and made the experience that much more enjoyable.

Editing my review to add that I came back this weekend to try out their fish tacos and WOW. Some of the best fish tacos I’ve ever had. My only complaint would be that it is a bit pricey for only two tacos, but they are definitely worth it on the...
