I don't go to Hamilton often but when I do, I make sure visit the local Farmer's Market. Unlike…read moreother farmer's market, this market has only stands inside. Tucked among vast businesses is HT Fish, which as the name Sais, sells mainly seafood. Their seafood is always fresh and is at affordable prices that won't break your bank. I buy salmon and shrimps mostly but there are tons of varieties to choose. Owned by a very young and hard working couple, Yao and his wife (with now a baby) are always friendly, knowledgeable and serviceable. Their stand is located downstairs, right by the ramp. There are free side street parking if you are able to find it. If not, pay for parking.

They have a variety of different cuts, salmon fillet is probably the best thing there. I think the store is run by a young couple that works hard, they're very friendly.

WOW WOW WOW!! absolutely the best Fish and Chips I've had…read morein many years, i ordered the haddock and fries, the batter was thin and crispy, its gluten free too, not that i would have noticed as crispy as it was, the fish was fried perfectly. The portions were fantastic, large fresh pieces of fish, no junk tail pieces either, super Delicious!! As for the fries, another WOW moment, just freaking outstanding fries. Hammerheads brilliantly fries their food in beef fat, which adds a ton of flavour, the fries were just crazy good as was the fish. Service was excellent its a take out place, very high paced, Mike the main guy was awesome. They are however flooded with orders, but luckily that doesn't affect the quality in any way, when busy, take out takes a bit longer, but ask anyone waiting, its so very worth it, i'll be back over and over!

So far I've tried their poke bowls, lobster rolls, and frozen lobster tails. All have been very delicious. The tuna poke bowls in particular are some of the best I've ever had - the flavors and textures are simply perfection. Hammerheads on Locke have already proven to be an amazing community partner - and offer pop up food at local businesses. I attended a film premiere party at Steel Town Cider where Hammerheads on Locke were serving up poke bowls. Cider + poke = match made in heaven! Super friendly and helpful staff - love this place!! So thrilled the Ottawa Street location decided to expand.

In particular, the halibut was balanced so well with the brightness of the summer veggies and sauce. This was also my first time trying the seafood chowder, and it did not disappoint! Chunks of assorted seafood in a creamy (but not overly thick or salty) broth, topped with a heapful of chives that just hit the spot. The chowder let the seafood shine, which is exactly what it should do!

It was nearly full on a Sunday afternoon, so service moved a little slowly, but the staff stayed friendly and attentive. Appetizers: - PEI Mussels - Mermaid Chowder Mains: - Shrimp Roll - Lobster Grilled Cheese Dessert: - New York-Style Cheesecake The seafood was fresh and generously portioned. My shrimp roll was light, tangy, and surprisingly plentiful, and the chowder had a hearty amount of clams--comforting without being overly heavy. The lobster grilled cheese was rich and indulgent in the best way. We finished with a classic cheesecake that rounded out the meal nicely. Overall, a satisfying experience and a lovely little spot for seafood in Oakville. Would happily return to explore more of the menu.

Coming from British Columbia (the OG of candied salmon).. I was on the hunt for some comparable…read morecandied salmon here in Ontario. T&J seafoods offers one flavour of candied salmon that's made weekly in small batches (it's not too popular out east I suppose). It's smoked and seasoned with peppercorn. There's barely a sweet flavour and there's a lot of peppery spiciness. The salmon is also much tougher and I even found some small bones in a few of the pieces. It is good value for $9/half lbs of candied salmon and it's nice that they vacuum seal it for you when you buy it. FINAL VERDICT: After tasting the maple syrup candied and smoked Sockeye candied salmon variations from Vancouver, BC's Granville Island market, T&J just doesn't match up in terms of freshness, quality, or flavour.
