This place is ok at best. Greasy, deep fried, not much taste. The price is very fair. But if you've been to the UK or the east or west coast of Canada and had fish in any of those places. This place doesn't even come close. read more

Fabulous legit old school fish and chips - highly recommend this no-nonsense place with a great haddock special at $8,99 read more

British Style Fish & Chips - a plate of fish and chips - Fish & Chips Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Great fish and chips. Note closed until January 20, 2022. Look forward to seeing you soon.

Perfect and fresh Fish and Chips at very affordable prices. Ordered the Halibut and the Haddock, and both were tasty with a traditional batter. The owner is friendly, service is fast! read more

I've driven past this place a thousand times and was always meaning to stop, and finally this past Sunday we did. I'm glad I read some reviews while waiting for my order to be prepared. The fish here has amazing batter, and the house made tartar sauce is a must have! Hubby had the haddock and chips and I went with the Halibut and chips. The Haddock was an amazing value at just over $7 for 1 piece with chips. Halibut was closer to $11 (it was 10-something). It's totally worth having, just about every one take's theirs away, and you can call in advance to place your order so you don't have to wait. Does it get better than that?!? read more

British Style Fish & Chips - The menu - Fish & Chips Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

TLDR. Awesome value, great food, best in the area for fish and chips. This place rocks. Feels a little retro inside, which I love to see when old places are maintained so well. The menu has some interesting options I haven't seen in other fish and chip joints, like oysters, scallops etc. If you are at the nearby beach this summer and burger priest is packed, head here. It's a hidden gem. read more

We made a point of trying this place after reading the reviews. Our experience was not at all reflective of any of the decent ratings. We ordered takeaway. It's really not a spot one would consider inviting, to stay for a meal. Although the pricing's pretty standard for a proper halibut'n'chips meal, portions are small, wrapped only in a single sheet of paper with no box, and loaded into a plastic bag. Hence, the batter was pretty soggy once unwrapped. Fries were completely forgettable. We ordered halibut but just cannot believe that that's what we were given. The fish itself had an unappealing rubbery, dense texture. Beneath the soggy batter were pieces of fish that seemed too small and low quality to be halibut. A "one-piece" order turned out to be two very small tail pieces. The whole thing was an appetite killer. Tasted like disappointment. read more

This is my go to Fish and Chip place. The price is great with large amounts of fish and chips. These are some of the best tasting chips around. Always friendly staff and prompt service. read more

Value for money. Street parking is available and free. Small restaurant only about 2 tables for two n 2 tables for 4. We ordered 3 different fishes. Pollock which is the cheapest, flaky texture, good portion. Cod, medium price, good texture, just too much batter. Halibut, priee a bit of on high side but still better than other restaurant. Small portion. Very good portion French fries. read more

I too drive past this location and always wanted to try... Fish batter is a tad too thick. Fried if beef oil which is supposed to give it more authentic taste (I would have to try real fish and chips to really compare). Price is right. Fries soggy but not sure it's because we had take out and it sogged up in the paper wrap. Overall I would have it again, close location... Friendly service... and price is right. ... oh and lots of msg... read more

I am suddenly into fish & chips. Kat & I were on one of our patented 'I work from home' weekday adventures and we decided to hit British Style for a comparison against my favorite, Reliable Fish & Chips. To summarize in one word - greasy. I mean everything was greasy; the people working here, the depressing ambiance and of course the food. Location: Reliable is closer to my house but British Style has less stressful parking. Tie. Price: British Style was less expensive. Point BS. Ambiance: No contest. Reliable is classy, comfortable and clean. BS is none of these things. The door actually says Beck Taxi on it, it was freezing inside and extremely run down. BS encourages you to leave while Reliable encourages you to stay. Point Reliable. Staff: Again, no contest. The woman at BS was a 'shouter-talker' and I was distracted from my conversation by her... shouting. Point Reliable. Food: Personal taste. I prefer Reliable with it's lighter batter. BS is VERY greasy (like lard-film coating my mouth for an hour after leaving) and Reliable is lighter tasting. You get a much larger portion at BS (the fish was HUGE.. like the size of a dvd case) which was not really a selling feature for me, but it might be for you. The batter is very different at these places making this a rather editorial point being awarded to Reliable. Both places have a good selection of specialty pops, with BS having my favorite Stewart's key lime and Reliable having a cane sugar cola drink. Point Reliable. Clearly, Reliable wins the weekday work at home crew fish & chips shootout for February 2010. I will never go to BS Fish and Chips again outside of force majeur unforseen circumstances (Reliable IS closed on Sundays...). read more

Small place but it gets busy! Not a lot of seating, would suggest take out. Price is good but amount of fish is not enough. However, food tastes great! read more

British Style Fish & Chips - Haddock and chips! Yumm! Too many fries for fish size...would need to order more fish - Fish & Chips Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

See all

Blink and you'll miss this Dundas and Coxwell institution. It defines hole in the wall and it's understated interior certainly encourages takeout. Portions are huge though and British Style is one of the best spots in Toronto for authentic fish and chips. They offer a variety sea fare, including traditional favorites like cod, haddock and halibut. Most meals are priced in the $10 range. Located at 73 Coxwell Ave. at Dundas St. E. read more

Pollock & chips, $5.99. Haddock & chips, $7.05. Poutine, $4.85. Haddock fish had some hard parts. Fries were authentic and really good. Poutine was ok. For the price, it was worth it. Old-school, wrapped in paper. read more

At first glance this seems like authentic enough fish& chips place. The fish and chips come wrapped in brown paper( not recycled newsprint). I am not sure what kind of oil they use, but I had lard like taste in my mouth for about an hour and half after eating here. The portions aren't bad and the fries are decent but the lard taste is disappointing. Pre packed mass produced tartar sauce doesn't help things either. I have had better fish and chips in local pubs. read more

I ventured in mid week shortly after 6pm. There were a few people eating in and I noticed many came for takeout. So I put my order in. While I was waiting, more people came in for pickup or they would get calls for pickup. Eventually, there was 5 other people waiting. I got my order within 15-20 minutes. The pollock was ok for $5.99. It was on special. It was very doughy and lacked flavour. The haddock on the other hand was very good and only $1 more. The Handcut fries were soft, moist, fresh and delicious. They offered ketchup, tartar sauce, white vinegar, malt vinegar for self serve in packets on the counter. I would definitely order from there again. The halibut was priced at around $10.50 so will have to try it next time. read more

It is British Style and it is very reasonably priced for such good quality of food. read more

British Style Fish & Chips - Halibut & chips - Fish & Chips Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Food is yummy not too greasy and the price is amazing for the potion you get. Best to call in first for take out and always get their house made tarter sauce. read more

Which Fish and Chips is the best in Toronto is one of those things that will be argued for a millennium but I prefer to say "It depends what type of Fish and Chips I'm in the mood for and how far do I want to go." Do I want the almost tempura like batter from Reliable, do I want the thick, not crisp but truly crunchy batter of Harbord etc etc.... I have not even began to talk about the chips, thick or thin, level of crispness etc etc................. When I'm in the mood for a relatively thin and crisp batter and really tasty fries I call ahead for a pick up and head over to British Style. I have only ever had the Halibut and Chips and have found it above average but a little inconsistent. For the most part it has been not excessively greasy, well cooked and quite tasty. I have gotten fish that was overcooked and greasy but they were extremely busy both times so I tend to forgive them these 2 discretions, plus as someone said maybe the oil was in dire need of changing, who knows but I've received more good than bad so I continue to go. TIP : If you are going to call ahead for a pick-up try and get there on time. The one time I got there about 10 minutes too late the fish had been sitting in the bag, tightly wrapped up and by the time I got home the fish had been sitting in the bag steaming for about 20 minutes and the batter had lost most of it's crispness and the fish continued to cook in the hot steamy bag. That was not a good F&C dinner, overcooked fish and steamed batter, but I think it was my fault. (unless it was overcooked to begin with but I won't blame them for that cause I don't know) read more

This place looks sketchy, but the fish they are serving up is delish. Greasy, yet light and flaky. The chips are pretty good too. I think this place changed owners or something. A few years ago, it was written up everywhere, and they even deep-fried Mars bars and had amazing homemade tarter sauce. Don't think they do that anymore, but thankfully the taste of the fish and chips has stayed the same. read more

It's almost a hole in the wall but the food is was fresh and delicious and not greasy!! The prices are reasonable. I really liked the halibut fish and chips! read more

British Style Fish & Chips - Halibut fish & chips! - Fish & Chips Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

True, authentic, British style fish & chips! Had the 'Haddock & Chips', sets you back $7.75 (tax included). Generous portions, couldn't finish mine. Comes tightly wrapped up in paper, the batter crispy and just the right thickness, and the chips are classic thick cut. Delicious, and not overly greasy - just right! Dine in on plates with cutlery, or take home. Ketchup, vinegar and salt all complimentary and sitting on the counter. A little gem, well worth the stop. read more

Very good food, good pricing, only issue is parking, but they do encourage you to phone in your order for fast pickup. Dine in is an option, take out is what everyone seems to do. Food is always fresh, fish is always excellent, staff are always great. read more

Truly fantastic fish & chips. Huge portions - biggest we've ever seen in the city, and for incredibly good prices. Chips are incredibly crisp and the fish portions are huge and crisp. Not sure why the other reviewers were complaining about greasiness - um, deep fried food that's greasy? Isn't that the point? Honestly, this place is one of the best parts about living in this 'hood. :) read more

Friendly service and great batter on their fish. Nice and crispy with a large helping of fries. This tiny hole-in-the-wall has limited seating (~10 seats). Definitely give this place a try. read more

My first priority when seeking out good fish and chips , is of course a nearby police station. BSF&C succeed on both counts.To know my safety is assured as I douse my malt vinegared fish in tarter sauce , just adds to the overwhelming sense of well being this place provides. read more

British Style is in my top 3 for fish and chip places in Toronto. The batter is very light and crispy. It never hinders the flavour of the fish. You get a nice sized piece of halibut with your meal. The fries are always fresh cut and are cooked to perfection! They have Halibut, Haddock, And Cod. They also have shrimps and chicken fingers. I always get the Halibut and Chips and they are top notch. Don't hesitate to try British Style you won't be disappointed! read more

This place is real old school with great fish! Don't forget the tar-tar sauce on the counter.

It was exactly how I expect. Their service was pretty nice and also their prices were not much. I can suggest to who think go there.

Decent fish and chips joint. Used to go once a week but the quality started going so we haven't gone in a while. Huge portion of chips.

The Fish and Chips are reasonable, although you'll find better in many places. My issue is the customer service, it's horrible. I got there, ordered my food, then watched in disbelief as the guy behind the counter went on to take 3 more lengthy orders after me *and* cashing them both out, before starting to make any food... maybe that works for him, but I'm hungry, and in a bit of a rush, and am not up for waiting to watch him work on 3 other orders when I was there first. The place is entirely unclean, hot in the summer, cold in the winter, I wouldn't eat there even if you *can* stomach the food. read more

Definitely the best fish and chips in Toronto. Maybe even the GTA. It looks quite shady but there is a police station across the street so it is really safe. It does get busy but you can phone ahead and place your order which is a really good idea if you don't want to wait too long. read more

The food here is really really good. However, over the the past year, the portion of fish seems to have decreased but it still tastes great! read more

Really greasy fish and chips. Well okay, the fish was greasy and the chips were decent. Methinks a oil change was in order. Huge portions however-you can easily get a greasy order of fish and chips for $7. (haddock) read more

Thought I would try this place since it was Friday and didn't want to drive to olde York on Laird. Oh boy do I wish I did. Ordered haddock and chips $7.50. Very reasonable price. But the fish was non existent under a 1 inch of greasy mushy no flavour batter. The chips were cutthick not crispy and undercooked. The lot went in the garbage. Complete let down. read more

Ordered from there twice. If you like greasy breaded and fried fish it's quite good and not expensive.

We had the haddock and chips with some clams... very light batter, really delicious.

This was really good. Halibut and chips, shrimps, onion rings, poutine. All really good. A bit greasy and the poutine needed more gravy, but taste was the top fish and chips I've had and the shrimp were deveined thankfully, so delicious. read more

Not as good as Reliable but not as expensive either. If you're craving fish & cops (they're across the street) you won't be disappointed.
