Best fish n chips this side of NZ. My Mum is English and for her to rave about any fish & chips…read moreover here, its gotta be good! This is the only place we will go to now. The Halibut is NEVER greasy, the batter is nice and crispy, never gooey and overly thick like other places. The fries are always cooked to perfection and near impossible to find a burnt one. The Owner is super friendly and always greets us with smiles and hugs. You get great food for a great price, Highly recommended! Ash & Jill/Ajax

Service was slower than expected...even considering the rush, and a little unorganized. If someone was going the payment only, not trying to also manage everything else, it would have gone much smoother. Staff were almost cordial, as much as expected. Looks like a strip mall fish and chips joint, not much to the decor or ambiance...but it is what you'd expect. I would get the fish again.

The coleslaw was fine (does anyone realllllly like coleslaw? Haha) It was $41 for two boxes of fish and chips (1 piece of halibut each) + the gravy + the coleslaw. A little pricey, but I would go again :)

Absolutely mastered the art of fish and chips :) fries seem hand cut and thick. Very yummy! They lose a star because this place is at the top of its fish and chips game but the coslaw needs work. Worst of all, they give you packages tar tar sauce. It's not a hard sauce to make in house, so why not make it fresh to accompany your carefully prepared fish??? I'll be back for sure though!

I wouldn't say I've had Cajun boiled seafood at many places prior, but I think I know where the bar…read moreis. Captain's Boil, the formulaic chain would be the floor and the one I really enjoyed, Lobster Boil Seafood House, in North York would be the ceiling. What I'm about to say about Sea Salt would definitely leave their management a bit "salty". Unequivocally, Sea Salt sits in the deep basement of the pecking order. Sea Salt's standing was easily determined after my first spoonful of the seafood broil. The sauce was their downfall as they went overboard with the of garlic and not to mention they burnt the garlic. As the Cajun sauce is the soul of a seafood boil, their sauce literally ruined the entire dish and experience. The combo we ordered came with fried calamari and shrimp and fries. The fried calamari and shrimp lacked a bit of "salt", which is rather ironic considering the restaurant's name and neither of the sauce complimented (sweet chilli and ranch) the calamari well. The fries were what you expected it to be. But a little bit too much sauce. The one thing that I liked was you could choose to have the Turkish Salaam Cola as part of your combo drink choice. I didn't think it was all that different from regular cola, but it was nice to try. Service is quite slow here and not super attentive. We had to flag them down various times to get things that should have been provided. We weren't given enough plates to start and we had to request for bibs and disposable gloves. These are pretty standard things at other boil places. In general, the appetizers were better than the seafood boil. The portion of the combo was pretty good so we packed some of it to go. But to put things into perspective, the following day I reheated the food for lunch, and my two kids didn't even touch it (with one of them who had experienced Lobster Boil Seafood house). That tells you something!

I've had this place saved for the longest time and was waiting until I'm in the area to dine here…read more Finally made it and I'm so glad I tried it. First off, women-owned café? You go girls I love it. Came here for dinner and had a hard time choosing what to order as there are so many good options on the menu. Really wanted the calamari & shrimp appetizer but opted in for the shrimp bucket and the fish and chips. I also got a coconut mango drink which was super refreshing and delicious. I thought the fish tacos had a kick of spice added but they were still good. The fries were crispy, which I loved but the highlight for me has to be the shrimp. I loveeeeed the sea salt sauce. Though I usually don't like corn, I loved this one and enjoyed the meal. Would come back here for more for sure!

Our hungry stomachs brought us here for the Wednesday Cod fish n chips special for $14.95. You get a jumbo breaded cod fish, fresh cut fries, and coleslaw. I like how the fish was not overly greasy and they used fresh oil in their deep fryer. This food really hit the spot and satisfied our cravings. The restaurant is bright and open concept. The server was nice and she refilled our ice waters. I recommend coming here if you are looking for fish n chips fix.

To be fair, the majority of these stars belong to our server, Sophia. She was absolutely amazing…read more We were greeted immediately upon entering and she was attentive the entire time we were there. I do like that the menu provides caloric details... or maybe I don't! :) They offer every combination of cod, haddock and halibut with sides. They also offer hake, which I've never heard or before. They have quite a wide variety of other items on their menu so I reckon there's something for everyone. You can have your fish deep-fried but they have grilled options available as well. I also noticed that they have a full breakfast menu which includes an eggs benny! I'll have to come back to check that out. The restaurant is open, bright and clean. You can dine in or grab a takeaway. I think the prices are fair based on the various fish options. You're always going to pay more for halibut (which I prefer) but the haddock, cod and hake are considerably less expensive. Overall, the meal was okay but as mentioned above, the stars go to Sophia. Customer service is definitely this girl's vocation. She was quick, attentive and just gave off good vibes.

Likely an unpopular opinion but…read more.. I saw this restaurant mentioned on social media and based on what was said, I really wanted to try it. When went on a Saturday evening and there was quite the line! We were advised of the process by some of the regulars and we made our way to the front to place our order. And then waited. I was amazed by the amount of orders being sent out. Surely it had to be every bit as good as what I'd heard about online. We ordered two halibut with fries and mushy peas to go. Maybe it would have been better had we'd stayed and eaten there though. The batter on the first was not crispy but the fish was quite meaty. I was definitely not a fan of the mushy peas. Apparently this place has been around for decades but this was the first I'd heard of it even having lived in Pickering for 30 years. I'm not sure how I missed it before. I'm not sure what the hype is all about. As I said, likely an unpopular opinion but I doubt I'll come back. I will say though, the staff and service was amazing.

Returned to this place after two years, we moved. Ordered a cheeseburger and poutine, first of all,…read morethe place got super dirtier than I remembered, The guy who's taking the order he's mean, dirty looking and super rude. For two items was $22, That's beyond insane. Burger was small and tasteless. The topping counter is dirty and the vegetables looks like it was thrown out at no frills. The gravy on the poutine is filled with MSG and put me into a coma straight away it looks nothing like the picture. If I could give this place a -1000 I would, stay away from this place. Safe to say I threw everything out.

I've long since moved back to Durham, so I set my eyes on the Ajax location. We headed over for lunch on a Saturday. The sun was shining and the patio was calling us! After a look at the menus, we were delighted to see that they had brunch until 3pm! That sealed the deal. My man ordered Our Original Benny and I chose Brekky Pie. Even though we hadn't eaten breakfast yet, we couldn't resist ordering a pint. The been menu was impressive and diverse. I tried Shock Top and he tried Red Stripe. He LOVED the eggs benedict. He used all of his homefries to eat ALL of the sauce. His plate was clean in record time....and then he started eating MY homefries. GRR! My Brekky Pie was delicious. The pastry was flaky and tasty. The scrambled egg inside was full of fresh veggies an Guinness bratwurst...holy crap. I'd like to try those brats alone, because they were DAMN good. The service was great and did not hesitate to offer suggestions when we were unsure. I really liked this place. It had a great vibe. I'd like to try more of their food and beer selection! It's nice to see that pub food doesn't only consist of nachos and wings!
