I really hate leaving low reviews but this was 4.5 stars so my expectations were high. Granted…read morethere has been no reviews in awhile, we thought we'd try this place out for seafood since they are a "fish market" so we figured the seafood would be fresh. Ordered the haddock dish & chips cuz that seemed like a food standard to act as a base. Also ordered the paella cuz who can resist a good paella? The fish and chips were super greasy. Ugh. There was a pool of grease and I had to use several napkins to soak up all the grease. The fish and chips were nothing special which would have been a 3 star but the grease factor dropped it to 2.5. The paella was good. The seafood fresh and hot. and the rice had an excellent flavor. The portion was a bit small so I'd give it a 3/5. Wait staff took our order, brought it, and then the check. Never came back to check on us. They were nice tho. If I lived in the area, I wouldn't come back. Will stick to my favorite fish & chips shop in Pacifica, CA!

Another one of these little shops on Somerset St. that you probably wouldn't stop in to unless you…read morelived near there. Fortunately I do live near there so have been there a few times. The Ha Long is simple, yet complicated all at once. Simple in that they sell fish, and a little bit of seafood, but mostly just fish. Big fish, little fish, weird fish, wonderful fish, all sorts of fish. It's sold whole (no fillets from what I can see), and cheap, usually a few dollars per pound with all sorts of selection (as long as you want fish). Essentially you point to what you want, say how much (or how many fishes) you want, they weigh it, clean it, and put it in a bag for you. It sounds simple but it's complicated as things like prices can be lost in translation, I once thought I was paying $1.89/pound but it turned out to be more like $4/pound for Bass, I think I need to practice my Vietnamese. No matter, the quality is good, the selection is good, the service is friendly, and the prices are very good. The also sell some herbs and other things you might want to have with fish (such as lemons) so it can be a one stop shop for your fish dinner, although you may want to brush up on your filleting skills as they don't do it for you (I don't think).

My partner and I shared a bowl of the clam chowder and it was spectacular. Almost wish I had gotten my own bowl, haha. We also got the PEI muscles in the garlic white wine sauce and the shellfest special seafood paella. The muscles were amazing and the calamari on top of the paella were delectable.

This spot is well hidden, I thought it was only a fish store. My friend made me discovered. I had a…read moretuna poke bowl it had lots of fresh veggies and the tuna was good. However I didn't find it very flavourful. Think I should have went with a tartare instead. The sauce was very light even if I put all of it. The star of the night was the lobster poutine. Price depends on the market I believe it was 75 for the small one. Its a good size. I did not try the lobster but I did try my partner's poutine. The sauce was really good not your typical brown sauce, It was creamier. I enjoyed it a lot. It was not too busy Sunday night but my friend told me it was full the last time she had been (maybe a Saturday). They have a little store connected. Lots of different fish to try I got some soup to go.

A historic fixture of Ottawa, the fish market has reached landmark status…read more The aura and atmosphere of the place makes you know instantly you are somewhere special. While I'm not a huge fish-eater, it is hard not to appreciate the quality and breadth of the market. For appetizer's, the baby shrimp cocktail or the Norwegian Salmon slices are great to share with a group of friends. The choice of Cajun fish is suprisingly good, with the Halibut Creole being a personal favourite, as it has a spicy kick that is soothing to the taste-buds. For a big group, check out the Maritime Platter ($50), which literally has a bit of everything; a fresh whole lobster, fresh sea scallops, jumbo tiger shrimp, alaskan queen crab legs. The Ottawa Fish Market is just a fun place to go and experience the best seafood has to offer.

It's not easy to find a fish house, even a mediocre one. So far as I can see, The Fish Market is…read morethe only fish specialty house in the principal tourist area of Ottawa. Contrary to what a few other reviewers said, the place is spotless. The wide seats are padded and there is considerable space on the table even for two people. (Many other restaurants squeeze you in to maximize profits.) The appetizer fish cakes and codfish cakes are properly spiced but seemed over-cooked and dry. The blackened catfish is superb, also well spiced. Waiter service is professional. Will return the next day.

Dinner with a business colleague and we were looking for some great food and location. Whalesbone…read morewas recommended by a coworker and it hit the target dead center! Walked in and got seated near the bar, in a booth type of table. Seating was well diversified with several large tables, bar seats, and plenty of 2 and 4 tables. For a pub style place it was busy but not overly loud. The service was spot on. The servers took great care to get drinks and bread out to the table quickly. Water glasses were never empty. The food selection was very good, with many options. A hearty French Onion soup, with croutons, cheese, and a deliciously flavored broth was first. Followed by a crispy salad, with the right blend of added veggies, really hit the spot. Entrees all looked good, with plenty to choose, including meats, chicken, fish, and vegan options. I chose the roasted Atlantic Salmon, with fall veggies. Added the roasted Broccoli and Corn Ribs. The sides alone were capable of being combined to make a meal. The Salmon was fresh, roasted in juices with a nice smokiness. Dessert could not be avoided. Churros with a Carmel like sauce to dip. My coworker chose the lemon cheesecake, which was described as being just like Moms. Looking forward to going back!

You are not legally required to stop for anyone other than the police. I was absolutely not shoplifting and even offered for them to call police and wait. I said I would allow the police to search my bag, my purse, and compare it to my receipt. They declined my offer. I'm a 108-pound woman and didn't deserve to be roughed up by this man.

I love Farm Boy. It was nice to be in the city where Farm Boy started…read more I had had lunch at Pelican Seafood Market & Grill and decided to visit Farm Boy next door. I didn't need anything, but had to walk off a good meal and wanted to browse. I loved the fresh, organic herbs that greeted me outside the store. They looked cheerful and healthy. The coconut raspberry crumble pie greeted me. I wanted one, but was so full that I didn't pick one up. If you want to spend less at a supermarket, drop by with a full meal in your tummy. I visited this store on Canada Day eve. Naturally, there were butter tarts and all things Canadian everywhere. It was cool. I always loved seeing the swinging gorilla in the produce section. Visiting a Farm Boy isn't complete for me until I see it! My Portuguese egg tarts were there. The hot foods looked yummy. The tofu coconut curry was so fragrant that I stood there and inhaled. There is lots of parking. However, this plaza (it's dubbed as a mall, but it's a plaza in my eyes) does get busy. I parked as far from this supermarket as possible and all worked out well. (231)

I love Farm Boy. I love that's it's local, it's fresh, the staff are all super friendly (so much so…read morethat I think having an outgoing, friendly personality is a requirement to work there) and I love the line of products they carry - they don't have a lot of dried or preserved goods in the store, but what they do have is great quality. I also Love the salad bar, both hot and cold! You can get a loyalty card that slowly earns a free salad each time you spend over $5, but keep in mind that you only get one "stamp" per purchase - so if you are buying several salads, all over $5, you will still only get one credit for that purchase. Understandable, but as someone who appreciates earning these kinds of deals, I wish it were a little easier to earn - but I suppose we should not complain about freebies!

They had lots of imported items from places like the UK, Poland, and Japan. They also have some American items that are harder to find in Canada. It's fun to poke around. Prices are a bit on the higher end, but that's the premium for rarer items. The place is bright and clean. Staff are laid back and friendly. Like every other store in the Byward Market, there's no parking, so you have to park on the street or in one of the lots/parkades.

Sweet, savoury and possibly things in between! There's a good selection of chips and candies. There's also a lot of drinks and limited edition cereals. What a blast to be in here. I think my rating is more on the nostalgia as I won't have a chance to try most of the snacks in here. Let me know what you end up trying!
