We told them what we look for in an oyster and let them choose for us. I can now safely say, I have seen the face of the Lord and felt their loving touch... Perfection! We shall return. Amen. read more

Mike's Fish Market - Staff-picked selection of oysters. Perfection! - Seafood Markets Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Fresh fish market in St Lawrence market. They sell a variety of seafood ranging from different flavours of smoked salmon, to oysters, to fish, etc. I was drawn in by the freshly shucked oysters at this fish market. You pick your oysters first then pay for your order. Opted for half a dozen + a fresh uni that was only $6! The uni was such a steal! After paying, my order was ready, shucked pretty quickly, and sat down to enjoy. They have a variety of communal sauces that you can use, like cocktail, horseradish, red wine mignonette, and more. The seafood was fresh and delicious to eat on the spot. Worth every penny! read more

This seafood stand is located inside St. Lawrence market. They offer fresh seafood such as sashimi and oysters. I tried their oysters ($4 each), scallop sashimi and salmon sashimi. Overall it costs $30+ which is reasonable Toronto downtown price. The scallop was not fresh but the salmon and oyster were pretty fresh. The portion of salmon sashimi was decent and I especially liked the Fanny Bay oyster (more fatty compared to other types). read more

Ordered some oysters, and it was pretty good. I was watching the staff shocking the oysters, and he did a great job with picking out the oysters that was fresh, and while alive. I appreciated that so much. The ambience of this place, expected to be like a typical indoor farmers market, the are seating areas throughout the facility, and you can treat yourself to any of the garnishes around the tables nearby. I think I prefer this place for oysters over the other stall at St. Lawrence market. read more

We stopped in for some food and education on east coast oysters. Upon entering the stores space we were greeted by the proprietor who then proceeded to share his knowledge of oysters. I had a favorite one in mind and with that info he was able to pull together a nice assortment of tasty options. My favorite was the French Kiss. BB read more

Pro-tip: Join their frequent visitor program to recoup value from the pensive oysters. Service: 4* Taste: 5* Price: 3* Value: 3* Location: 5* Stopped by here for lunch before heading to the airport. Well worth it. We ordered two dozen oysters of various kinds. The setup was nice at a small set of bar stools with ample types of hot sauce. While expensive, the oysters were delicious, flavorful, fresh, and meaty. I would return. read more

Wonderful spot to get fresh seafood! Initially stopped because I was intrigued by their oysters (They also do take credit card). we were helped by a wonderful young man who gave us descriptions and recommendations for oysters. Note: you can order 1 of each oyster; no minimum! After downing some yummy oysters, I walked 3 feet along their counter and saw they offered a variety of cured lox. So I got a tasting of each since they are willing to sell just 1 piece of each! Made a tasting board and it was wonderful! Great service and good product make it worth stopping by. read more

Just exploring St Lawrence and couldn't help but to see people sitting around shucking oysters. Staff were beyond kind and helpful and the oysters are great. Extremely fresh and clean. Don't think you can really take any recommendations since everyone's got their own personal preferences. The only recommendation is that you gotta give them a shot. Did an order of 12 and got 1 free! Randomly selected based on the display and it's nice that they even write down on the tray which ones are which! read more

We had the best oysters here and the prices for a dozen were great. You won't get the ambiance of a restaurant and if you can get past views of the fish counter while you sit sandwiched in between the cooler and the bar then go! Awesome place read more

Mike's Fish Market - a variety of seafood - Seafood Markets Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Mike's was the sole bright spot in our visit to the St. Lawrence Market (see my review on SLM for more details) and it wasn't just because we got to eat oysters for breakfast!! We were cruising around and discovered that the fish markets will shuck your oysters. We approached the first one we saw a little tentatively, not entirely sure that they would be shucking oysters at 10am. Everyone looked like they were still busy opening shop. Anyway, when a little Filipina lady saw us, she quickly bustled over and offered her help. After not seeing any in the rest of the market, we very much appreciated her hospitality. We ended up getting a dozen oysters (2 each of 6 varieties) and she quickly and expertly shucked them for us. (There were a few shards but no one's perfect.) Their standing bar was nicely stocked with hot sauces, sea salt, pepper, ponzu, etc. but she also ended up bringing lemon wedges, wasabi and three mignonettes out for us. This was interesting especially since we had to BUY the cocktail sauce?? Anyway, oysters were fresh and tasty. We slurped up our first breakfast and went on our merry way. read more

This is my go to spot for seafood at St. Lawrence Market. For the years I lived downtown I would walk here to get my various fish, smoked salmon and oysters. I always cook a good meal from here! I also love their spacious oyster bar. I feel other fish markets don't have a good designated area for me to enjoy freshly shucked oysters compared to Mike's. I went just this past weekend and the staff helping me out were amazing. I described what I liked and he helped me pick what he thought I would enjoy. He wasn't wrong! I ordered 5 and thought it was enough, but came back for a second order. Ha! It was super fresh and delicious. I highly recommend them if you're looking for good seafood. read more

Mike's Fish Market - Homemade gravlax using a salmon fillet from Mike's Fish - Seafood Markets Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I have to give these folks five stars for freshness of product, respectful handling of the fish (very important to me) and the cleanliness levels. We treated ourselves to gravlax --- they have several types - we went with basic tried and true. OMG ... we went with the steelhead. Luscious. Bought a piece of halibut (my personal fave) and it was fresh and firm. Excellent place. Their standards have remained solid over a long period of time. read more

Bought two kabobs with salmon and halibut. Terrible. No taste. Dry like they had been frozen. And extremely expensive. Definitely not worth it read more

Mike's Fish Market - Kabobs way over priced - Seafood Markets Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

It's always a treat to meet the owner of ANY establishment. Mike and his staff were super friendly and oyster enthusiasts. With Mike's assistance, I was able to determine that I like briny oysters with a creamy finish. The time we spent at the fish market was educational and informative. When I get around to visiting Toronto again, this will definitely be one of my goto spots for oysters at St Lawerence Market. read more

Top 3 for oysters overall in Ontario. Best value for oysters in Toronto. Most of the oysters come from the east coast. Always tons of varieties and always fresh. Many of them arrive fresh daily. You stand and eat the shucked oysters in the store. It's not the most romantic place for oysters. But it's pretty cool to be around all the fish and seafood. Everything is fresh here so you don't have to worry about awful smells. Always ask the staff for recommendations. They will point you to the freshest and best. read more

Probably my favourite place in St. Lawrence Market for picking up fresh or frozen seafood. Their prices are in line with every other seafood place in the market, but Mike's Fish Market stands out from the rest, in my opinion, because of their excellent, second to none customer service. Their staff is very knowledgeable and can answer any questions you may have regarding how to prepare whatever it is your buying from them...and if the person you ask doesn't know, you can bet they'll find someone on staff who is more than willing and happy to help. They have a very large selection of fresh fish and some fish dishes that are oven or grill ready...stuffed calimari or salmon, marinated fillets...it's all here. PLUS their frozen seafood selection is outta control. I love this place. read more

Stumbled upon this place as my boyfriend and I were exploring the market. One of the guys gave me a sample of the smoked salmon, which was really nice. As we walked around the counter, i was intrigued by the raw oyster bar and my boyfriend and I decided to get a 4 to taste. The workers were very fast, attentive, and very informed and patient as they gave us advice and recommendations on what to try since i had never had oysters. We promptly returned the next day and was met with the same hospitality and service. read more

My favourite fish proprietor in the St.Lawrence Market. The frozen fish freezers are out of this world with variety. The fish burgers are the best in the city. Buy the chipotle mayo sauce to go with them and you will experience an amazing fish burger, better than any beef burger. The crab cakes are a disappointment though, not much flavour. And I've never seen Alaskan King Crab legs that big ever. read more

I was disappointed when I went to purchase two lobsters for the first time at Mike's. The person serving me gave me a lobster that had a broken claw. After boiling it and tasting that particular claw, it tasted extremely salty. I could not eat the claw nor that part of the lobster. The other lobster was fine, but for $44.00 and change for two lobsters, the value was not there. We have purchased sweet tasting and better quality at Loblaws, and much cheaper. I still love St Lawrence market and will continue to buy all sorts of delicious things, not sure I will go back to Mike's. read more
