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.

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!

Despite my disappointment of the Fish & Chips I did absorb the Lunchtime vibe and the obvious…read morepopularity of this place which must be based on the overall satisfaction of its regular clientele. It has a fairly wide ranging menu and the selection of oysters available was excellent and my companion enjoyed her choice of the Raspberry Point. Understanding this is not a primarily a fish & chip establishment I did, based on my experience from the UK, probably set the bar too high or this was a one off scenario. The haddock had the texture of a pre-frozen product and the batter unappetizing, thick and greasy. The chips were likely refried, thin, small and pre-salted which a previous reviewer on Trip Advisor also noted. The Coleslaw was DOA. Service was courteous and attentive although my dish took 20+ minutes to arrive but likely due to it being a busy time. I'm grading my dish 2 out of 5. However that being said I would and will likely return to sample another item. Reservations are recommended even at lunchtime to avoid sitting (comfortably) at the bar.

Always friendly, the people who run this tiny shop tend to remember their customers. The spices that they sell in here are delicious, and they tend to sell interesting drinks and candies from all over. If you are a student in Niagara, make sure to check this place out. If you are not a student and just want to try something different, you can't go wrong here.

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.

Wow, there is a…read moredining section known as Pane Fresco with a variety of freshly prepared food and a coffee/latte/tea desserts station. We have been here twice for lunch recently. I didn't like the pizza that I had on my first visit but on my second visit, I really liked their soup and sandwich. I've tried the clam chowder and Butternut squash soups and both were delicious. If you like soup and sandwich, they have a really good combo deal. A small soup and 1/2 sandwich for $8.99 and both are good portions. I've only tried their Prime Rib on Bianco and egg salad wrap. I really liked the Prime Rib sandwich as the meat was juicy with tasty toppings like crispy onions and gouda cheese...just perfect! I have a feeling this will be my favourite but I'll have to try a few more before I conclude this. I was very impressed that the dining area was so clean. There were staffs throughout lunch time that kept cleaning the table. I'm not sure if there is a dining area at the other Fortinos locations. I'll be sure to update my review once I get a chance to check these locations out. Great place for a quick lunch or a coffee break!
