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!

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.

A-1 Meat Shop In…read moreterms of butchers and providers of unbelievable meat (including Halal meat) A-1 is at the top of my list. Ever since I first had a taste of their pre-marinated meat, I knew it would be a lifelong partnership between us. A-1 started in England and was very successful, so much so that they opened one location in Vancouver and then another. With continued success they opened up a location in Brampton and have been hard sorting peeps out since. From the shop I or my peers will order multiple pounds of the following and proceed to BBQ it via indirect heat for upwards of 35-45min. This ensures that the chicken remains tender juicy and not dry and burnt/charred. Yellow Chicken Wings: This is my favourite marinade at A-1, it is stunningly sweet spicy and savory. Many a time have I eaten multiple pounds of these wings in one sitting, they are so good once you have one you can not stop. This meat is worthy of converting vegetarians. Red Chicken: You may be thinking tandoori but it's not exactly tandoori. I would say it definitely has some tandoori influence, but is definitely A-1's proprietary marinade. Effin' delicious. This chicken is typically available in drumstick, legs, breasts and wings. Red Fish: The fish they use is White Fish and it has the same rub as the chicken above. This item is borderline unreal and if you follow the indirect heating procedure you will ensure you get the most out of this fish. The key is to not overcook it and move it around too much, or the fish will break apart and become dry. Other than the above A-1 also has regular chicken, lamb and other meats for sale. The Brampton location typically has their Red Chicken drumsticks in a rotisserie throughout the day to satisfy patrons who can't wait until they get home to cook the chicken. Order a few pieces from the rotisserie and they will hit it up with garama masala, lemon and massive chunks of onion...Heavenly. The dudes that work at A-1 are very nice people and patient with you if you're a first timer. The prices are very reasonable for the quality and flavour of the meat, the storefront and atmosphere is approachable and clean, and their website is solid with great pics, pricing and even recipes. Definitely my favourite BBQ resource.
