Mississauga Marketplace Fish & Chips

I lived in the UK for school a couple of years ago, and this place reminds me of my favourite fish & chips joint, which I’d frequent during those late nights studying. In short, an absolutely fantastic, reasonably priced, fish & chips spot that totally exceeded my expectations.
Think of nice, perfectly crispy coating surrounding a good amount of fish (but not overly battered). Really fresh, perfectly cooked, not too fishy, and well-​seasoned. The batter is very, very light (no soggy batter here!), and allows you to really enjoy the flavour of the fish. It’s absolutely delicious. The tartar sauce is also top-​quality. The fries are decent, not outstanding, but overall, taking into consideration the whole combo, with coleslaw, coupled with the decent price point, this is great spot to cure that craving for fish and chips (for those that have fish and chips cravings, anyway).
We visited on a weekday for lunch and it was actually quite busy. Keep that in mind, if you come during the lunch rush — while there are a decent amount of tables, it fills up quickly. For two people, with tax and tip, we paid around $ 24.00.

My second favorite Fish & Chips joint, and that’s only because of personal preference. You can’t go wrong by coming here. The service is super friendly and the waitress is fantastic! I alternate between this place and «Country Fish ‘n’ Chips» depending on what I’m in the mood for. But this place definitely feels slightly on the healthier side, the atmosphere is much nicer, and the fish is a bit more on the filled side.

Tip: It’s located towards Swiss Chalet portion of this large plaza. Plaza is undergoing a facelift, so there aren’t any lit signs, but this unit is beside Bubble Republic. The restaurant itself is much larger than it appears from the outside!
More like a 3.5* based on the Cod. I found the fish itself a bit tasteless, but the Haddock was better!
Confession: Fish & Chips is not something that I crave often, so after this experience, I’ll be good for another 2−3yrs or so.
Prices (~$ 11 w/​chips, depending on fish) are quite decent for the portion size. You will be forcing yourself to finish the piece of fish and if you’re like me, you won’t be able to finish the fries… even if they’re fresh-​cut and really good (when hot)!
Lady who was running the place was very kind and sweet. We ordered, she told us to sit down, she brought the food over — it was served rather quickly — and you pay afterwards.
A very solid place in ‘ssauga for F’nC!

Great service, awesome food. You will always leave happy with their beautifully battered fish and to die for fries!

Service is friendly.
Sitting area is decent.
Food is also good.

Service is very friendly and homey.
My standards for fish and chips come from the UK so I was hard pressed to find a comparable fish n chips place at home. This one definitely does it well.
I got the Haddock special, my go to fish for fish n chips. There is a good batter to fish ratio unlike some other places I’ve eaten at where a lot of the time the meal is wholly batter. The fries are rustic and old school, very appropriate for fish n chips. The tartar sauce was pretty awesome too. The coleslaw was good too, but nothing special.
Overall it’s a pretty decent fish n chips place and I would come again if I get a hankering. Probably will want to try the halibut next.

This is the best fish and chips place in Mississauga I’ve been to. I’ve only had their halibut and chips, and stick to it, though I’d eventually like to try some of their other fish (if I can get past the halibut!)
I’ve only ever gotten take out here but it is served pretty quickly and properly for fish and chips, in a cardboard box. I can’t stand places that use styrofoam as it makes the fish soggy. Thankfully, these guys do it old fashioned!
Their fish is lightly battered and crisp. The fries as delicious and obviously fresh. I also believe they are double fried.
The home made tartar sauce is good, though they usually give you the packets with your to-​go bag, I would like their homemade stuff! It’s much better!

When we walked in, we were seated immediately. However, the server didnt come to take the order for about 10 minutes despite there were only 2 other tables at the time. I was confused and thought maybe we had to go up and order. I got the servers attention to ask this, and that’s when she took our order.
The wait time was short, and the Haddock and chips were very fresh and crispy! The tartar sauce was flavourful and creamy. Although I found the batter to be a little thick, the fish to batter ratio was fair.
Definitely one of the better Fish and Chips I’ve had, and would recommend to others.

Truly the best fish and chips I’ve had in the GTA/​downtown. I ordered the Orange Roughy which had a nice light batter as did the onion rings. The coleslaw was especially nice… just slightly creamy. Super customer service, nice painting of fish on the walls, and only a little eerie because there is no music played and all you can hear is the sizzle of frying fish.

Definitely one of the best fish and chips I’ve had recently.
My mom and I ate here today and we were both pleasantly surprised.
We both ordered the haddock and chips which was «on special» and provided the best value.
$ 12.65 gets you a generous portion of fried haddock, fries, a side of coleslaw and a can of pop.
Haddock is advertised as the «best value», but you can also choose from cod, halibut, salmon or orange roughy for a few extra dollars.
The batter is light and crispy without being overly oily or salty. The fish is moist and flavorful.
The nice thing is that you can actually see your fish cooked to order so you know it’s fresh.
The accompanying fries and coleslaw are also very tasty. Both seem fresh, homemade and never frozen. The coleslaw has a good balance of sweet and sour. The fries are lightly salted but very tasty.
Overall one of the best fish and chips I’ve had in the GTA and definitely a gem of a restaurant in Mississauga.

I’ve been here twice with pretty different experiences.
The first time, the service was terrible. We walked in and the lady asked us if we’d be eating here or getting it to go. We said «here» and she said «okay» and didn’t seat us or anything. We took a seat ourselves and tried to get her attention to order something. She never came to our table and after waiting way too long, we just left the place.
The second time, we decided to give this place another go. This time around, the service was great. Our server was really upbeat, took our orders, and came back once we started eating to ask us how we were doing. We ordered the halibut and chips because it was the daily special and also ordered the salmon and chips. The coleslaw and tartar sauce that it came with were amazing.
I definitely recommend trying their daily specials! Of course, the fish and chips are absolutely drenched in oil but it’s great to go to this place every once in a while.

I wrote a review about a year or 2 ago the halibut fish and chips was great then and still is today.
I love walking in and getting big greetings. The staff are so friendly and quick, not much time spent waiting.
You all must try the food here next time your up at Hurontario and Eglington. Drop in you will not regret it.

I ordered a special item they temporarily had on the menu. The halibut nuggets and chips. It’s a shame because this meal was unbelievable! Maybe because the halibut chunks are smaller but the nuggets were so juicy on the inside and so perfectly crispy on the outside. The super nice lady that works there told me it was only temporary because there shipment of halibut that week only had smaller pieces. I hope they keep them around.
Everyone raves about their fries. While they are good, I just found them ok. The tartar sauce is excellent though. Be sure to ask for extra because you will want to drink it.

So glad when place highly rated on Unilocal comes through. Today is not only a fish-​Friday, but Good Friday, so you can imagine how insane it was inside. In spite of that, staff were still very friendly and didn’t give off an impression of being overwhelmed.
Beautiful, light, flaky batter which does’t retain excessive oil. The haddock was this great long cut which must’ve been near 8″ long.
The tatar sauce may be the best I’ve ever had (and is house-​made). Coleslaw is also right up there too.
The ‘chips’ were excellent. Fresh cut, cooked right and in clean oil (that matters, believe me).
Far and away the best F&C place I’ve been to in the GTA thus far, and frankly, I’m no longer even concerned to continue searching after today.

My mom and I returned from our visit to London, determined to find the best fish and chips back home. It’s been a few months, but we finally got a chance to start our fish and chips adventure.
Our first stop was the Mississauga Marketplace Fish & Chips, which seems to be the most popular in the city. We were here last Monday around noon, and we instantly noticed there were quite a few people in and out, ordering takeout, and others appeared to be regulars enjoying their lunch break.
A simple restaurant with a simple menu, and minimal waiter service. However, it was quick to order and pay, and the servers were friendly. Because it’s fried to order, we waited a bit for the food to arrive at our table.
We ordered the Haddock & Chips Special, which comes with a side of coleslaw and a drink, plus an order of Cod. I personally liked the haddock better because I love eating firm, chunky pieces of fish (especially when it’s fried) and it had more texture to it. The cod was softer and pieces fell apart the moment I ran my knife through it. Both fish tasted fresh though, the batter was also light, and the tartar sauce was delicious. The coleslaw was all right. The fries could have been better…
Onto the next fish and chips shop!

Ordered dinner with three friends on a Monday night. Naturally it was quiet, maybe 5 – 7 others in the place aside from ourselves. We started with calamari which was AMAZING, definitely recommend it. Happy to split it between 4 people.
I ordered halibut only, and received halibut with chips, which was disappointing. Thankfully she only charged me for the halibut. Both the haddock and halibut were good, a little too much batter but no real complaints. I found the chips to be poor quality — don’t want to say refried/​heated, but it did not taste good.
Lastly, our waitress did not come by at ALL during our meal, and the booths are quite high, so no water refills unless you go up to the counter and ask. Generally a decent experience.

This place is sooo good I don’t even want to tell you about it. But I will.
Fresh. Few places leave you with the impression of how fresh the food is. This is one of them.
The food is served so quickly from the friers that my food was still sizzling. And the fish was so nicely cooked, and battered.
When fries are cooked well, they don’t need salt. These are those kind of fries.
No gimmicks here. Simple, focused menu, with simple food preparation that lets the ingredients sing.
This is the best fish and chips place I have been to. And one of the few restaurants worth visiting in Mississauga.

Amazing fish & chips, and great value. I ordered the haddock, and I plan to have the Halibut next. I had it to go and I regret not having it in the store. Staff was a delight.
Pros:
— Excellent fish & chips
— Decent selection
— Tartar sauce was delicious
— Daily specials
Cons:
— Can’t think of any!

I was told by my friend who grew up in the same neighborhood that Mississauga Marketplace was owned by the same people that owned the place we have been going to since we were kids.
The place I am referring to is Renforth Fish and Chips at the corner of Rathburn and Renforth in Etobicoke. Well it turns out he was right because although the owners were not there when I went today, their photo was on the wall.
This place is in the big strip mall at the south east corner of Eglinton and Hurontario in Mississauga. Upon entering there is a huge chalkboard sign at the cash which is essentially the menu as they don’t bring any menus to the table. They are licensed however so I did order a beer.
The choice is simple… Halibut and chips for 2 and add another cod and chips only because this will be lunch and dinner combined.
The food was served fast… In less than 10 minutes and it was fresh and hot. I was in heaven because this food brought me back 3 decades to the place we used to go to when we were still in grade school.
Besides being nostalgic, the fish was damn good and the fries were amazing.
Our server was happy to hear we came to visit from the old neighborhood and she was happy to tell us all about the business and how they now have 4 restaurants. This location however was there first after leaving Renforth.
This was the best fish and chips I’ve had since we left Codmother in San Francisco.
We will definitely come back and I am happy we «returned».

It’s everything they say it is!
My son and I were there for lunch today, we had the haddock and chips with a side order of rice. The haddock was delicious and had a nice light batter. The fries and gravy were certainly tasty. The rice really topped up a good meal. The food arrived quickly and the waiter was friendly.
Can’t wait to come back! :)
