McCowan Fish & Chips

Ambiance makes you feel like you're in the 1960s, but not run down. Clean, small place that makes excellent crispy and fresh halibut fish. Their fries are homemade and not too salty, crispy on the outside and soft inside. Family run, 1 server, 1 cook, and really friendly service.

Started coming here years ago, and they have provided consistently good food at a consistently fair price. It's hard to find a good chippie in Toronto, but this place definitely is among the best in the east side... and arguably THE best! Their shop itself is nothing special, but the friendly service by the family that owns it suffices to provide warmth and welcome. Sorry, no photo. I ate it too quick...

The most amazing fish and chips you can possibly get in Scarborough! No doubt. Also friendliest family owned service. While we ate an old lady expressed how her and her late husband used to frequent their restaurant. After her late husband’s passing she still came to relive the good memories they had at this restaurant! We only got to try the cod and haddock, I preferred the cod since it was a fish that was smoother and more moist. Yet the batter was still super crispy!

No frills, fish, and chips stop with a small dine in area. Their prices have increased every 6 to 9 months. This is my first time getting take out, and half my cheese from my poutine was stuck to the packaging.

My go-to fish & chips spot! The batter on the fish is so light and delicious. They use the same batter on their onion rings - which are even better than the chips, in my opinion. Portion sizes are huge and prices are extremely reasonable. Family-owned spot, the lady working there is so sweet! Cash and debit only at this place.

Aug 16/23 Felt like having fish and chips for dinner. So my son and I decided to come here and eat in. Ordered the family package halibut- comes with 4 pieces of fish French fries for 2 and gravy. It was delicious as usual. My son was impressed since he has not had it from here before. Wish I was around the area more- LOL! Apr/23 Had a craving for fish & chips today. We drop by for some halibut and chips with their gravy. The batter was light and fish moist but I think next time I will go in a bit after they open. When their fryers are heated up properly it will produce a better finished product. Chips tasted great as usual but could have been a bit more crispy. I certainly will be back. Prices have increased from 6 months ago but it is expected.

My family's favourite local fish and chips place. The halibut is nice and flaky while the chips (thick-cut fries) are crisp on the outside, soft on the inside. The portions a decent size and neatly packaged; leftover fries will keep well for toasting later. And very polite, friendly staff!
