We were in the area and decided to give this place a try after reading such high reviews.
I was a little skeptical at first (we were the only customers at 3PM on a Sunday) but giving this place a try ended up being the best decision we made.
We ordered the halibut meal for two which came with four pieces of fish, fries and a side of coleslaw. The perfect portion. The fish was crispy and a perfect mix of batter and fish. In the words of my bf: "this is the best fish and chips I've had in a while, everything on this dish tastes good!" Honestly, I have to agree with him. It was delicious and I'm glad I gave this place a try.
Would definitely return to this hidden gem if I'm in the area again. -

It's ranked one of the top 3 places for Fish & Chips (in Richmond Hill) for a reason. Thankfully when it comes to fish, it's not hard to find dining companions.
We visited over the weekend and this place did not disappoint. The laid back, casual atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The menu is pretty standard for a fish and chip place, they have cod, Haddock and Halibut either breaded or grilled and served with salad and/or fries.
We all ordered halibut (some grilled, some breaded). The breading was light and fluffy. Not overly oily as you sometimes get with breaded fish. Fish was light and flaky. The feedback on the grilled was that it was slightly saltier than the diners liking but overall fresh and great quality. The vegetables in the salad were fresh and generous. The fries were (again!) not oily and crispy.
Price point was reasonable. The pieces of fish aren't huge so some of us would order two pieces next time.
This place is worth the drive. It's small, casual, humble and the food is delicious! No wonder it's loved. -

I love fish and chips, so when I saw this mom and pop shop on yelp with such a high rating, I had to drive out of my way to check it out. I'm glad I did!
Ordered the Haddock one piece special for $8.95 which includes a drink. I must say, it was incredibly delicious! It reminded me of the high quality fish and chips I had while in Maldives for my honeymoon. It was that good!
The fish was a generous portion, perfectly cooked and wasn't dry inside, and the batter was light and crispy. I can't find this experience anywhere around here except for St Lawrence Market downtown.
The fish was served on a bed of fries... a ton of fries! These fries are crispy on the outside, and very potatoey on the inside. There's vinegar and malt on the side to dress them up, too.
Coleslaw was top notch as well. Not too acidic and not too creamy. It was perfect to my taste.
Lastly, the tartar sauce was just the right amount and really enhanced the fish.
The service was friendly and made me feel right at home.
If you love fish and chips, you gotta check this place out!
Ps there is lots of free parking in the plaza lot. -

I really wanted to eat fish and chips that day. I was by Yonge and Elgin Mills and we spotted "York Fish & Chips" as we are finishing up our cigrette a nice eldery man stopped and chatted explained how last Sunday he wanted to eat here and unfortunately they were closed on Sunday's and referred us to Amy's Fish & Chips that was close by; he explained to us how now he is a regular customer at Amy's, I am so glad for his input because we did go to Amy's Fish & Chips and I dont regret our decision. I am actually glad York Fish & Chips by Elgin Mills was closed because I was forced to go there to eat knowing I already didnt like the taste of the food at that location.
Amys Fish & Chips family restaurant is a cozy atmosphere and the young male waiter is very friendly and polite, Amy came out to take our order (Halibut for 2) she was super friendly and knows how to make a great crispy batter. The food came out quick and the taste was deliciously amazing and the portion was a good size.
I will diffently be returning and will recommend Amy's fish and chips to family and friends the price is great and the staff is excellent.
Thank you for the delicious meal on Sunday -

Been here once for opening as well as recently. Gotta say I'm impressed that they maintained quality all this time.
Ordered the Halibut Meal for 2 for ~$25 and it was enough. The fish is cooked really well and since it's not very salty or strong, I can actually finish all of the fries without feeling like I need a coke to wash all the sodium down. The fish is crisp on the outside yet surprisingly soft and fluffy on the inside, makes for a rather satisfying bite each time. Fries are pretty average, no complaints here.
There aren't too many seats so be wary of that. Service is prompt and friendly overall. Lots of parking in the plaza as well.
Don't forget to check in on Yelp for the extra 10% off, which is really the icing on top. If you haven't tried this place before, give it a shot, it's great food at reasonable prices.
