Chippy’s Fish and Chips

The halibut is delicious if you can get any … Last 3 times I’ve tried to order they are sold out … Like you own a fish and chips restaurant how is that possible

I don’t get fish and chips often. This place is alright. I think a little pricey for their portion at regular price. You get a 4oz piece of fish that is pretty thin and covered with lots of batter. Each order comes with lots of fries so one order should fill you up. I really wish they have the option to add an additional piece of fish. I don’t see how hard this would be… Practically every other F&C place gives you 1,2,3 piece options.
As for quality, I’m not very picky with F&C. I mean… deep fried fish and fries would taste very similar in most places. The factors that affect quality would be the batter and seasoning. I like my food light and am glad they don’t don’t too much seasoning to it. You can always season it yourself with condiments. The batter is good.
The location is pretty out of the way for me so I don’t have much incentive to come back. The Battered Fish is much more convenient location for me and I like their prices better so I probably won’t go to Chippy’s again unless I’m in the area. Battered Fish also gives you more options with the coating.

This place is gross.
The food is soaked in oil and the staff looks very dirty. I agree with I. M review. The place is filthy!
A good place (especially that showcases the cooking area) WOULD KEEP IT CLEAN AND HIRE STAFF THAT LOOKS LIKE THEY SHOWER.
Not here. And the owner is a PRICK.

I am a huge fan of Chippy’s… it’s a favorite.
I don’t really eat fish, but the fish looks amazing. What brings me in is the french fries. The are outstanding, and really tasty.
Chippy’s is small, and until recently, they only accepted cash. Seating is limited, and the menus is fish and chips. Not much else.
However the hipster vibe, and the outstanding food make up for the limited menu and limited seating. I give it two thumbs up!

This place is a travesty.
First of all, it’s unclean. The cooking equipment needs a good scrub and the counter by the front window is so greasy the arm of my shirt stuck to it! Oh, and there were flies all over the place.
Secondly, the cost is excessive. They want $ 12 for a four ounce piece of haddock [with chips]. That’s about three dainty bites. They try to make the fish look bigger by pounding it thin, but that just means it absorbs more fat from the fryer.
Thirdly, it’s just not very good. As mentioned above, the fish is greasy and it’s also overwhelmed by the batter. The chips are soggy, and as they cool down they seem to coagulate into a big, mushy ball of carbs.
There was a highlight: the pop was really, really cold… good fridge, I guess.
I was there several years ago, just after they opened and I seem to recall the product was significantly better at the time. It’s basically a tired old place, and not worth a visit, even with the coupon we used.

After going out of our way to stop for fish and chips to take into Trinity Bellwood’s Park I was a little disappointed with the fare — I doubt that the fryers were hot enough so everything came greasy and soggy. Price is such that I expected better. I will give them another chance though because they seemed earnest and service was quick.

This was my second trip here, and the first experience was better. Good fish and chips, but a lot of burned end fries and they charge $ 0.95 for tarter sauce. That’s ridiculous, and bordering on fish and chip blasphemy.
Would still go again, but with tempered expectations

Came here with a few friends on a Saturday afternoon. We each got an order of Halibut & fries ($ 14.99) and my friend and I split an order of Seafood Cakes ($ 8.99). We added on the Tartar Sauce & Garlic Mayo for $ 1 each.
We got our orders pretty quickly and headed to snag a picnic table at the park. The Halibut was a generous two portions each per order, lightly breaded & tasty. The Seafood Cakes were crispy but lacked flavour, I ended up drowning them in the Garlic Mayo. Each of our orders came with a mountain of fries which we couldn’t even finish. Overall the food was decent and can’t beat the location for an outdoor picnic.

Disappointing. Soggy halibut that didn’t taste fresh and had a rubbery texture. Fries were good. Tartar sauce was decent. Coleslaw was ok nothing to write home about. Two stars only because of the fish and price. You can get better fish and chips in town for less.

Came here on a weekend afternoon, was not busy.
I had the Halibut with fries.
The batter is way too thick on the fish. I suspect the oil is not changed often as well. The fish tasted very fishy. Fish taste fishy when overcooked or not fresh.
They charge of tartar sauce. another negative.
Fries were the only good thing about this place.
Frankly, this place is not very good at all.

Ordered the double dunk, seafood cakes, and haddock. With tartar sauce and curry sauce.
Each of the orders came with a ton of fries. Fries were sub-​par and inconsistent. In the same bath, some fries were too soggy while other fries were too crispy.
I enjoyed the double dunk (deep fried fish between deep fried dough, with some mayo type sauce and cabbage). Seafood cakes lacked flavour, but had a nice crunch to them thanks to the breading. Haddock was mediocre.
I thought the tartar sauce was pretty good. Curry was good but I’d rather dip something other than fried fish or chips in it. I felt like the flavours of the fish and curry sauce didn’t match that well.
There’s definitely better fish and chips out there. Came here on a groupon so prices turned out reasonable. Otherwise, prices here seem a bit high for the quality of food you’re getting.

Not bad! Not bad at all. Tried the halibut and it was pretty good. Fries were salted to perfection. Tartar sauce was decent, coleslaw was not the greatest and the service was fast. $ 15 for the fish and chips. I couldn’t finish it, there was a huge portion of fries in the takeout container. Be prepared to be hungry!
Open Sundays until 9. Not really a sit down place — got some window seats so you can people watch as you eat though.
If you see it on Groupon, buy it! However halibut doesn’t include in the Groupon.

Keep in mind that I didn’t go inside, so I can’t speak to the cleanliness of the place, but I have no idea why Chippy’s place gets so many negative reviews. Quite possibly the best Fish & Chips I’ve had in Toronto, and definitely the best tartar sauce! In fact, we had several of the sauces, and they were all terrific! Four of us shared a Double Dunk sandwich, which was decadent, to say the least, but also amazingly tasty!

With a name like Chippy’s Fish and Chips, I would expect a great place for fish and chips, but was a little disappointed. The prices seemed reasonable, but the order of one small piece of battered fish and fries minus the coleslaw (extra $ 1) just didn’t seem worth the price. Plus tartar sauce was an extra $ 0.90! I wouldn’t mind if it tasted great, but it was pretty plain tasting and nothing special — almost as if it was plain mayonnaise with a sprinkling of lemon juice.
Only one staff member working during the noonish hour and thankfully the place wasn’t busy. I would hate to see the place on a busy day when the one staff member has to take orders, handle cash and cook the food. There was a help wanted sign on the window, so could explain the short staff situation.
Staff member was welcoming and friendly upon our entrance, plus patient while we decided on our order. Menu items were standard for a fish and chips place, so we were able to order the basics.
We ordered the haddock, cod and trout, which all appeared greasy. The batter was a bit too greasy for my liking, but the haddock was probably the best of the three since it was fried nicely; plus the fish was flaky and tasty. The trout was probably the greasiest of them all as the grease stained the paper plate right away. Luckily the trout was nice and flaky inside and tasted okay. Whereas the cod wasn’t flavourful at all and didn’t taste fresh. Perhaps we should have splurge extra and got the halibut instead of the cod.
Since we had three orders of fish we had plenty of fries which were cooked to a nice crisp and salted nicely. Probably the saving grace of the fish and chips name.
Perhaps I’ll go back again to try the halibut, but I won’t be rushing back anytime soon.

When I was a kid, there was this small mom and pop shop near our apartment building. It was a diner that made a mean burger, and fries and gravy and best of all — fish and chips. Once a month we would head over and get ourselves a treat. Some fresh fried halibut and chips, all wrapped in newspaper. Unwrapping it, loading up the ketchup and using the newspaper as a plate was always my favourite part.
Ok…I’m lying — my favourite part was definitely stuffing my face. LOL
Chippy’s Fish & Chips serves up the staples that any good fish and chips spot should have, as well as a little extra! Serving halibut, haddock, shrimp, scallops and more — this is a staple spot come summer as most people take their food to go and bring it across the street to Trinity Bellwoods.
The batter is made with 2 bottles of Guiness and each piece is not over battered, and if perfectly fried. The chips are amazing — I could have eaten an entire plate of them alone!
We tried: halibut, haddock, shrimp, scallops and chips and all were tasty! I can’t wait to go back!

Went to Chippys this past Sunday to redeem a Groupon that I had gotten. Didn’t happen to notice that the Groupon couldn’t be redeemed for Halibut… oh well. Anyways, got Haddock instead. The fish was great and crispy, and the fries were awesome too. However, while we were finishing up eating, one of the two guys working there was cutting lemons with a yellow handled knife and dropped the knife on the ground, then picked it up and continued cutting. He also cut his finger slightly and put on a regular flimsy bandaid without washing his hands. Im preeetttttyyyy sure this is unsanitary, and I was kind of instantly grossed out. There were other customers in the restaurant getting take out orders etc so I didn’t really wanna make a scene and bring it up, so I went to their website to send them an email about it. which bounced back because the address isn’t valid anymore.
All in all. had I NOT seen that stuff, I would have rated higher

Love this place. When in trinity bellwoods it’s a must stop. Best fish and chips I’ve ever had. Fresh, and crispy you can’t go wrong. The price is right plus they have a groupon deal for 15 worth thirty for the food if that’s what you fancy. Great bite to grab before lounging or walking in trinity bellwoods :)

This is a good spot to grab take out as there is very minimal seating and no a/​c. So like everyone else who’s reviewed, we grabbed the grub and then hit up Trinity Bellwoods to enjoy the deliciousness at one of the many park picnic tables.
I got the halibut fish and chips (not frozen and delivered that day according to the cashier) to share with my friend. The fish was delicious and was definitely fresh. The batter was crispy and crunchy and not greasy in my opinion. The chips were soooo goooooood. They were thick cut, crunchy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside — just the way I like my fries! I also really liked the containers they came in as not many places use the Chinese takeout containers anymore. They’re so useful because you can take them apart and they become plates (food hack for those who don’t know).
My only real complaint is the steep price tag and that you had to pay extra for the sauces so it really adds up. Overall I enjoyed the food but like everyone else, I’ve had better fish & chips for a cheaper at other places around town. If I was in the area I would get it again however I wouldn’t go out of my way for it.

One word… Rip off. The fish is supposed to be 4oz serving I can promise you it isn’t, because I worked in a f&c joint for years and used to fillet fish.
Batter and fries were soggy and tasted of nothing.
These guys survive on location alone. Overpriced and bad.
You can get better and tastier at any pub in a 10 block radius.
Avoid.

Friendly service. Small place with just eight bar stools, not a place you can bring kids. Basically it’s just a take out spot. Which is fine, we ordered the halibut and sat in the park across. Fish was fried well and fries were equally as good. Pretty pricey for take out though.
