I was having a rough day today and got hungry so I randomly decided to try this place out and what I can tell you is that my... experience here was nothing short of amazing. You can really feel the nice vibe going on the moment you walk into therestaurant. When you make your way to the front counter, you're greeted with a great smile from the owner. The moment you seethat smile you know for sure that the food he makes is made with love and attention and he gives you that same love andattention too while you're talking with him and making your order. This experience really turned my day around. The food tastedamazing and the friendliness and smile of the owner and the customers that were also dining in just really set a great mood. Ifelt the happiness of everyone enjoying what this place has to offer and it was great. Read more
Cheap and cheerful fish and chips shop. The cod fish was made crisp and not too oily. The poutine was solid fill-your-belly... fare, with pretty good cheese curds (for outside Quebec). Good classic rock music and ambience. Read more
Had a craving for fish and chips, came across Freshco in Kensington Market. Staff was friendly and the service was quick! It was... a hot day and we walked (not too far) and they gave me water for my dog while we waited for our food about 10 mins. Food wasgreat! We ordered halibut and haddock with a side order of onion rings which were a crispy golden brown. Thank you so much!Definitely a new go to for fish and chips! Read more
I love fish and chips and I believe I have tried most of the fish and chips place in Toronto. I still keep coming back to... Fresco! Adding the **Miss Vicky?s batter** is a must !!! So goood !!! My super picky mom loves it too ! Also they play Beatles.. loving the old school vibe in this busy city :) Read more
Excellent fish and chips in Toronto at the Kensington Market. French fries are massive. They love the Beatles here. Good price... as well. Read more
The 4 of us ordered halibut, cod and haddock fish n chips combos, and chicken wings with honey garlic sauce. All fish were... fresh, batter/crust superbly made - crispy and thin. DELICIOUS! I liked halibut the most. Fries tasted great too, but cannotfinish all. Next time I'll order just fish and steal some of friend's fries. Chicken wings, so so for me, too sweet and a bittough.

A great fish & chips shop in the heart of Kensington Market! My dad and I popped in for a late lunch, and we ordered the cod and... the haddock + chips (they were sold out of the halibut) and both were excellent (washed down with a classic Coke, and coldCorona). Batter was noteworthy - crispy and light which was a great compliment to the fish - and cooked to perfection. We eachtried one piece of fish with the ?special crunchy coating,? which was more akin to a tempura batter and had crumbled kettlecooked chips in it for additional crunch. I?d say that?s a best-bet? it was very crunchy but not overkill at all (definitely askfor it!!!). The side slaw was creamy and tangy - they?re not reinventing the wheel on this one and I?m just fine with that (itwas very good). Tartar sauce was tasty but frankly we enjoyed everything with a simple squeeze of lemon that accompanied themeals. Portion sizes are great, too - if you?re hungry the two pieces of fish and chips is sufficient, but I wasn?t starved sohad half of the chips and one piece of fish, and my sweetheart gladly had my leftovers for dinner. Window seating is optimal towatch the colourful goings on of the neighbourhood (there?s also booths and tables inside and picnic tables outside? you couldalso take it to go and eat in the park across the street if that?s your jam). Another pair of diners were splitting the calamariand chips and it looked very good - I?d try it next time. The man working the counter I?d assume was the owner and he waslovely, welcoming, and helpful - the kinda person you?d imagine running the local chip shop. There was a steady stream of peoplecoming in and out for food and he knew most of the folks (and they knew him) and it was the kinda vibe that makes you want toreturn over and over. And if you need a selfie before you leave, pose with the Beatles mural or memorabilia on all the walls - areal nod to UK Beatlemania. Read more
