Duckworths Fish

Great fish and chips - an neighborhood institution that my family has been going to for many years. Friendly staff and quick service!

I was a bit dissapointed because i heard great reviews about this fish and chip shop. It was not what i expected because the halibut was good ,but way to small for what i paid it was the size of a tennis ball. The chips was the best thing i enjoyed.

Been several years since I been to Duckworth's...

Been several years since I been to Duckworth's. What a disappointment. Dirty, grungy, wonder when they cleaned the fryers last. Washroom smelled awful. Prices have gone through the roof. Thirty bucks for 2 orders plus one extra fish. Ridiculous. Waitresses look like they just crawled out of bed. The whole place..dirty, run down. Whole neighbourhood's a sewer.

I like to visit a lot of Fish and Chip shops in...

I like to visit a lot of Fish and Chip shops in Toronto, maybe even some day i will write a book about the best ones. Duckworths is solid, lots of seating, good service and good food. I like the special with halibut and chips, bread and butter and soft drink. Halibut is nice and crispy, chips crisp and hand cut. Good stuff.

Good but not as good as they used to be!

Duckworth's has been a fixture on the Danforth for longer than I care to remember and they USED to be the best for "traditional type" fish and chips. The service for both take out and eat in has always been quite fast (even when they are at their busiest). The last few times we've been in there though we've noticed that the quality/quantity of their food has declined somewhat. We haven't been able to get the Orange Roughy (I know this isn't their fault as it is a supply issue) so we've ordered Halibut or Haddock and the pieces of fish have been quite small and seem to be almost uniform "chunks" of fish. Their chips have suffered as well and we seemed to get plates full of teeny, tiny chip "ends" rather than their lovely, big, fat golden fries of yesteryear. Their cole slaw is probably the best I've ever had though and reminds me of how my mother used to make it!
