Run by industry vets, this Junction spot is known for sourcing the best catch — then prepping it to perfection. With a menu that jumps from fish pies topped with buttery puff to crispy po' boys and zippy crudos, it's obvious that the team excels at using fish, crustaceans, mollusks and more in myriad tempting ways.

Welcoming and warm, this cozy restaurant near Jarvis and Adelaide grips diners with a menu filled with raw bar and comfort food favourites with a global twist. Tucking into oysters from both coasts followed by Diver scallops with pork belly or Korean style Atlantic mackerel is always a good time.

Small and salty or meaty and sweet — oysters of every kind are the focus at this restaurant with locations in Scarborough and Markham. Still, with attention to freshness and variety extending to the entire menu, coastal fare in every iteration — from chowder and ceviche, to lobster rolls and gorgeous grilled seafood — is also irresistible.

A shrine to quality ingredients and meticulous culinary techniques, this West Queen West spot is a magnet for sophisticated diners looking to be impressed. Swimmingly fresh and picture perfect, seasonal seafood finds its way into a number of chilled and warm dishes — from sea urchin with egg custard to grilled sea bass with Salt Spring mussels and bouillabaisse.

A serious seafood program grounds this buzzing restaurant in the heart of King West. Frosty tiered towers cause a stir but it's the team's grilled octopus, seafood risotto and showstopping truffled lobster mac and cheese — not to mention the martini flights — that keep diners scurrying back.

With a prime location in St. Lawrence Market (plus a takeout one in the Financial District) it's no wonder this bustling spot tops many tourist's must-visit lists. Wait your turn and be rewarded with lip-smackingly fresh fish and chips, clam chowder, grilled fish, and sandwiches stuffed with seafood of every kind.
