Not exactly downtown, but not too far from downtown. Quite expensive, though.

In the immediate downtown core, it was Alfred's F and C for me in the 80's on east side of Yonge just south of Bloor.
The waitress that worked there looked like Andy Capp's wife , LOL
My Mom used to smash a bunch of chips and do a shake and bake style chicken(with skin). YummyI like this place in Kensington Market. Try to fish and battered in Miss Vickies potato chips. (An idea I came up with decades ago using salt and vinegar ridged chips (like Ruffles but from Presidents Choice!!)
Fresco's Fish and Chips - Kensington Market, Toronto, ON
Since opening, Fresco’s Fish & Chips has used the highest quality oil available. Low in saturated fat, FRY-ON…ZTF is a unique blend of healthy canola and corn oils that are non-hydro...frescosfishandchips.com
My special recipe for a shore lunch of pickerel was to soak the fillets in canned condensed milk, then dip in cornstarch. Let the cornstarch firm up while you get your canned maple beans and canned potatoes (sliced and fried) ready. Then dip the fillets in an egg and little bit of condensed milk wash, then dredge in crushed ridged (like Ruffles-but it was PC Chips back then) Salt and Vinegar chips.
Then pan fry them in lard in a big stamped carbon steel campfire frying pan.
Fuck me, it was great!
All the other fishermen and/or guides had our own recipes. Some liked pancake batter mix with beer. Rocky Madsen was a real estate agent back then and came up with his own fish batter recipe that I think is still sold in stores.
Unspoken shore lunch rule was that everything in the shore lunch had to be canned or otherwise not needing refrigeration.
Nothing. The moist chicken skin was enough for the chip crumbs to stick.
Definitely intrigued by the fish and chips and burger places.
I've got a bit of a sweet tooth and I've heard nothing but good things about Craig's Cookies.

Indeed, they are the best.I like the cream pies: coconut and banana. Better than sex !
I'll often go for a banana cream pie there after I give the same to someone!
Went to New Toronto many times. Long Branch Fish and Chips was also quite good, but it closed a while ago. There is a chain place called Halibut House, which is decent and they're all over the place.
McNies near Burnhamthorpe and Martin Grove was also quite good. Haven't been there in ages so who knows if it's still good. Naturally, there's a church nearby.
Perhaps you've heard of Henry's in the Georgian Bay area that's famous for its pickerel and you can only get there by boat or floatplane. There's also one in Midland as far as I can remember.
they sold. New owners raised prices and lowered quality. Not to be racist, but being racist… To be expected by the new owners. Money, money, money money money.
of course!!! Many many many times. But, be honest, the past decade or so it’s been less than great. They have to bring their fish in from Lake Erie. And I find them product a bit greasy.
Killarney’s school bus and the Killarney Mountain Lodge are fantastic! Pickerel is less abundant or more difficult to net up there with Georgian Bay whitefish being the regular feature!
