Chippy's is handsdown the best fish and chips I've ever had. Their fries are amazing too. If you don't like the Queen W vibe, there's also one on Bloor close to Bathurst.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Olde Yorke on Laird Drive. Get there early on weekends. There's always a lineup of Leaside waspish types.

My place
I use fresh halibut filets, eggwash, corn starch and crushed stone wheat thins.
The double dip the filets in the egg-wash; the first time to adhere the corn startch and the second for the cswt. Then I fry it in grape seed oil. I know its more expensive than canola oil but it has a very smoking point. It seals in the filets making them moist and flakey with a minimum of excess grease.
I cut Yukon Gold potatoes into fries and soak them for 15 minutes then I double fry them. The result are fries that are crispy on the outside and soft within.
Sprinkle of sea salt, drizzle of malt vinegar and a pint of Boddington's.
Buon Apetitto!

Being of British/Irish heritage I always enjoy a great fish and chips with mushy peas and coleslaw. Here are my choices
Mississauga - The Belfast Lounge. Its sit in, not take out though but hands down the best fish and chips in the west end. To the guy that said Caz's, you're nuts. That might be the worst fish I've ever tasted. I could hardly swallow it without feeling naucious.
Toronto - High Street Fish and Chips in the Donwoods Plaza (DVP and Lawrence area). I tried it based on recommendation by John Oakley on 640 and he was bang on. Frank McNie is the fish and chips guru of Toronto and this is his latest venture. I remember first trying his fare back in the 80's when he opened up a 'chippy' around the corner from my house. Top notch.
