You Say Sandwich, We Say Yeah!

This tasty crispy fish sandwich tastes just like the fish entree from other Portuguese bbq restaurants nearby, where the fish tastes like a greasy cloud of hope. Unlike conventional breaded fish sandwiches out there that tastes frozen or flimsy, this fish sandwich is sturdy af, so much so that I mistook this photo originally for a chicken sandwich snap. Dining in for a change at the Brazil Bakery, where I have raved over their grab and go sandwiches more than once , and been confused about whether I was eating chicken or fish more than once , their dine-in area may not be the warmest atmosphere, but I'd brave the freezing cold aluminum chairs and hostile stares from the regs any day for this bite again.

  I have been skeptical of this place as I only ever passed it later in the day when it was empty and I couldn't wait 15 minutes for a sandwich. However, after a week of not eating out, and finding myself at the intersection of College and Spadina, I stopped in for a sit down lunch at the Clubhouse Sandwich Shop . The place was packed with bodies sitting and standing all over the place. The cashier called out sandwiches to the kitchen and to the room with no distinction in tone or range, so that every time somebody ordered your sandwich, heads jerked up, teased about their hopes for sandwich readiness. The wait was very long, as people kept coming and going, and you know what? It was worth it. Not shy about its proportions and fillings, this battered cod sandwich was piping hot and so delicious. Not overly seasoned nor was the sandwich overly dressed, it was the perfect ratio of filling to bread intake, and I did appreciate the pre-cut. A lot of students we...

I can't remember where this was or where it was even within the city of Windsor, Ontario as I was being driven around and had no sense of the flatness. I know there's a lot of farmland around Windsor, and the city reminded me of Red Deer. However, I was treated to lunch at this unnamed place by some people I did not know very well on some hip street somewhere in the city and the menu did describe their fish burger as a modern take on the filet o' fish. After several deep google searches, I still can't find the name of this place, as apparently other restaurants in Windsor do modern takes on filet o' fishes and they didn't fare that well. This, however, was delicious. A crisp cod battered with a healthy dose of tartar sauce and pickles on a sweet brioche bun. Very good. The crisp slaw was also a real nice starter, opening up the palette with just enough tartness, and chopped sweet basil. I thoroughly enjoyed this meal, even if I will never know where it took p...

I've been walking by this place on College Street for months now wondering what the deal was. The Fish Store had an unassuming demeanor and its name does not lie. Part fish monger, part cafe, the allure of fish tacos on their sandwich board kept beckoning me, but running errands with a colleague one day, he said that this place was his favorite sandwich place, so we obviously took a break here. Resembling a fish shack found in fishing villages or on beaches anywhere but downtown Toronto, I ordered a daily fish special sandwich amongst the varieties on offer. I was warned against the burger, and with the option of a fish sandwich to burger, a sandwich always wins. Grilled to order, this delectable offering was served up well seasoned and with fresh veggies on a fresh roll. The sandwich was tasty, and light, like I wanted another one, but we got gelato down the block and that was pretty good, too, but I will be back for another.
