Summer and Fall seasons in Ontario are the time of year to jump in the car and check out diners, food trucks, restaurants and more for the ultimate fish and chips. Indeed, cities, small towns and communities have fish and chips all season ensuring that people enjoy fish from Ontario’s vast fresh waters. 

No matter where you live in Ontario, it’s pretty easy to find a few fish and chips stands or restaurants near you. We are here to keep you in the know on where to find the most delicious golden fried batter fish. 

This is the season for eating locally sourced produce. Eating local in Ontario is easy!

Oh, and hey if you really want to eat local Ontario, it is very likely that the potato french fry is also local. It is very important that the accompanying ‘tater side dish is equally delicious and worth the drive. Mr. French Fry, we’re looking at you too!

In fact, other typical side dishes to fish and chips are likely locally sourced grown produce too. Summer and early-fall is a great time when Ontario gardens are bursting with cabbages, lettuces, carrots, beets and other tasty things to make coleslaw and side salads with. These help brighten the already delicious battered or pan-fried fish.
