Great Sandwiches of the GTA #2 : The Fish Store


On College Street there is a small, almost triangular spot. I'm not sure I can call it a 'shop' or 'restaurant' - it's almost more like a permanent 'stall' that makes up the most exquisite fish sandwiches. It's called The Fish Store. Follow this link to read even more - I'm not the first to sing it's praises. It's definitely on my top ten sandwiches list.

When you arrive you are asked to pick a type of fish. The fish is out for you to see on the counter, like a fish store. It's hard to pick - it's FRESH! There is also some seafood. When I took the picture above, I had found a plastic seat up against the end wall - you are looking at the entire place. Don't expect to get a place inside to sit when the weather warms up - the lineup will be out the door! There's places to sit outside on picnic tables.


They also make great soups, apparently...but I can never get enough of their wonderful sandwiches. My grouper sandwich today had assorted vegetables and cilantro with a spicy sauce, Sriracha and tabasco were also available. Even the buns are great.

North Shore Sandwiches (Quebec)


Here's something nobody ever tells you about the North Shore of the St. Lawrence River in Quebec; but if you're within 40 klicks of the Saguenay along the coast road, keep your eyes peeled for small hand lettered signs in gas stations or variety stores for 'sandwiches crevettes'.

You'll find very simple sandwiches with the freshest shrimp, mayo and bread you've ever eaten.
