BEWARE OF FAKE REVIEWS. Pier 87 Fish has been putting 'Write a 5 star review on Google' as a requirement in their giveaways. This is extremely unethical and illegal. If they need the extra positive reviews, I would be worried about what they're trying to hide.

Food is decent, portions and prices are fair

The food was absolutely delicious and the employees were very friendly and personable. My mother and I split the miso tuna poke bowl and the lobster poutine. Both dishes were relatively inexpensive for the quality of the meal. The oysters were also very good. Would definitely recommend.

This place is every seafood lover's dream! I was really impressed by the Lobster Poutine I bought from here, It was just fantastic! Mussels were also pretty good, can't go wrong with amount you get for $10. The food does take a little bit of time to get ready (like 10-15 minutes or so) but I would rather my food be fresh and take some time rather than something sitting around all day. Overall I really enjoyed the food here and I would highly recommend trying it!

Nick van Vlymen

This place is awesome! I’ve been to a few different fish markets and restaurants but Pier 87 is by far the best tasting I’ve been too! And largest selection and fresh and frozen fish and seafood for a market setup. Very impressed overall. Ordering from the oyster bar has about a ten minute wait but it’s definitely worth it. Highly recommend trying the lobster roll and grilled cheese! And while you’re at it, get a few oysters shucked! Super tasty!

Karan Chhetri

I have been waiting for 25 minutes for my order. The kitchen seems very disorganized without a clue.

Charlie Chu

The portions are extremely small and the taste very average. Extremely expensive..not worth it.. much better seafood places you can goto

James Lee

$30 for a small salty lobster roll and bit into some lobster with shells and was told the lobster comes premade, so they don't check what is put into your roll.

Zhoupin Layeghi

First time there in the food district. I ordered a poke bowl and chowder fries. Both were extremely good tasting! I would highly recommend it. Prices were perhaps a bit higher than other locations, but given the location is understandable.

Manoj Rai

Amazing food!! Super fresh, perfect portions and fairly priced. Highly recommend this place! Must try the deep fired oreos with blueberry ice cream!!!

Florence Casuga

Tried the lobster poutine, lobster looked and tasted like baby food smeared over the poutine, portion was very small, waste of money.

Jason Boere

Good fish and chips but a little too much batter.

This is a fries restaurant, fish is the side. 90% of the weight is fries。

zaheen ahmad

The clam chowder is quite good but the poke bowl, the rice is not fully cooked yet

Christy Olpenda Quintos

Went out of our way to order here for dinner cause we LOVED it the last time we ordered 2 days ago around lunch time. Only to be disappointed that it wasn’t the same quality as last time. The fries were oily and soggy and the Haddock’s batter was so mushy that it was falling off the fish. We still ate it (cause it’s not cheap, almost $100 total worth of food) but I didn’t feel good after eating it as it was so oily. Ordered 40 mins before closing time but it seemed like the kitchen staff were so ready to go home that they didn’t bother to cook it properly.

Eric Hui Athletics

Place for good fish and chips and yummy lobster roll????

Bella Djokorvash

Some of the things are very pricey but otherwise good

S. K.D.

Fish tacos were great, and the kids loved the mac and cheese. The shrimp tacos only had 1 shrimp per taco. Definitely won't fill you up and not worth the price.

CC Mok

The clam chowder was more a soup than a chowder. I liked the taste of it and the clams and mussels were good, but I was expecting it to be thicker considering it was supposed to be a chowder. The poke bowl had great presentation, but it was just ok. It had a bit of kick which was good. Maybe it was the time that we went, but he thought the fish would be more fresh. Next time I will try what I really wanted...lobster poutine!!

Lisa Shanahan

Nasty lobster roll. Do NOT make the same mistake I did. Keep searching. This is not where you want to eat, my friend.

Qurrat Ansari

clam chowder was ok....but DO NOT ORDER the MAC & CHEESE (esp. with Lobster added....extra $15 for 2 claws???? doesn't half or full tail usu cost $15) $24 for MAC & Lobster that is the size of small poutine!!!!!!!!!! ... GO across the lane to where my sis gets her salads or that BBQ joint at the front inside entrance.

Sal Battaglia

Beautiful presentation and variety of fish.

Mandy Werner

It's average at best. I've been here twice and have been disappointed both times. The shrimp po boy and lobster roll are both good, but pretty small for the price. The lobster Mac and cheese tasted like Kraft dinner with some lobster thrown in, which sucks for a $20 dish. I love seafood but will probably not return here.

Clarisse T.

Tried the Calamari and Fries with Lobster Poutine and Haddock Fish & Chips! It was enjoyable.

parika tewari

Visited the new Square One food district on opening day and decided to give this place a try. I didn't want anything fried so from the "grill" section of the menu I chose the tuna with 2 sides, rice + veg. Bad call. Although the tuna itself was good, the amount of food on the plate was laughable. I knew the portion of tuna would be small because of its cost but I was not expecting the small serving of rice and the frozen veggie mix. (double the rice would cost them a few CENTS more...) Basically you're spending $15 and it's more like a snack instead of a meal. I noticed fish & chips meals gave a bit more food so if you don't mind fried food I'd choose that This place is set to be one of the more popular spots in the food district. A lot of people will try it out, whether they will repeat will be the question

Cerise

Good food but my friend who ordered the lobster poutine didn't like it and asked to change for a poke bowl. The girl at the counter said that she'll replace for free, which was a nice gesture. But few mins later the manager spoke to my friend and told him that she didn't have the authority to give the food for free. To which my friend replied that he wasn't looking for a free meal regardless. My friend gave his opinion to the manager on how it showed that the whole team isn't on the same page and gladly paid for the replacement. To me it showed a lack of managerial incompetence for the restaurant. Nonetheless fresh food and good poke bowl. May not visit again due to the incident.

Traveling The World

I drove here especially for the lobster roll, after seeing it on IG. I was very disappointed. It wasn’t because of the price and it is pricey, it is because it wasn’t cooked properly, it was raw inside, and really didn’t have much of a taste. Everything about the place was otherwise nice , happy to see all kinds of frozen fish in the freezer. The packaging was nice and so were the fries. I don’t like giving negative reviews, but this is the truth.

Mia Marukot

Food is horrible, the fish is really really dry. But okay Service.

Abrar Hussain

Two words... Calamari fries!! I love it!! Lobster poutine was really good too. They have pretty huge portions so I would definitely come back! Also, fish tacos were just mehhh.

Alex Chao

I ordered the cod fish and chips... It was okay, fish seemed a little rubbery though and really oily. Pretty expensive was a little dissapointed.

When I first came to this place, the first dishes I wanted to try were the lobster poutine and the lobster mac and cheese. I went there yesterday with friends and tried both. They tasted really delicious, especially the lobster poutine which is to die for. I am definitely coming back to this place to try their fish and chips and chowder fries. Totally Worth It!!!!!!!!!

Monica Bujnowski

Meh... don’t get too excited. Portions are small for what you pay. I had the lobster roll... it was tasty. Lots of fresh fish to choose from and even a frozen section. Set up is nice and the whole food district is pretty cool, but also very pretentious. High prices for everything... you are paying for the experience, not the substance.

Anamika Sarkar

busy but worth the wait. had the tuna and greens daughter calamari fries we loved them. the service is great staff took time to explain everything

Stacy Price

I found the food really really good, I noticed people complaining about the price, when is fish cheap, unless it’s fish fillet from McDonald’s.

manikkadc

Very bad service! Bad attitude. Lady at the cash raising her eyes at me with attitude and raising her voice.

Jim Courtney

High quality, visually pleasing, excellent Poke bowl. Some serving sizes are a little small. A must try

Fatma Nurmohamed

Yesterday we had a cod fish and chips meal. The portion was much smaller than the last time I ordered it. They hide the malt vinegar and ketchup so you have to ask the cashier. Cutlery is tiny plastic fork, knife and spoon. Fries were mostly over cooked and hard. Not impressed.

Tao Zhang

I was there today ordered cod fish and chips meal, my order came loaded with extra oil the crust was saturated and translucent from being in oil for a long time, and same was the case with fries, this was my second visit, first time I went there and tried calamari fries, almost 70% were regular fries, very disappointed..

Charles Coutu

We had the lobster roll cost us $30 it's beyond mediocre , the lobster meat is not seasoned at all, the portion size is really small, it doesn't deserve one star I'll probably give zero Stars!!.

Figure it Out

Went to the Food District site, fish and chips halibut. Stay away not edible, hard as stone batter and fish smelled funky. Staff unknowledgeable.

Alexandra Defreitas

Really tasty food. We had shrimp tacos and octopus fries. The food was fresh and cooked well. Price for the fish tacos, I would have liked a bit less cabbage and a bit more of the shrimp. The octopus fries were awesome. The fries were cooked perfectly and seasoned. The octopus texture was that it should be ans the seasoning and dipping sauce was really good.

Joanne Harris-Bedford

Love their lobster role. A bit pricey but absolutely delicious!

Elizabeth Bryson

Had the fish and chips. Really fresh cod (not frozen) with great batter. Fun to eat at the bar and watch the guys shuck oysters.

Jeff Pak

Might want to wait for a few days. Staff here are too busy/stressed to provide customer service. When we asked what time we could order we were told 11:30. And at 11:38 while standing there without acknowledgement we asked again and we were told “we are ready when the kitchen says we are ready” Another customer was also told “we open when the kitchen opens”. It was more important to setup the oyster bar with no customers than to tend to the line of people waiting to order. Customer service not at its best today. Maybe next time we will actually try something from the menu.

M Munir Nawas

This is my favourite spot in the FOOD DISTRICT, at Square One...I love their Yellow Fin Tuna Fish Tacos. Though this time around, I decided on the Lobster Poutine. Yes, delicious chunks of fresh Lobster meat in a seafood gravy with a fully intact Claw to top it off. Soooo good. If you enjoy fresh seafood, this is the place to try out at the Mall.

Thomas Dembie

The food here is decent and beats a lot of the traditional food court options. As others have noted, I’ve found that the portions are a bit small (buns need to be a bit bigger to fit all the lobster or shrimp) and it’s a bit pricey, even for seafood. I do like the sauces they use and the menu has a lot of variety so I will be coming back. There needs to be more seating in the Food District overall to accommodate all the locations.

Chris Hau

Wow, this place does it right! If I knew it was going to be such big portions I would have brought a friend. Still ate the whole bowl of clam chowder, even though I was pretty full by the end. That's how you know it's amazingly delicious ????.

OfficialG Tui

My mom and I got halibut fish and chips, for two people it was $50 dollars. It came with one piece of fish each and a handful of fries. The fish was dark brown due to the dirty oil, and it tasted burnt and had a burnt after taste due to the dirty oil, as did the fries. We tried to eat it but couldn’t and spoke with the chef letting them know it was not a 50 dollar priced meal for 2 and that it tasted dirty and burnt from the oil. They proceeded to tell us they change the oil 3 times a week. Only 3 times a week. We were told to give them the meals back and we were able to receive a whole refund thankfully. It was a very poor experience and brings a bad name to the fish and chips industry.

Zenia Irani

The lady at the cash is very rude and has a bad attitude. I Canceled my order because of her bad vibes

Jeff Teixeira

Best fish and chips in town. The clam chowder is also fantastic. Seating and service is OK.

Maaz Samdani

Great seafood selection. Must try this place if you want a seafood diner tonight.

Vanessa Ricci

Very good fish and chips with good seasoning. Yummy!

Amanda Reinhart

I think when girls take orders , they need to listen client when asking no mango sauce. Or cooker needs to read

Shea Kelly

We came at one minute late after speaking to the person taking the order earlier ... we weren’t even new and just showing up. They turned us away saying they already took the last order and ask I’m speaking to her she is putting the shutter down on my face. No apology nothing. Extremely disappointing service .

Fabian

Ordered halibut off the grill. It was tasty but cost 30 dollars!!! It would require at least two portions to feed my 90 lb girlfriend. We were extremely disappointed and felt ripped off. What a shame there are such practices

Katey Townshend

Updated! They contacted us, apologized and offered to pay back. Good customer service. What had happened? My husband and I ordered the Fish and Chips (Pollock) plate and Tacos, we had them for lunch. In the night, we were both throwing up, we didn't eat anything else during the day, we had the smell of the fish in our nose, doctor said it was food poisoning. The size of the fish was less than 2 milimeters, it was all rapped up in breadcrumbs. I will never go back and I won't ever recommend it. Besides the cashier threw us the bag with our food in the counter, very displeasing.

Sunita Raj

Most delicious and fresh oysters. The nicest staff I’ve ever met, very entertaining and a must see place!!

stephane banon

Good service but, the halibut was way over cooked as was a few of the others fish. Sad for $24

Rubin Xhelili

I love lobster rolls. And now I can get it at square one. A little pricy for the portion I get, but honestly, I put up with it. Staff is friendly and service is pretty quick. Being rather crazy for ketchup, I often have a lot with my fries and sometimes get judged for it at places like McDonald’s. But when I asked the staff for some more ketchup, they happily gave me more with a smile and no judgement for it. Will most definitely be coming here often.

michael m

Whatever you do, do not get the fish and chips. It was $23 for halibut and chips. The fries were good but the halibut was some over worst I’ve ever had it was super rubbery and dry. It was honestly hard to eat. Which is a huge disappointment because I was expecting big things.

mona hassan

I actually really enjoyed my fish tacos and fries. The prices are fairly reasonable for what we got, and the tacos were enough for a snack shared among two people!

Chris Woo

Good fresh seafood selection. Picked up a salmon fillet from them to make gravlax.

reynard lopez

Had the mussels and it did not taste fresh. Clam chowder was bland. Long wait times.. Seems disorganized as several customers behind me had their orders before mine.

Diana Vargas

As much as I wanted to give this place a chance, the lobster roll was not very good for $30. In fact, it was pretty bad and one of the worst lobster rolls I’ve ever had.

Cricky Harlow

For $24.71 I expected the lobster roll to be a little more fresh because it was straight up cold... and the portion was really tiny. Super disappointed as I was looking forward to this all week.

J Davis

OMG! SO GOOD! Had the Calamari fries. Perfectly seasoned with just enough heat. Will definitely be back!

K S

I was lucky enough to get the calamari fries for $1.05 because of a deal that was going on. This was my second time eating here and I was very satisfied. The portion size was great (when they first opened up I didn't get nearly the same amount of calamari). Make sure you get extra Cajun tartar sauce because that truly makes a difference! Happy eating!

Nathan Park

The pollock was slimey=spoiled and i got food poisoning from it... There was no lemon included and the tartare sauce tasted nothing like the real thing... Avoid please for your own health.

M Zia

Garbage place, over priced, lack of customer service . You would think that during covid they would try a little extra to keep customers. No updates on take out that was ordered a day in advance, only to go there to find out changes made to your order or items not available. It's frustrating because they can call to ask if you are still picking up your order at a specified time but can't call to notify you of changes until your at the cashier. will not recommend.

Michelle Veza

Great selection of quality seafood. Menu items taste amazing! Finally a quality seafood joint in Toronto!!!

Adam Armstrong

A little expensive. My girlfriend is really into fish and she thought it was okay.

J K

I buy my poke bowls from them all the time and it’s great!! The only reason why i gave a three star rating is because sometimes they get EXTREMELY stingy with their ingredients! I mean i pay 16$ for a meal the only thing i ask for is a little more veggies......

A S

Worst chowder ever ... Seems off a store can and not even heated probably... Salmon off the grill was good but vegetables frozen perhaps not even microwaved properly.

Marcello M (eyeCnow)

Had the shrimp tacos, staff was amazing and attentive. Sara went provided excellent service!

Kyle Rhim

The food was good. Had a lobster roll and it was small, maybe not satisfying enough for a meal but lobster is pricey and they do put a lot of lobster on the roll. I think they could stand to change the ratio of roll to toppings, the bun is small and the lobster is heaped on. The fries were well seasoned however when we received them they were room temperature at best, not hot. They would have tasted much better hot. My mom got the fish sandwich, I can’t remember but it had blue in the name. We traded bites, her sandwich was also good but at over $14, it could have been bigger. The toppings and fish were also piled high onto the sandwich, I think, like the lobster roll, they could stand to utilize a larger bun for the amount of toppings.

Ramon Lopez

Wow!! Amazing food and amazing service. Must try! Worth the 2 hour drive to go square one!!!!

Dahlia Cham

First time order..not bad..but better options in Mississauga

Fortuno Cheung

I was quite excited to try pier 87, it was busy and people looked happy with their choices, plus who doesn't love raw salmon!? After ordering the salmon poke bowl I eagerly awaited for my number to be called. I was told it should be about 10 minutes, yay! After 25 minutes I noticed one person (who ordered way after me) was called to the front and was told there was an issue with rice and they didn't have any more. They were ok with veggies instead of rice but I was just happy it wasn't me, who wants a poke bowl on veggies!? After 30 minutes I decided to go up and ask about my order because honestly I'm annoyed that it's taking so long. While I'm talking with the girl the guy calls my number and I decide to verify the order and I say salmon poke bowl on rice right, he says no on veggies we don't have rice right now. It was extremely disappointing that no one even asked if it was ok to change my order and they were perfectly fine giving me the wrong order. I understand that sometimes things break/happen but how they dealt with it was wrong and is why I would not recommend them.

Alexander Mayorov

The Asian female that served me EXTREMELY rude. Missed a whole meal from my order then argued for so long made excuses even though my order was through uber eats and it was printed clearly in her ipad. Everyone makes mistakes but she never ONCE apologized or tried to compensate me. All she had to say was I’m sorry idk how i missed this. She then tells me i can’t have rice because they were closing so made a random meal. And they were closing because she doesnt know how to work the ipad or whatever they receive uber orders on. She never clicked “order ready for pick up” it said “preparing” for ages so i was waiting in my car for ages outside the food district. When i told her about it she made excuses and argued she did click the button for ready for pick up. So i went on back on my phone and took a screenshot of still “preparing food” even after the mall closed and i received my food. She also wouldnt staple my bag for ages i asked her multiple times. I had a long drive and food falls out of the bag and in the car otherwise. She kept saying she didn’t have a stapler even though the boys that worked there earlier this week had properly packed my meals and stapled it. She is a LIAR plus not capable to work the ipad. There was huge language barrier too shes not fit for this job that requires reading orders and receiving them nor is she fit for customer interaction if she can’t even apologize but has the nerve to argue when shes wrong (my order wasnt verbal the app had proof in writing)!!!

Joy C

Love the Pollock fish and chips from Pier 87. The batter and fries are well seasoned! When my friends and family from the UK come to Canada for a visit, I'll be sending them to Pier 87 for the best fish and chips in Mississauga!!

Katherine

Bad service and food is overpriced

brampton store

The quality of their seafood is very good, and reasonably priced. I will definitely be going back!

Alex Du

CALAMARI IS AMAZING
