Reviews of Purdy’s Fish Market (Fish Shop)

Billy Sipkens

Great food!

Michael “Rocky Blossom” Briol

Summer fresh fish takeout is absolutely fresh and delicious

Best fish and chips in Sarnia Ontario

brian randall

We really love eating here. We are from Indiana and stop at Purdy's every time we visit Canada. The fish is fresh caught and lightly battered. And eating it next to the gorgeous blue water of the St. Clair River with the ships that travel the Great lakes providing the entertainment is a not to be missed opportunity. The staff here is friendly and the fish market on site gives you an opportunity to take home fish and seafood items to prepare.

Nicholas Chevalier

Hot, fresh, consistent, every time! Purdy's serves THE best fish n chips along with a wonderful view ????????

Ron Demick

Tamms W

Fantastic as always!

glenn Jones

Fish is always fresh. Everything is delicious. Staff is friendly and helpful. A treat in the summer...fish and chip dinner with a million dollar view.

Joe Dionne

Amazing service and food we love the view on the water

G. Pete Hennin

Great place to enjoy great food and great scenery (Bluewater Bridge & St. Clair river). Only regret was no cole slaw with our order. Next time!

Rudy Fischer

Best place to get fresh fish. Goes fast in the summer.

Marcie Frewin

Great pickerel dinner, really generous portions. All a big eater could do to finish.. Sitting alongside the St Clair River is a bonus. Highly recommend.

Debra Schram

Great pickerel dinner!!

Jamie Woudstra

Wow...wow...what a fish place!

laurie addison

Very tasteful yellow perch with plenty of fries along the St. Clair riverside near the Blue Water Bridge. The $15 lunch was well worth it on the sunny day.

carvis hidalgo

Excellent food, polite staff, beautiful location. Wish there was delivery or was on skip but not taking away stars for that. Best fish n chips in the city

R. Reagan

Wonderful place for a fish and chips dinner. The menu is limited but is fresh locally caught fish. The seating is plain but keeping in the style of a riverside fishery experience. A store on the premises sells fresh catch of the day fare and allows you to take the experience home.

Andrew Kellman

Freshyvbrought in fish. Like it

Michael Hurst

The fish is always fresh. They also have take out fish and chips booth bu the water.

Kimberly Golden

Fish was fresh as always and the service was great!

Jorge Brzeczyszczykiewicz

The meal was delicious. Perch is awesome

Joshua Kubinec

Amazing crispy batter, incredible fries, in a beautiful covered patio on the intensely blue St. Clair river with a great view of the Bluewater bridge.

Donna Wade

They have a good selection of lake and sea food. The stuffed crabs are awesome.

Judi Goodfellow

Great eats right on the water!

Claudio Martin

A very nice place by the water

Christine Lehmann

Come here for enjoying fresh fish and sitting right by the river, not the fries or the service. You walk up to get your order (which is fine), however even pre-COVID, someone to wipe tables between customers needs to be a must. Having said that, the fish is the freshest in Sarnia, or you can by fish at the market to take fish home and prepare it there to your liking. Having one staff member attending to the tables is my only feedback. In sum, you want an evening by the river, pick two: Purdy's for fish, under the bridges for fries, Ice Cream Galore for dessert.

Brendan Sauve

Darryl Campbell

Excellent fish. A pleasure to have excellent selection and accommodating on phone order. Excellent smoked salmon as well. Highly recommend fresh Huron catch.

Sharon Bennett

Purdy’s is a staple for Sarnians & a must eat for visitors. A lot of ppl will bring their relatives from out of town (Chatham, Windsor & East Ontario) to try their amazing perch or pickerel ????. We get a lot of repeat Americans or ones who are driving by. The smoked trout & salmon are our favs. We took our friend to buy salmon & the girl was helpful & her weighing skills were amazing. Thank you to ur staff & fam for always being so kind to our visitors. Sarnia represent!

So glad to have discovered Purdy's. Fresh pickerel caught early the same morning. The restaurant serves beautiful fish and chips right at the Waters edge at a reasonable price. Doesn't get any better than this. If you like fresh fish...Try it. You'll love it.

A hidden gem of a fish market in Sarnia, On. Do not expect any fancy shop or service, but do expect to purchase fresh fish, or made to order yummy meals. ????

Darryl Brooks

Fresh fish, good portions and supporting local fishermen.

I grew up in Sarnia but never made it to Purdy's until this past weekend when i was home visiting my parents. I'm so glad they took me too! It was fantastic and clearly very popular! The food was amazing and the portions are HUGE for the dinners!! I want to go back every time I am in Sarnia!

Brent Lucas

Was looking for perch...they had pickerel. Heavy batter...other than that, hot and tasty.

Cyndi Hare

Why would you ever buy fish at a grocery store when the fish is from China Thailand or Vietnam when u have a local business to support and fish from our own country. Always great product!

Max Murray

So yummy worth the drive

Denis Gadwa

Amazing open-air, dockside locale for fish & chips... Pickerel or Perch to boot! Fair prices & great, fresh food at the dockside restaurant -or- in their seafood store where you can bring a wide variety of Lake Huron's finest fish to cook at home yourself!

Fantastic pickerel dinner at Purdy's dockside fish fry! Sit under the awnings or out in the sun. Proper distancing and sanitizing is evident. A definite must if visiting Sarnia/Point Edward!

Karen McGeoch

We sat outside by the river eating fish and chips what's not to like wonderful experience we will be back

Lynda Proulx

Good fish. Lovely views of the river

tuela LAWSON

Great fish sellection

jenn bagnall

I had an awesome perch dinner with fries and coleslaw. The view is amazing sitting by the river. It is not cheap but it is a fair price for the amount of fish you get. I will be a return customer.

Al Coyne

Best fish in chips come here every time im in town

Barry Sims

Nice place to eat on the water and great fresh fish

N R

The best Fish in Sarnia.

Larry Douglass

No other place to buy your fresh fish in Sarnia/Point Edward..... local catch and ocean fish...

Paul McGladdery

Sooooooo good! Their menu is limited to the day's catch, which may disappoint some, but they fry it up great no matter the type of fish. We ordered quite a bit of food and it was amazing fresh and as leftovers. Good prices for fresh fish and large portions for the cost. If you're visiting Sarnia you got to eat here.

BILL CHUMKO

Good view but expensive for fish and chips.

Mark McCarthy

Everything that we are at Purdy's tasted super fresh, light and it was so good. My wife and I will definitely patronise this restaurant again.

ROGER HALFORD

Fish lovely & the fries are delicious

Gillian Guertin

The best fish and chips anywhere in this area. We're lucky to have is gem.

Kathy Brennan

Always a good food experience. Quick service and a beautiful waterfront

Ted tenderly

Purdy's is a fine old established fish company in Point Edward, Ontario. Their product is fresh caught and quickly sold. A few years ago they started having a fish fry on Friday and Saturday nights. It is held outside and is well received by all who come. As far as a know, the fish fry outdoor restaraunt is open only on Friday and Saturday and not in winter.

glen metcalfe

The perch was great. Even my hubby liked it and he's not a big fish eater. Fries and coleslaw was good. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

avi wasserman

best perch and pickerel anywhere

julie white

Friendly staff, good fresh fish and perfectly prepared fries. Could use a little more tartar sauce but otherwise very nice meal.

Wayne Forbes

Best place for fish and chips in town, hands down. Really, the best fish and chips place I've ever been to. Beautiful place to eat outside, right beside the water. Whenever family visits from out of town in the summer months, this is where I take them.

Rob Tait

Very good fryed perch, great view of the river and nice covered eating area. I just thought the meals were pricey.

Chris Churchill

Friendly staff

Everyone loves purdy. Fresh fish lots of variety and good prices.

ian dunlap

Great fresh caught perch and good view! All out doors

Tim Mater

Smoked salmon was excellent

Tom Cheverie

Nice fish ????

Tom Hall

Really nice fresh fish from our own great lakes, get today's freshest catch.

Jozie Gt

Good outdoor spot for fish & chips right on the river's edge. View is great! The fried pickerel is delicious, the service is usually pretty quick, and the staff are friendly. Downsides are that they only take cash and they don't serve beer; I'd give four stars if either of these items were resolved. Purdy's might be difficult to find if you're not a native Sarnian; but, it's just beyond the casino, so head in that direction and you'll find it at the end of the road where it curves to the right.

RUN GUN

Very home town

Monica Henry

This is a really cool spot. It's right on the harbour and you can eat fish and chips right there beside the water and watch the boats.

Denise Cook

Sarnia's best kept secret!

Jerry Bergsma

Glen Hawco

Tina Russell

Great fish and chips.

Sean Macdonald

It was awesome!!

Tom McCann

Fresh fish decent prices

Allan Schmidt

I was happy with fish but was disappointed w the chips as they were not homemade.

Lucille Pontarelli

I've really enjoyed getting the fish and chips here over the years, but if I'm being honest, I have to admit that the fish and chips are just ok. Like the fish is decent, but the fries are not that great. I've never bought from the market, but I've heard good things.

Gordon McKay

I'm related to Purdy's, & they gave me 1 of my 1st jobs. I know the fish is good & fresh, when they say fresh! & frozen when they say frozen. They have been good to me, & always treated me fairly, & I don't believe it's just because I'm related. I believe they do thier best, to be honest, & treat everyone fair!

Domenic Salvatore

Always amazing meals at Purdys. And they're making sure guidelines are followed. ????

David Mitchell

Go in to order, then short wait for an amazing meal !

cwcb08

Nothing but excellent

Graham Riddell

Excellent fish.

Annette St John

Great selection and prices

Bill Robertson

The oil was old and hadn't been changed in a while. The fish was good. The fries are coated which is a sin for a fish and chips shop.

Josie Demedash

Good appetizers...... Good prices today

Jennifer Honsinger

Great place to buy fresh fish (in season). Always seem to have a good selection, at a reasonable price. During the summer months they have a DELICIOUS outdoor fish fry on the weekends.

Ed Richardson

Loved the fish

M Bass

Came to store at 415. They colse at 430. Everything was put away except for a lousy pile of pickeral. They have pirch in the back. Lazy employees that are very eager to leave early. Superstores are taking over for good reason
