  • I'm not big on fish, and certainly not big on most types of shellfish. But when a special occasion calls for some good fish to be on the dinner table, I always seem to end up going to Hooked to procure seafood. To hell with industrialized canned, frozen and supermarket fish. At Hooked, they pride themselves in offering only fresh seafood that has been ethically sourced from sustainable stock. The level of detail is unlike most other places and makes for a unique experience. For example, you'll notice they note exactly where their products are from--"Halibut from Haida Gwaii, BC," as opposed to your usual supermarket variety "Product of Canada." Wonderful for those who really like to know where their food comes from. (Imagine if fashion stores took the same approach...) Hooked also prides itself on staffing its stores (they have a Kensington location as well) with chefs and folks with deep culinary experience. The folks here are patient, but always oozing with knowledge and advice to share. Tell them what you are planning to make or do and they'll suggest a fish from whatever is on offer and advice on how to make your meal. They don't make you feel intimidated at all. They'll probably even tell you a bedtime story about where their products come from. They'll often suggest and cut an appropriate amount for how many you'll be serving. Don't know how appropriate the amount really is, because we end up eating more than we should. Because that's how good their fish are. And their shrimp also. Those who think their dirt-cheap factory-farmed fed-with-crap shipped-frozen-en-masse Thai shrimp is good stuff don't even know what they are missing. Because, once you taste some big-ass wild-caught shrimp like that sold by Hooked, your tastebuds will be telling those tasteless supermarket shrimp to piss off. Because that's how good their shrimp are. I know they offer culinary classes and events here, as well as herbs, spices and sauces to go with your seafood. But most notably, you'll be reeled in by the degree of service you'll never get at most other seafood counters. Their stock will cost you an extra arm, but cheap food isn't cheap, and neither is good food. Quality is emphasized here much over low low prices. Come in and you'll get Hooked. {TTC: fish any Queen streetcar to Logan or Empire Aves.}
