| - Lobster is easily one of my favorite foods in the world. I hadn't found a good lobster place in North America until I came to Toronto and tried Fisherman Lobster Clubhouse Restaurant. I have come this place for more than ten times. Whenever my friends come to town or my parents come to visit, I would just take them there for sure.
I would say compared with other lobster places, especially these western ones, Fishman is much cheaper. At lease, it won't charge you $40 for only one lobster tail. For less than $150, you are able to get six pounds of lobster, chicken soup, vegetable, fried lobster brain rich and desert. And if you get three people to share all of these, it would be less than $50 for each person.
You can choose many ways to cook the lobster here, such as deep fried lobster with garlic or steam lobster claws. My favorite is "Lobster in Hong Kong style". They deep fried the lobster with small salty fish and garlic, and serve it in a huge plate. It is literally a lobster mountain.I am not kidding!!! And No chopsticks are need at all. You just eat with your bare hands (plastic gloves are available though). Just put that huge chunk of lobster meat into your month and you will know what I mean.
This place is quite popular in weekend and holidays, especially Chinese holidays, and they only take reservation at 6:00pm and 8:00pm every day according to what I know. However, for most of the time, even though you made reservation and show up on time, you may still have to wait a little bit for the table. They don't seem to be very efficient at their reservation system.
Almost all the staff here are Chinese and they are extremely nice. I guess it will be a little bit uncomfortable if you can't speak Chinese cause you will be almost completely surrounded by Chinese speakers. But I also noticed there are some waiters there who speak perfect English, so I guess you will be fine.
