| - The line was looooong here, but the wait was worth the effort. We got a halibut on a bun and haddock on a bun. Both were delicious! I think the halibut was just a tinsy bit better, but to be honest, I was plenty happy with both.
They don't take credit here, so bring cash.
There is very limited seating here. Just go outside and find a seat.
The staff does seem a little impatient with some of the customers, but they were nice to us. To be honest, I can see why they seem impatient to some customers. They nicely asked people to step aside and look at the menu. When you're ready, you can step up and place an order. Yet some people still come up and then order, then they have a discussion with their friends/family, then change the order, then change it back, etc. That's *not* order when you know what you want...that's "make people behind you wait needlessly while you're still indecisive".
Someone complained that they had to use USD and were offended that this place used a 1:1 conversion. As an American, I have to say, it seems reasonable for stores to do that here. They shouldn't have to figure out what the current exchange rate is and/or negotiate the conversion rate with customers, then pay a fee for converting the money back to USD. But going beyond that, I can't think of too many stores in Toronto that do anything other than a 1:1 conversion. If it's really a big deal to Americans visiting the market, go withdraw money from an ATM. There are plenty of ATM machines around (http://www.stlawrencemarket.com/faqs).
But anyway, back to the food. I'd have to say the fish sandwiches are very good. The coleslaw it came with was just OK. But overall, I would definitely come back here again and try more of the sandwiches.
