| - While helping a friend last weekend, she suggested getting take-out from Market Street Catch next to St Lawrence Market. I was a bit surprised when I got there, as I had assumed from passing by a few times that it was a sit-down restaurant, but it's more like a serving counter with a few tables and stools by an eating counter. It was also quite loud inside, but not because of the customers, but from the cooking equipment behind the counter. The lady behind the counter was also quite distracted; she had to step away twice in the time it took me to order 2 meals for take-out. So not the best start, but things did get better from there. The wait was not very long, although there was a steady stream of customers coming through.
The menu had lots of options: 7-8 different types of fish available in sandwiches or from the grill, along with shrimp and lobster and several seafood pastas. My friend had been there before so had requested the grilled tilapia sandwich, and after some indecision, I decided to try the grilled swordfish (over the lobster poutine). We both had the side of fries (salad is also available) and coleslaw. They also have a selection of craft beers on display, but not sure if they serve other alcohol.
I had never had swordfish before, but it was excellent. Two large pieces of fish, tender and well-cooked, with some lemon and very nice tartar sauce; the fries and coleslaw were good too. I quite enjoyed my entire meal. My friend also seemed to enjoy her tilapia sandwich. The total bill was $30 for two meals, so I think a good price for fresh seafood. I am sure that I will return to try some other types of grilled fish or seafood pastas.
