What surprised me most was their pocket book ! It is now December 2025 saying bye , their new pocket book 2026 was truly a great gift !

Fantastic fresh perch and pickerel. Batter is light, large portions, old school seating if you can get a seat. Staff is awesome. Fries are really good too. Great little fish and chips shop (and fresh fish sales). Highly recommended, a real gem. No other place in Port Colborne compares.

The fried perch is so tasty and unique. They serve up some great fish and chips all around here. Really enjoyed the jalapenos in the coleslaw. Everything is so fresh and tasty. The tartare sauce is done really well too. Little tang and a lot of flavour. Friendly staff and fast kitchen. Like the exterior of this place. Prices are okay. Limited hours. No Free WiFi.

Visiting local friends, we took a short jaunt to Port Colborne to visit Minor Fisheries. Not only can you purchase the freshest fish to take home, but their fish platters are some of the best I've eaten. What I especially like about our meal? The perch and pickerel coating is so light and crisp...just enough to enhance the fish with a good crunch. It was a bit chilly so the doors were down on the enclosed eating area, but we could see through to the Welland Canal and watch a tanker float by. After eating, take a walk along the Canal road..so many cute shops to check out.

This is a one of a kind fish and chips place. They use fresh fish and they are not soaked in oil. The food was tasty but, a bit pricy. The customer service was good and I would definitely recommend this place for visitors.
