Where is the best Seafood Store in the west end?

I'm looking for a quality seafood store in the lakeshore/park lawn area or thereabouts I was told about a great one down there (dont recall the name) but the directions I was given were a wild goose chase.

Thanks

      Osler Fish Market on Osler (go under the rail viaduct at Dupont and Dundas ... east of Keele). They're commercial suppliers (lots of restos and mongers) and have a retail shop too.

      I'll even buy fish from them on Mondays!

        Eeew. I walked in. Place smelled fishy. Wasn't impressed. The fish selection was very boring. Walked out and never went back.
        BTW, there's a fish place at Dupont and Dufferin that you can smell from the street. I went in once, just to see what was the deal. I couldn't stand the smell and left.

        "Big Fish", small, very fresh, south side of the Queensway just west of Royal York, opposite the NoFrills

          Try City Fish Market on Dufferin between Lawrence and Glencairn. I have also heard that Red Sea on Jane Street is good.

                  I third it. Just north of Queensway, west of Kipling, I think.

                    I second Mike's. They have a second location at the St. Lawrence Market but the wholesale outlet is aboud 20% cheaper. They are just north of IKEA on the Queensway.

                      It's further west but Mike's Fish(the retail arm of the big All Seas wholesale operation)on North Queen near Sherway Gdns in Etobicoke is nice.
