Looking for great fish dishes

[szw]

Not Chinese and preferably not whole fish (okay mention it still, if its amazing ill put it on the list). will often be dining alone, don't mind sitting at a bar. atmosphere unimportant as I just want to sample a bunch of good fish dishes in Toronto.

I do like an Asian twist, especially Japanese, but not necessary.

I say no Chinese only because I already eat a lot of Chinese.

Thanks

Zee Grill and Starfish are my go-tos for finfish. If you also like shellfish, the flown-in-from-the-Maritimes lobster is amazing at Starfish, and they will let customers share lobsters, which I thought was a nice touch.

For shellfish, I enjoy the grilled octopus and grilled calamari at Volos. I've liked every shellfish dish I've ever tried at Scaramouche. I haven't ordered finfish at Scaramouche, but I would expect it to be very good. I also like the Wednesday night crabcake special at Nota Bene, where I have also enjoyed finfish over the last year.

If you like shellfish served cold, I recommend the Vuelve a la Vida ceviche at Milagro, made with octopus, crab and shrimp. I couldn't detect much crab, but even if it's mostly octopus and shrimp, I still like it a lot. It's my favourite dish on their menu.

Please report back, to let us know where you go and what you order.

I would second Zee Grill and Starfish; Starfish especially for oysters and shellfish

Scaramouche finfish has always been excellent (as has the shellfish)

not sure how much.. i think it depends on what you get and for how many people. I was just there and got one of a few things just to try.. but i have to admit i did not see the bill!

Looks like they call it a "mixed platter" but the price is not listed.

It's mantioned right after "entrees" here: http://www.josos.com/menu.html
