Sea Witch Fish and Chips

Sea Witch Fish & Chips, located at 636 St Clair Ave W in Toronto, is an independent spot opened in 2014 by Kevin Kowalczyk. Known for its traditional British-style fish and chips, the menu offers a variety of fish—cod, haddock, halibut, and pickerel—coated in a special batter and deep-fried in beef drippings [1, 2, 3]. Accompanied by thick-cut chips and house-made tartar sauce, standout items also include the Pickerel Sandwich and poutine [2]. Following its launch, the restaurant was named one of the Top 10 New Restaurants in Toronto by The Globe and Mail in 2014, and has been featured on Toronto Life's lists for best sandwiches and poutines [1, 4].
